Redoubt
Volcano
Information
and
travel
to
Alaska
It's
in
the
news
and
on
people's
mind
as
they
plan
their
Alaska
vacation,
so
we
thought
we
would
answer
some
of
the
most
asked
questions
regarding
how
this
may
affect
your
travel
plans.
1.)
What
if
all
or
part
of
my
vacation
has
to
be
cancelled
due
to
the
volcano?
Cancellations
due
to
Act's
of
God,
weather
or
other
disruptions
that
are
out
of
anyone's
control
are
typically
non-refundable.
We
highly
recommend
buying
travel
insurance
if
this
is
of
concern.
2.)
Where
is
Redoubt
volcano?
Alaska
is
huge
in
relationship
to
all
other
states
in
the
US;
in
fact
Alaska
is
more
than
twice
the
size
of
Texas.
Alaska's
boundaries
from
east
to
west
(including
the
Aleutian
Islands)
would
cover
the
US
map
from
coast
to
coast!
Redoubt
volcano
is
100
miles
from
Anchorage
in
the
remote
Aleutian
Range.
3.)
More
about
Alaskan
Volcanoes
Alaska
lies
along
an
area
called
the
Pacific
Ring
of
Fire.
Volcanoes
circle
the
Pacific
Ocean
from
the
tip
of
South
America,
along
the
west
coast
of
the
U.S.,
through
the
Kamchatka
Peninsula,
down
through
Japan,
Indonesia,
and
the
islands
in
the
South
Pacific.
Most
all
of
Alaska's
volcanoes
are
located
along
the
1,500
mile
Aleutian
Arc
that
extends
westward
to
Kamchatka
and
forms
the
northern
part
of
the
Pacific
Ring
of
Fire.
The
largest
eruption
on
Earth
in
the
20th
Century
occurred
in
Alaska
at
Novarupta
Volcano,
near
Mount
Katmai,
in
June
1912.
The
eruption
created
the
Katmai
Caldera
and
the
Valley
of
Ten
Thousand
Smokes.
We
offer
a
tour
to
Valley
of
10,000
Smokes
with
our
Brooks
Falls
Bear
Viewing
packages.
Major
eruptions
along
the
Aleutian
Arc
occur
almost
every
year.
Due
to
their
remoteness,
though,
the
effects
of
these
eruptions
are
rarely
felt
by
residents.
The
most
common
disruption
is
the
rerouting
or
cancellation
of
air
flights
in
and
around
the
area
effected
by
the
eruption
due
to
the
resulting
ash
clouds
in
the
upper
atmosphere.
4.)
Are
there
tours
offered
to
Mt.
Redoubt?
Yes.
We
offer
a
Ring
of
Fire
-
Volcano
Flight
Seeing
tour
from
Homer
year
round.
The
tour
flies
over
the
Aleutian
Range,
and,
depending
on
volcanic
activity,
may
include
Augustine
Volcano,
Douglas
Volcano,
Illiamna
Volcano
and/or
Redoubt
Volcano.
During
the
summer,
we
also
offer
bear
viewing
tours
to
Lake
Clark
National
Park
and
Redoubt
Bay
Lodge,
both
of
which
fly
over
this
region
(but
do
not
get
as
close
to
the
volcanoes).
When
the
volcano
is
dormant,
the
mountain
appears
the
same
as
other
mountains
in
Alaska
-
covered
in
snow
most
of
the
year
-
with
a
crater
in
the
middle.
When
the
volcano
is
active
(as
it
currently
is),
steam
can
be
seen
emitting
from
the
top.
Even
when
Mt.
Redoubt
is
erupting,
though,
it
is
unlikely
that
lava
flow
will
be
seen.
