This was actually from Misty Fjords National Monument in Alaska. My sisters and I took our Dad on an Alaska cruise. From Ketchikan we took a sea plane excursion into Misty Fjords. It was amazing!
Sincerely,
Katmai National Park & Preserve
President Woodrow Wilson established Katmai National Monument in 1918 to preserve the "Valley of 10,000 Smokes," so named when the Novarupta Volcano filled the valley with a 100- to 700-foot-deep ash flow.
State(s): Alaska
