Ash plume from Redoubt's active lava dome on May 8. As of April 4, 2009, AVO had recorded twenty-six volcanic eruptions and/or explosions at Redoubt volcano, although they singled out nineteen of them as most notable. The AVO refers to an "eruption" as any event which discharges ash into the atmosphere, while adding the term "explosion" for ...

Over the course of the year, the island's 11,000 population was forced to evacuate several times. [92] 3 Mount ...
Volcanic eruptions in the region have been associated with earthquakes and tsunamis, and debris avalanches have resulted in tsunamis also. [8] There was an earthquake of the magnitude of 7.1 on December 31, 1901 generated by an eruption that caused several tsunamis. [9] In 2009 a lahar from Mt. Redoubt threatened the Drift River oil terminal.
