What you are looking at
The VNSG camera sits at about 760 m (2,500 feet) on the Alaska Peninsula, about 21 km (13 miles) east-southeast of Mount Veniaminof, and looks west-northwest. On clear days the frame shows the volcano's broad, flat, ice-covered summit stretching across the horizon above rolling foothills, with a braided river and its gravel bars in the valley below and a radio antenna in the foreground.
Veniaminof is one of the largest volcanoes in the Aleutian arc and holds a huge ice-filled caldera. Its small intracaldera cone has erupted many times, including in 2013, 2018 and 2021, sometimes with lava that melts the surrounding ice. Seen from here, eruptions show as plumes rising from the middle of the ice field. The Alaska Volcano Observatory Veniaminof page lists the current alert level.
The image here refreshes about every ten minutes. Sunrise from behind the camera often lights the ice pink or gold, while cloud banks frequently lie over the summit. The river valley changes color through the seasons. Tip: for a closer look, switch to the VNCG camera on the volcano's upper slopes.
