Redoubt 1881
Start: 1881 [1]
Event Type: Explosive
- "Smoke" [1]
- "Fire", "Glowing", or incandescence [1]
- Lava flow [1]
Description: From Cordeiro (1910): "To the eastward, Redoubt Volcano, 11,060 feet high, is constantly smoking, with periods of exaggerated activity. Fire has been seen issuing from its summit far out at sea. A great eruption took place in 1881, when a party of native hunters half-way up its slopes were overwhelmed by a lava-flow and only two escaped." This account is not mentioned in other eruption compilations.
Impact: "A party of native hunters half-way up [Redoubt] were overwhelmed by a lava-flow and only two escaped" (Cordiero, 1910). If true, this statement implies that some lives were lost in this possible eruption. [1]
