Wall of Volcanic Ash Exposed by Erosion Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes Katmai National Park Alaska


The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes is a valley within Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska which is filled with ash flow from the eruption of Novarupta on June 6–8, 1912. Following the eruption, thousands of fumaroles vented steam from the ash. The ash-filled valley covers a 40-square-miles and is up to 700 feet (210 m) deep.
