Located at the head of the Chigmit Mountains subrange in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve , the mountain is just west of Cook Inlet , in the Kenai Peninsula Borough about 110 ...
Redoubt is a steep-sided stratovolcano located at the northeast end of the Aleutian volcanic arc. It is potentially one of the most dangerous volcanoes in Alaska. Built above the Aleutian subduction zone over the last 890,000 years, Redoubt is now heavily glaciated and boasts an ice-filled summit crater.
Redoubt Volcano rises to a dramatic 10,197 feet from nearby sea level. This stratovolcano is at the head of the Chigmit Mountains within Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. There have been eruptions in 1902, 1966, 1989-1990 and most recently in 2009.
This 10,197-foot massif about 110 miles southwest of Anchorage and 50 miles west of Kenai is one of the most active volcanoes in Alaska. A 1989-90 series of eruptions caused more than $160 million in damages and lost revenue, the second most costly eruption in U.S. history.

Redoubt Volcano, an ice-covered stratovolcano on the west side of Cook Inlet, erupted in March 2009 after several months of escalating unrest. The 2009 eruption of Redoubt Volcano shares many similarities with eruptions documented most recently at Redoubt in 1966–68 and 1989–90.
Redoubt is one of the easternmost stratovolcanoes in the Aleutian arc. Redoubt is about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage in the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. The volcano began erupting high-silica andesite to dacite about 900,000 years ago. Most eruptions were explosive.
Redoubt Volcano, located on the west side of Cook Inlet in south-central Alaska, erupted explosively on over 20 separate occasions between December 14, 1989 and April 21, 1990. Fourteen lava domes were emplaced in the summit area, thirteen of which were subsequently destroyed.
