Novarupta

Novarupta is a volcanic vent in Alaska that erupted violently in 1912, producing one of the largest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century. The eruption released immense ash, lava, and gases, reshaping the landscape and creating a large dome-shaped feature called Novarupta. This event is part of the Katmai volcanic area and significantly impacted nearby regions with ash fallout and landscape changes. Today, Novarupta remains active but quiet, serving as an important site for scientific study of volcanic processes and showcasing the power of natural geological forces.
