History of Mount Veniaminof

Constantin Grewingk in 1849 wrote "We have named this point on our maps 'Vilkam Wenjaimow.'" Named in honor of Father Ioann (Ivan Popov) Veniaminov, 1797-1879, Russian Orthodox missionary priest, Bishop of Russian American, and Metropoltian of Moscow, whose writings on Aleut language and Ethnology are still standard references. The name "Veniaminof Crater" is shown on a 1927 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) map, presumably intended to apply only ot the volcano's crater.
