Glacier-clad Mount Mageik has a broad summit capped by 4 knobs, each of which is a spatter and lava-flow vent. Photo by: Robert McGimsey, USGS 7/29/96. Marking its centennial, we illustrate and document the complex eruptive sequence, which was long misattributed to nearby Mount Katmai, and how its deposits have provided key insights about volcanic and magmatic processes. The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) is a joint program of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAFGI), and the State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (ADGGS). USGS: Volcano Hazards Program - Cascades Volcano Observatory USGS: Volcano Hazards Program Cascades Volcano Observatory - The Impact of the 1912 Novarupta/Katmai Eruption on … Local time: December 05, 2018 0300 AKST (December 05, 2018 1200 UTC) The largest eruption on Earth this century occurred at Novarupta Volcano, Alaska, in June 1912, creating Katmai Caldera and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. The VTTS was formed by ash flows during the 1912 eruption of Novarupta volcano, the Earth's largest eruption of the 20th century. In 2012, round-the-clock seismic and satellite monitoring by Alaska Volcano Observatory ensures that future eruptions won’t surprise us.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) reported that seismic activity has decreased at the volcano over the past several weeks. Such massive eruptions will occur again in southern Alaska, threatening its rapidly growing population. It was so powerful that it drained magma from under another volcano, Mount Katmai, six miles east, causing the summit of Katmai to collapse to form a caldera half a mile deep.

The explosive outburst at Novarupta (Alaska) in June 1912 was the 20th century’s most voluminous volcanic eruption.

Volcanic ash (more than from all other historical eruptions in Alaska combined) devastated areas hundreds of miles away. Novarupta (tiếng Latin: "Mới phun trào'") là một ngọn núi lửa được tạo ra vào năm 1912, nằm trên bán đảo Alaska ở Vườn quốc gia và Khu bảo tồn Katmai, cách Anchorage khoảng 460 km về phía tây nam.
