Kejulik Volcano
Kejulik Volcano, also known as Mount Kejulik or the Kejulik Pinnacles, are highly eroded remnants of an andesitic stratovolcano located in the southwestern Kejulik Mountains within the Aleutian Range near Becharof Lake.[1] The volcano lies on the border of Katmai National Park and Preserve and the Becharof National Wildlife Refuge, about 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Mount Katmai.[3] Little information is available regarding Kejulik, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory, and any possible volcanic activity is currently unknown.[1]
