years 4,170 m) in Hawaii and Mount Rainier (elev.
4,392 m) in Washington have been deemed
"Decade Volcanoes" by the International
Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the
Earth's Interior, worthy of study due to their
explosive history and close proximity to human
populations; Pavlof (elev. 2,519 m) is the most
active volcano in Alaska's Aleutian Arc and poses
a significant threat to air travel since the area
constitutes a major flight path between North
America and East Asia; St. Helens (elev. 2,549
m), famous for the devastating 1980 eruption,
remains active today; numerous other historically
active volcanoes exist, mostly concentrated in
the Aleutian arc and Hawaii; they include: in
Alaska: Aniakchak, Augustine, Chiginagak,
Fourpeaked, Iliamna, Katmai, Kupreanof, Martin,
Novarupta, Redoubt, Spurr, Wrangell; in Hawaii:
