Place your vote (right) for the top 7 Alaska Natural Wonders. This is my fifth pick out of seven, more to follow.
Mt. Augustine, volcanic island off the coast of the Alaska Peninsula. Incandescence lava flows on the North and North east flank.
Alaska contains over 130 volcanoes and is home to over three-quarters of the U.S. volcanoes that have erupted in the last 200 years, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory. They are predominantly situated along the Aleutian Arc, part of the northern portion of the Pacific “ring of fire”. The picture above was taken from about 75 miles away, looking west across the Cook Inlet.
