Visitors to Mount Katmai Face Great Risk
Dispatch from Kodiak reports Katmai volcano eruptions create ongoing danger for tourists. Advanced floods of ash and pumice, landslides, and explosive ejecta threaten the area as observers note the eruption’s massive scale. The canyon fills with ash, a lake forms, and cold bay is buried under pumice flows complicating travel and crossing. Local natives call Katmai “the smoke” while scientists warn eruptions surge when vents are buried and pressure builds.
