What you are looking at
The KAB2 camera sits at about 910 m (2,980 feet) in Katmai National Park, southeast of the main volcanic chain, and looks northwest. On clear days the frame shows a broad, snowy massif and a row of peaks from the Trident and Mageik area, with a snow slope in the foreground and a deep valley leading toward the volcanoes.
Trident, a group of four peaks, erupted from 1953 to 1974, building a new cone on its flank; Mageik has a summit crater with active fumaroles. Both sit near Novarupta, the site of the huge 1912 eruption that created the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. AVO monitors this cluster closely. For the current alert levels, see the Alaska Volcano Observatory pages for the Katmai volcanoes.
New images arrive about every ten minutes. Low morning and evening sun gives these snowy peaks the most shape and color. Clouds often cap the volcanoes, and winter brings short days. Tip: compare with the KABU and KAKN cameras to see the same volcanoes from the north and west.
