What you are looking at
The EDNW camera sits at about 365 m (1,200 feet) on the northwest flank of Mount Edgecumbe, on Kruzof Island near Sitka in Southeast Alaska, roughly 2 km (1 mile) from the summit. It looks southeast across a boggy muskeg meadow with stunted spruce trees and a GPS antenna toward the upper cone, where the reddish rim of the summit crater shows when the clouds lift.
Edgecumbe is a stratovolcano that has not erupted in many centuries. In 2022, AVO announced that satellite data showed the ground nearby had been rising since 2018, along with an earthquake swarm, likely because magma was moving at depth. That led to new monitoring, including this camera. The Alaska Volcano Observatory Edgecumbe page lists the current alert level.
A fresh frame appears here about every ten minutes. This is a rainy coastal rainforest climate, so raindrops on the lens and low clouds are common. Summer brings green muskeg and long days, fall turns it orange and brown, and winter can dust the cone with snow. Tip: on clear days, Edgecumbe is also a landmark visible from Sitka's waterfront.
