What you are looking at
This CAHL camera sits at about 810 m (2,650 feet) on a ridge south of the volcanoes of Katmai National Park, about 13 km (8 miles) south of Mount Martin. It looks north across green, rolling ridges to a line of snowy peaks, including Mount Martin and Mount Mageik, with the rocky top of the camera's own ridge in the foreground.
The Katmai area holds a chain of volcanoes on the Alaska Peninsula, including Martin, Mageik, Trident, Novarupta and Katmai. In 1912, Novarupta produced the largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century, creating the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. Martin and Mageik both have active fumaroles, and Martin often shows a small steam plume. Check AVO's Katmai-area pages for current alert levels.
The snapshot updates about every ten minutes. Summer brings green slopes and long days; in winter, the whole scene turns white and days are short. Clouds often build over the peaks by afternoon. Tip: watch for a small steam plume from Mount Martin's summit crater on cold, calm mornings.
