7:32 PM LOCAL TIMEMount Redoubt (also called Redoubt Peak) is a high, symmetrical volcano on the southern edge of the Cook Inlet region, approximately 110 kilometers southwest of Anchorage and near the northern reaches of the Kenai Peninsula. Its summit rises to about 3,460 meters (11,377 feet) and is often cloaked in snow and glaciers, with a large crater and multiple flank vents. Redoubt is a restless and historically active volcano; eruptions have produced ash plumes, pyroclastic flows, and lahars that have affected nearby valleys and air traffic. Most activity has occurred in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with the most recent phases of unrest frequently monitored via satellite and ground-based seismic alerts. The volcano’s remote surrounds support tundra, glacier remnants, and sparse subalpine vegetation; access is typically by helicopter or emergency routes, and safety depends on current eruption status and weather. Visitors interested in volcanic geology, remote alpine scenery, or eruption alerts should check current USGS and AVO notices before planning visits or photography outings.
