Mt Redoubt Activity (Volcano, AK)


Mt Redoubt , an active volcano, has had some increased activity recently. Will try to copy the URL for checking or go to http://www.adn.com/ and check it out. Last August when my granddaughter and I visited AK, there had been some ash spewing from volcanic activity , shutting down the airports up there just prior to our trip (did not affect us). Redoubt is on Cook Inlet, southwest of Anchorage. The warning level is at Orange for now, with some increase in seismic activity in the last day. Hopefully, it will settle down before all of the Iditarod traffic.


When the volcanoes erupt, it causes air quality problems of all types, including for dogs outside.
