Katmai Volcano
a World Wonder
Say Scientists
KODIAK, Sept. 10.—After a five
weeks’ trip the National Geographic
Society’s expedition to Katmai volca
no, under Prof. F. Griggs, report that
the great crater is one of the world's
present-day wonders, being miles
across and thousands of feat deep.
Visits to the crater were made on
July 19th and again on July 30th, and
the main crater examined for the first
time.
Other volcanoes of the group have
been represented in former reports as
the Katmai crater, but they do not
compare to the real crater which was
visited this time.
“The second visit was made on a
clear day when the crater could be
studied more in detail,” said Professor
Griggs. “The ascent required many
hours of hard climbing, over ash and
pumice covered slopes, snow fields,
glacier ice, mud and drainage ditches,
but the party feels fully repaid for the
strenuous task.
“The walls of the crater are such
that one can stand at the very rim
and observe the sulphur patches,
steam jets and hissing crevices which
suggests, as Walter Metroken, native
Russian packer with a party, express
ed, ‘A Hell of a place.’ One feature of
contrast is the partial crater wall
formation of glacier ice and the snow
patches near the steaming lake. A
large part of the crater wall is com
posed of igneous rock of various and
brilliant colors.
“The crater, as also the simmering,
blue-green lake at the bottom of it,
must be measured in miles and the
depth in thousands of feet.”
Professor Robert F. Griggs, associ
ate professor of botany in the Univer
sity of Ohio, Columbus, visited the
ash-covered district in the vicinity of
Katmai in July, 1915, to study for the
National Geographic magazine the
process of revegetation, and is this
year making his second visit for that
magazine.
Professor Griggs was accompanied
last year by Bentley B. Fulton, ento
mologist of Geneva, N. Y., as photog
rapher, and by Lucius G. Folsom, prin
cipal of Longwood school, Kodiak. He
was assisted in the work this year al
so by Mr. Folsom and by Donovan
Church, student of Columbus, as pho
tographer. This party has had many
interesting and difficult problems to
meet and experiences with swift-flow
ing Alaska streams and treacherous
mountain glaciers. They have also
made many discoveries and observa
tions important to science, complete
records of which will appear in due
time in the National Geographic mag
azine.
I
Prof. Griggs is enthusiastically de
voted to science, and emphasizes the
scientific rather than the popular side
of such exploration. He finds here ab
sorbing studies in various branches of
science other than botany, afforded by
conditions existing nowhere in the
world and is well equipped by study
and experience as a general scientist,
having made trips for investigation to
Guatemala and Porto Rico.
The tremendous size of this crater,
the great mass and variety of mate
rial ejected from it, the almost total
destruction of vegetable and animal
life, together with the other volcanoes
of the group, and other remarkable
eruptive demonstrations discovered,
explored and studied by the Griggs
party, are fully worthy of all the at
tention the National Geographic asso
ciation can give them.
