What you are looking at
The RDDF camera stands at about 1,130 m (3,720 feet) north of Redoubt Volcano, about 12 km (7.5 miles) from the summit, and looks south-southwest at the mountain. On clear days, the frame shows Redoubt's jagged, glacier-covered summit and the steep north face falling toward the Drift River valley, with dark rock ridges and snowfields in the foreground.
Redoubt's north side drains into the Drift River, which carried large lahars during the 1989 to 1990 and 2009 eruptions, when hot material melted ice on the volcano. Those lahars threatened an oil terminal near the river's mouth on Cook Inlet. Watching this side of the volcano helps AVO track any changes in the summit crater and glaciers. AVO's Redoubt page carries the latest alert level and notes.
New images arrive about every ten minutes. Low winter sun and clear evenings can light the summit in pink and orange, while summer shows more bare rock. Clouds often wrap the peak by afternoon. Tip: a steam plume from the summit crater is common on cold days and usually does not signal an eruption.
