Do you have recollections of Alaskan volcanic eruptions from days gone by? Do you still come across volcanic ash from Augustine, Spurr, or Redoubt in your yard, attic, or garage? Have you ever seen glowing red blobs on the side of a distant volcano, while on a trans-subarctic journey? We would love to hear your story.

I fished Cook Inlet/Kamishak area from 1973 to 1979. I was in Kamishak Bay when the 1976 eruption happened. Extreme luck - my boat (MV-Helen-B) was not damaged and no one was hurt. Was a terrifying experience though. So was the Earthquake in 1964. I was at Elmendorf AFB then.

Love this site. I love Geology. Thank you for providing it.
