Volcano to erupt soon in AK. Click second square for more (The Free Dictionary). Two other mts with same name are in Banff and WA.

Yikes! Skipvia, you okay up there??
P.S. I'm coming to your state in June. :-)

I've actually seen Redoubt erupt twice before. It's a spectacular sight--not much in the way of lava, but enormous quantities of steam and ash.
It's near Anchorage, and the ash plume usually results in the ceasing of all air traffic to most of Alaska since most of it goes through there. I've seen two other eruptions from volcanoes near Redoubt--Spurr and St. Augustine.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory keeps pretty close tabs on imminent eruptions. It's a fun site to monitor.

I'm scheduled to fly into Anchorage a week today, and out again (way up to the north in the Arctic Circle) the day after. What I want to know is, if Redoubt pops after I leave Anchorage, will the ash have cleared enough for me to fly back from the arctic 10 days later?

You never know, Yarb. There are flights to the lower 48 that originate in Fairbanks (too far north for most ash clouds) so you might be rebooked.
I've just got to know what you'll be doing that far north. It's...ummm...winter up there.
But hey--if you get rerouted to Fairbanks, let me know.

yarb commented on the word mount redoubt
Will do. I didn't know you could fly to the lower 48 from Fairbanks. The company I work for has a large operation, with its own airstrip, not far from Kotzebue, about 30 miles inland. I don't know if they would fly us out via Fairbanks in the event of Anchorage being ashed-out, or just leave us there 'til the plume dissipated - I suspect the latter. We have a smaller operation in the vicinity of Fairbanks, too, but I don't know if I'll ever be called upon to go there. I'm looking forward to this trip - I've been to AK before but not beyond Anchorage.

skipvia commented on the word mount redoubt
All is well, but I'm glad I don't have to fly anywhere today. Planes are grounded because of the ash cloud.
If we get any ashfall, (unlikely this far north) I'll try and collect some for you.
EDIT: Some good hi-res images here.

Do you say Mount Re-doubt or Mount reh-Doubt?
March 30, 2009

Locally it's pronounced REE doubt.

skipvia commented on the word mount redoubt
No fair rethinking your trip, reesetee. I've already made reservations at Skinny Dick's.
March 30, 2009
reesetee commented on the word mount redoubt
Oh, right! Well in that case, let Redoubt blow!
Wait. This place takes reservations??

You really pronounce it like readout?

I do.

"Readout" is correct, yarb.
C_B: Bears of any stripe (or no stripe) can always find a home in Alaska.
Reesetee: If a place requires reservations, I usually don't go there. Skinny Dick's is not such a place.

Here in Yorkshire The Redoubt pub is pronounced 'Tha Ridout'.
March 31, 2009
yarb commented on the word mount redoubt
Right, gangerh. I've always pronounced the word with emphasis on the second syllable. As in redoubtable. I guess this is a US/UK thing.
