Active for millennia, Mount Redoubt has erupted four times since it was first observed: in 1902, 1966, 1989 and 2009, with two questionable eruptions in 1881 and 1933. [6] The eruption in 1989 spewed volcanic ash to a height of 45,000 ft (13,700 m). It caught KLM Flight 867, a Boeing 747 aircraft, in its plume.

Puff was initially conceived and developed by Prof. H. Tanaka as a novel method for simulating ash cloud trajectories during the eruption of Mt. Redoubt, 1989. Dr. Craig Searcy rewrote and modified the Puff code in C++, and created the initial GUI so the program could be used operationally for volcano monitoring in the early and mid-1990s.
A wide variety of recreational activities may be pursued in the park and preserve year-round. The park protects rainforests along the coastline of Cook Inlet, alpine tundra, glaciers, glacial lakes, major salmon-bearing rivers, and two volcanoes, Mount Redoubt and Mount Iliamna. Mount Redoubt is active, erupting in 1989 and 2009.
In 1989, KLM Flight 867 was a flight from Amsterdam to Tokyo via Anchorage. On descent into Anchorage, the aircraft was descending through 24,000 feet (7,300 m) and the 747-400 encountered the ash cloud from Mount Redoubt and all four engines failed. At 13,000 feet (4,000 m), the two left engines restarted and at 11,000 feet (3,400 m), the two ...
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 ...
On December 15, 1989, KLM Flight 867 entered a volcanic ash cloud after takeoff, created by an eruption from nearby Mount Redoubt. The flight suffered a complete loss of engine power and returned to make an emergency landing at Anchorage.
