(10) Summit Elevation:	10197 ft (3108 m)
(11) Volcanic Activity Summary:	Seismic activity at Redoubt volcano has increased markedly. This activity could be precursory to an eruption, perhaps within hours to days. There is no indication that the volcano is currently erupting.

(14) Remarks:	Heavily ice-mantled Redoubt volcano is located on the western side of Cook Inlet, 170 km (106 mi) southwest of Anchorage and 82 km (51 mi) west of Kenai, within Lake Clark National Park. Redoubt is a stratovolcano which rises to 10,198 feet above sea level. Recent eruptions occurred in 1902, 1966-68, and 1989-90. The 1989-90 eruption produced mudflows, or lahars, that traveled down the Drift River and partially flooded the Drift River Oil Terminal facility. The ash plumes produced by the 1989-90 eruption affected international air traffic and resulted in minor or trace amounts of ash in the city of Anchorage and other nearby communities.
