'''Mount Dutton''' is a [stratovolcano](/source/stratovolcano) in the [Aleutian Range](/source/Aleutian_Range) of the [U.S. state](/source/U.S._state) of [Alaska](/source/Alaska), on the [Alaska Peninsula](/source/Alaska_Peninsula).

== Geography ==
Dutton lies just short of {{convert|9|mi|km|0|sp=us}} from [King Cove](/source/King_Cove), a fishing headquarters for the locality.<ref name="gvp">{{cite gvp|vn=312011|title=Dutton|publisher=[Smithsonian Institution](/source/Smithsonian_Institution)|work=[Global Volcanism Program](/source/Global_Volcanism_Program)|accessdate=April 17, 2011}}</ref>

== Geologic activity ==
thumb|left|Map showing volcanoes of Alaska Peninsula.
Dutton is a highly [glaciated](/source/glacier) volcano. Its summit is composed of a series of [lava dome](/source/lava_dome)s which form a [complex](/source/complex_volcano) [stratovolcano](/source/stratovolcano). The mountain's recent history is marked by at least avalanche which removed [andesitic](/source/andesite) lava flows and several lava domes from the flank of its body and swiftly cascaded westward and southward towards [Belkofski Bay](/source/Belkofski_Bay).<ref name="gvp"/>

Between 1984 and 1985, a series of [earthquake swarm](/source/earthquake_swarm)s took place in the volcano's vicinity. Another swarm took place in the summer of 1988.<ref name="gvp"/>
