The 2009 eruptions of Mount Redoubt renewed concerns over the safety of the nearby tank farm which holds crude oil, known as the Drift River Terminal Facility. [3] During the earlier, 1989–90 eruptions of Redoubt, the facility was inundated and damaged by lahars.
Redoubt volcano in eruption. Redoubt is the park's active volcano. 10,197 feet (3,108 m) high, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) in diameter and with a volume of about 30 to 35 cubic kilometers, the stratovolcano rises through the Chigmit batholith. It has a 1.8-kilometre (1.1 mi) wide summit crater.
English: Picture of Mount Redoubt eruption. Ascending eruption cloud from Redoubt Volcano as viewed to the west from the Kenai Peninsula. The mushroom-shaped plume rose from avalanches of hot debris (pyroclastic flows) thhh jbhat cascaded down the north flank of the volcano. A smaller, white steam plume rises from the summit crater.
The most recent eruptions began after an increase in earthquake activity, according to the USGS. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory detected the eruption through webcam images of the summit caldera ...
The tank farm's location has been controversial since the 1989/1990 eruption of Mount Redoubt, when the facility was flooded by lahars. [1] Concerns were renewed during the 2009 eruptions of Redoubt. [2] Dikes built after the 89/90 eruptions have kept the 2009 flooding away from the tanks, but an adjacent aircraft hangar and runway were damaged ...
An eruption as large as Mount Pinatubo in 1991 could certainly cool the planet for a few years, though it wouldn’t be able to erase the Earth’s current climate woes caused by planet-warming ...
