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.
