Resumen geológico
Hayes volcano, located in a remote and rugged part of the Alaska Range NW of Anchorage and N of Mount Gerdine, was not discovered until 1975. It was named after nearby Hayes Glacier and consists of scattered remnants of a largely snow-and-ice covered volcano that has been destroyed by catastrophic eruptions. The most widespread Holocene eruptions in the Cook Inlet area originated from Hayes between about 3800 and 3400 years ago and produced six regional tephra layers with an average volume of 2.4 km3. The latest known eruption took place about 1000 years ago.
Resumen de Wikipedia
Resumen en inglésHayes Volcano is a stratovolcano in southwestern Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska, 135 km northwest of Anchorage, that was not discovered until 1975. It is responsible for a series of six major tephra layers in the Cook Inlet region of Alaska. Hayes was mostly destroyed by at least six catastrophic eruptions between 3,400 and 3,800 years ago, and the average volume of these eruptions was 2.4 cubic km. In comparison, the volume of the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens was about 1 cubic km. The eruptions of Hayes Volcano during that time were the most voluminous Holocene eruptions to have occurred in the Cook Inlet region. There is currently no fumarolic activity present. The last eruption of Hayes Volcano occurred roughly 1,200 years ago. It is named after the adjacent Hayes Glacier.
