The Mount Martin is a 2165 m high stratovolcano of the Aleutian Range on the Alaska Peninsula . It belongs to Katmai National Park and borders the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes in the south.
There are no confirmed records of historical eruptions . A possible 1946 eruption is now being questioned. The most recent volcanic deposits come from the Holocene . Sulfur-containing volcanic exhalations in the form of fumaroles can now be found on a young crater on the northeastern flank .
The volcano is covered in volcanic ash that came from the eruptions of Novarupta (1912) and Mount Trident (1953).
