Iliamna Volcano

Mount Iliamna is a glacier-covered volcano in the largely volcanic Aleutian Range in southwest Alaska. Located in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, the volcano lies approximately 134 miles southwest of Anchorage on the west side of lower Cook Inlet. Radiocarbon dating seems to indicate at least a few eruptions, all before the European settlement of Alaska. However, fumaroles located at about 8,990 feet (2,740 m) elevation on the eastern flank produce nearly constant plumes of condensate and minor amounts of sulfurous gases. These plumes are quite vigorous and have resulted in numerous pilot reports and early historical accounts of "eruptions" at Iliamna Volcano.

  • We had all of our gear loaded and were about to take off when our photo leader told our pilot that he had heard that planes couldn't land at the lodge earlier in the day. A good thing our pilot checked because the area was fogged in and we wouldn't have been able to land. No instrument landings. If the pilot can't see the ground, he can't land. We wound up unloading and spending another day and night in Anchorage. Typical in Alaska.
