| This peak is #8 in Prominence List for Alaska . An active, glaciated volcano located in Lake Clark National Park. at the head of Redoubt Creek on the west side of Cook Inlet. It's part of the Chigmit Mountains. Mount Redoubt has had several recorded eruptions, the most recent in March 2009. On December 15, 1989 a KLM Boeing 747 airliner on a flight from Amsterdam to Anchorage flew right through the volcanic ash emitted by Mount Redoubt. Ash sucked into the turbines caused all four engines as well as the standby electrical generator to shut down. The pilot glided the plane down to an elevation below the ash cloud and then managed to restart all engines. The plane landed safely but there was extensive damage to the turbines. | | Trip Reports Subject Trips | Subject Photos View Thumbnails
