1912 Katmai Eruption Provided Volcanology Research Boon
In June of 1912, a 3-day explosive eruption at Novarupta on the Alaska Peninsula near King Salmon produced the largest eruption of the 20th century. It created the spectacular Katmai caldera and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, which early explorers called the eighth wonder of the world. Preserved as a National Monument in 1918, and now part of Katmai National Park, the eruption created an outdoor laboratory that has captivated scientists and sightseers alike for 100 years. To commemorate this significant century old eruption, the USGS Volcano Hazards Program along with many Alaskan partner agencies will be holding several events throughout the spring and summer. To learn more, check out the Katmai information and events in the NEWS section of the AVO website.USGS California Volcano Observatory Opens
The Volcano Hazards Program is excited to announce the establishment of the USGS California Volcano Observatory (CalVO), which expands and replaces the former Long Valley Observatory. A newly designed CalVO website includes information about the new Observatory and all the volcanoes it monitors.
