What you are looking at
This low-light camera at the RDJH site sits high on a ridge at about 1,410 m (4,640 feet), about 12 km (7.5 miles) north of Redoubt Volcano, and looks south-southeast at the mountain. On clear days, the frame shows Redoubt's broad, glacier-covered summit and steep north face above dark rock slopes; the camera is designed to see more in dim light, so it is especially useful at dawn, dusk and on long winter nights.
Redoubt is a large stratovolcano on the west side of Cook Inlet, about 170 km (110 miles) southwest of Anchorage. Its eruptions in 1989 and 1990 and again in 2009 sent ash clouds over south-central Alaska, and in 1989 a jetliner lost all four engines in its ash before restarting them. Check the Alaska Volcano Observatory Redoubt page for the current alert level.
A fresh frame appears here about every ten minutes. Low-light sensors can reveal faint glow from hot rock or steam lit by moonlight that ordinary cameras miss. In summer, nights are short and twilight bright. Tip: compare with the regular RDJH camera from the same site to see how much more this one shows in darkness.
