What you are looking at
The VNCG camera sits at about 1,200 m (3,930 feet) on Mount Veniaminof, on the Alaska Peninsula, about 6 km (3.5 miles) west of the active cone in its summit caldera, and looks north. The frame shows a dark, steep rock buttress on the right, an ice field and a small dark cone in the middle distance, and the rugged ground of the upper volcano close to the camera.
Veniaminof has an ice-filled summit caldera about 8 km (5 miles) across, with a young cone inside it that has erupted repeatedly, including in 2013, 2018 and 2021. Its eruptions sometimes send lava flows across the summit ice, creating steam, and ash that can reach the nearby village of Perryville. Check the Alaska Volcano Observatory Veniaminof page for the current alert level.
New images arrive about every ten minutes. Clouds and blowing snow are common at this height; clear, cold days give the best views. Summer shows more bare rock, while winter covers everything in white. Tip: this camera is close to the summit, so it is useful for seeing steam or ash near the caldera when distant views are blocked.
