I remember Juneau from last year. We were in utter shock down in Texas. I didn't know Alaska got down like that. Not to mention the earthquake of Anchorage, 9.1 on the Richter Scale. But the volcanoes, Lord have mercy!
Alaska is part of what scientists call "The Ring of Fire". Alaska has many dormant, and occasionally active volcanoes. Alaska's better known volcanoes are across Cook Inlet from Anchorage and Kenai. Mt Augustine, Mt Iliamna, Mt. Spur, Mt. Redoubt. In 1992 Mt Spur had a huge eruption and covered Anchorage in an inch of ash. Some areas got a bit more. I was working at the time and watched the ash cloud block out the sunlight. It was summer (August) so we had long daylight hours and it got pitch! We had volcano activity in years prior (Augustine in 1976, 1986, 1994) which left a trace of ash. But never anything like this! Mt. Spur had also erupted in 1953. When volcanoes are erupting, it disrupts air travel.
@@kristenspencer9751 Oh wow! Alaskans never talk about the active volcanoes in their state. Hmm, I wonder is it because they want to keep certain people out? Thank you for the overview. I know a climatologist and geologist, and we have a lot to talk about.
great video very informative
