Pavlof Sister is a stratovolcano on the Alaska Peninsula. It is a satellite peak of Mount Pavlof, lying directly northeast. The mountain was named by the USGS in 1929. It is considered dormant, as it last erupted in 1786. USGS has the volcano alert level of Pavlof Sister set to unassigned, meaning the volcano is not currently monitored.
