What you are looking at
This AVO camera, known as AU22 or the Mound camera, sits on the east side of Augustine Island, about 4 km (2.5 miles) from the summit. It looks west-southwest across a flat, dark apron of old volcanic deposits to the classic, nearly symmetrical cone of Augustine, which in winter and spring is covered in snow from base to peak.
Augustine has erupted many times in historical times, including in 1883, 1976, 1986 and 2006. Each eruption added new domes and flows and sent debris down its flanks, so the shape of the summit changes from one eruption to the next. The island is uninhabited, and AVO watches it with seismometers, GPS and cameras like this one. Its alert level is posted on the Alaska Volcano Observatory Augustine page.
The image here refreshes about every ten minutes. This view often gives the clearest picture of the whole cone, with low winter sun casting long shadows down its gullies. Snow melts back in summer to reveal gray rock and ash. Tip: on cold, clear days look for a thin steam plume drifting from the summit dome.
