Volcano Discovered
* at Head Aniakchak
River hy Explorers
Explorers have discovered a volcano
of considerable scientific interest at
the head of Akiakchak river, about
30 miles west of the bay of that
name. The crater of this remarkable
volcano is somewhat similar in size
and shape to that of Crater Lake,
Ore., but differs in having a compaf
aftvely small body of water on its
floor. The rim is circular in outline
and has a diameter of six miles. The
mountain summit that forms the
range is from a thousand to 1500
feet above the bottom of the crater,
and are unbroken, except the gorge
from which Aniakchak river flows.
Within the large crater a cinder
cone rises 1000 feet above the gen
eral level of the floor, and can be
seen from the mountain tops north
east of the river. The smaller cones
also occur in the crater.
A lake on the northwest side has
an area of about two square miles,
and is most beautiful, varying in
color from greens to orange, but is
of slight dqpth. In places the wall
of the crater is verical, in others
small glaciers arc forming. The bot
tom of the crater is filled with coarse
black ,gray and red cinders which
form serpentine ridges around t he
base of the large cone. The crater
can be entered through a gorge on
the southwest side of the river, but
the river itself is too turbulent to be
waded in safety.
Amo i cmai ivauiy crater was
found last August by W. R. Smith
and Sidney Old, who went into the
crater but found walking very diffi
cult, the summit of the cone not be
ing reached on account of darkness.
The party’s camp was six miles from
the gate to the crater and they did
not visit it again. The mountain was
named Akiakchak after the river
heading within its walls.
Mount Chiginagak, an active vol
cano in the region southwest of
Wide Bay, at the head of Chiginagak
Bay, is also a volcano very little
known. It lies closer to the ocean
than any of the known volcanoes, but
is rarely visited. The mountain rises
7,000 feet, the upper 4,000 feet being
covered with snow and ice. A thous
and feet from the top is a large
white plume of vapor, and sulphur
ous fumes rise from numerous fum
eroles in the center of a snow field.
Alaska has been little explored and
there may be yet mountain peaks
discovered as high as Mt. McKinley
and volcanoes larger than Katmai. It
is known that many large lakes,
some half as large as lake Erie are
to be found in remote spots in the
Interior, but the country has not
been surveyed and therefore these
large bodies of water are not on the
map. • —
Duke Stubbs, formerly stationed
at Kolmakofsky, tells of a lake over
(>0 miles across and twice as long in
that district; the waters having a
fish peculiar alone to this section.
The fish are golden in hue, as large
as a rainbow trout, and have a giz
zard, joined to the mouth by a four
inch gullet. He declares he ate these
gizzards which were as delicious as
those of a chicken.
Bishop I. O. Stringer and wife,
