Map showing volcanoes of Alaska Peninsula. Katmai caldera before and after surveys of 1908 and 1951. Mount Katmai is one of five vents encircling the Novarupta volcano, source of the VEI 6 eruption and associated voluminous pyroclastic flows in 1912. Katmai consists chiefly of lava flows, pyroclastic rocks, and non-welded to agglutinated air fall.
