A group of four late-Pleistocene to Holocene volcanoes is located along a NE-trending line SW of Kupreanof volcano. The SW-most of the 4 volcanoes, located NW of Stepovak Bay and 24 km SW of Kupreanof, is of late-Pleistocene age. Stepovak Bay 2 is a 200-m-high cinder cone with a Holocene andesitic lava flow extending initially to the NE, then SE.
