Mount Redoubt live camera — Alaska
A 3,108 m cone. Its ice-filled summit crater is breached to the north, and the Drift Glacier flows out through the gap.
Sample September 2026What you are looking at
A cone-shaped volcano 3,108 metres high, standing on the west side of Cook Inlet in Alaska. Its ice-filled summit crater opens to the north, and the Drift Glacier flows out of it.
During the eruption of December 1989, a jumbo jet flew into the ash cloud and all four of its engines stopped. They were restarted during a descent of some 4,000 metres and the aircraft landed, but that single incident is what put volcanic ash monitoring on air routes onto a serious footing. It erupted again in 2009. Because the crater holds ice, an eruption melts it and sends mudflows down the valley. The mountain is large enough to be seen from Anchorage across the inlet.
The mudflows run down the Drift River, and at its mouth stands an oil loading terminal. In both the 1989 and the 2009 eruptions the flows reached it; the staff were taken out, and earth was banked around the tanks. The meltwater has only one route off the mountain, so which ground is at risk is known in advance.
Alaska time, seventeen to eighteen hours behind Japan; around five in the morning in Japan is local midday. It stays dim even at noon in winter. As a still image, nothing shows in the dark hours.
