Pogromni Volcano is a stratovolcano on Unimak Island in the Aleutian Islands. Near it are 5 cinder cones, and a mountain called Pogromni's Sister.
Its name comes from Russian: Погромный = "characterised by violent outbreak", which here probably means volcanic eruption. (Compare Pogrom#Etymology). Pogromni is old and eroded, and historic eruptions attributed to it may have come from nearby Westdahl volcano.
Famous quotes containing the word volcano:
“We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
