Too bad I can't as of yet find a good image of any nearby volcanoes on that volcanic arc close enough to the epicenter. (Stll looking though.)"
Here ya go.
Some pictures of Aleutian volcanoes
Thanks.
I'm looking for the ones that make up Rat Island.
They may be unnamed, or the page at the Alaskan Volcano Observatory may not mention the island name, just the Volcano name.
So far: Shemya and Adak islands are nearby.
Mt. Adagdak volcano and Mt. Moffett on the north end of Adak island.
And, unsurprisingly, no images of Shemya or the volcanoes there show up on AVO.

Akutan shows up as being in the Rat Islands as well.
So, quakes are likely of crustal plate movement instead of volcanic activity as was near the Davidson Seamount awhile back.
Thanks for the link
What absulutely beautiful pics.
More so is you love geological formations.
