TodayUs Katmai National Park was the site of the centur-
yUs largestJvolcanic eruption (Novarupta, 1912) which formed the
Valley of 10J000JSmokes, so named because of its many fumaroles.
However, the Pinatubo eruption rivals the 1912 Novarupta eruption
in size. Nevertheless, large glacial valleys are still filled
with the pyroclastic material from that eruption 80 years ago.
This scene shows the large Novarupta crater, from which
the Valley of 10J000 Smokes descends into the background. The
snow hides most of the ash-covered area. Further to the north is
Augustine Island, a volcano which has been fairly active over the
past 5 years (its ash emissions have closed Anchorage airport
several times).
