About Melville
Melville Peak is an eroded stratovolcano on NE King George Island with a summit crater. No radiocarbon dates are available, but an ash layer found 30 km away in a NE Bransfield Strait marine sediment core with compositional similarity to Melville Peak suggests possible Holocene activity within the past few thousand years.
