From the last frontier of the USA - "The great state of Alaska."

May 2002.

Alaska and an event that rocked the world.

In the katmai valley of the area around kodiak, in the summer of 1912 occurred an eruption ten times the size of the eruption of mount saint Helen's. The force and magnitude of this event was so incredible, it caused a mountain to disappear and another to rise within a matter of minutes. The name "ten thousand smokes" is attributed to the smoke coming from the areas of this event. the URL listed here will allow the user to read and see the research that has been done on this event.
