Admiralty Island Volcanics consist of a wide range of volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks primarily exposed on Admiralty, Kupreanof, and Kuiu Islands in southeast Alaska and range from rhyolite to basalt, although rhyolite is uncommon. Rhyolite is quartz and feldspar porphyritic, light-gray or light-brown when fresh and buff, white, green, lavender, maroon, or pink where altered; occurs in domes, as dikes up to several meters thick in swarms, or as breccia (Brew and others, 1984; Karl and others, 1999). Dacite found in flows that have large amygdules lined with silicate minerals and abundant inclusions of igneous rock types (Brew and others, 1984). Basalt or andesite flows are dark-gray and less commonly light-gray, grayish-green or red, commonly sparsely porphyritic and often contain phenocrysts of labradorite-bytownite feldspar, augite, and uncommon olivine and hypersthene. Tuff and breccia beds are interlayered with flows in lower part of the sequence. Locally the flows are altered and sheared along major linear features believed to be faults of considerable displacement. In several places sandstone and conglomerate are interbedded with flows and tuff beds at the base (Lathram and others, 1965). Cenotaph Volcanics are found in the Mount Fairweather quadrangle and are andesitic volcanic rocks, volcanic breccia and tuff, siltstone, sandstone, and conglomerate (D.A. Brew, written commun., 1997)
