Volcano: Augustine (see Augustine at the Smithsonian Institution website in a new tab)
Type: Volcanic Plume
Description: Augustine volcano, rising above Kamishak Bay in the southern Cook Inlet about 290 km SW of Anchorage, is the most active volcano of the eastern Aleutian arc. It consists of a complex of overlapping summit lava domes surrounded by an apron of volcaniclastic debris that descends to the sea on all sides. Despite its relative calm, Augustine was selected as one of Alaska's potentially most hazardous volcanoes,
