Location: This approximately located occurrence is on the Alaska Peninsula on the southwest side of Mount Hague (Kennedy and Waldron, 1955). Kennedy and Waldron's map, however shows it on the southeast side. Mount Hague is west of Pavlof Bay (Wilson and others, 1988, locality 25). The location is accurate to within 2 miles.
Geology: Kennedy and Waldron (1955) described six large and many small fumaroles in a gully on the southwest side of Mount Hague between elevations of 3,200 and 3,800 feet. At that time, the fumaroles had built cones 3 to 4 feet high around each vent and had formed extensive deposits of pure sulfur in the gully. Large blocks of sulfur also had fallen to the glacier below. Fumes prevented a close approach to the cones.
Age: Quaternary.
