Pogromni Volcano

Pogromni Volcano

Pogromni Volcano is a shield volcano on Unimak Island in the Aleutian Islands. Near it are 5 cinder cones, and a mountain called Pogromni's Sister.

Its name came from Russian: Погромный = "characterised by violent outbreak", which here probably means volcanic eruption (but compare Pogrom#Etymology); but Pogromni is old and eroded. and historic eruptions attributed to it may have come from nearby Westdahl volcano.
