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

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