The AVO reported that volcanic unrest continued at Fourpeaked during 30 September-6 October. A seismometer that was installed on 25 September indicated ongoing low-level seismicity. Due to the limited number of seismometers, earthquake epicenters were not located.
Emission rates of sulfur dioxide were high, similar to the previous week.
