What you are looking at
The standard RDJH camera 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. It shows Redoubt's upper slopes in close detail: the summit peaks, broad snowfields, crevassed glaciers and the steep north face, which in some frames fill the entire picture.
Redoubt is about 3,100 m (10,200 feet) high and covered in glaciers. During its 2009 eruption, a lava dome grew in the summit crater and explosions sent ash over Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula. The glaciers on the north side, including the Drift Glacier, were partly melted and torn up, and have been changing since. AVO posts Redoubt's alert level on its website.
The image here refreshes about every ten minutes. Clear days show the glacier textures in detail; snow covers almost everything from fall through spring. Morning light falls from the east, while evening light can paint the summit pink. Tip: when it gets dark, switch to the low-light camera from the same site, which can see more in dim conditions.
