RE: Akutan Volcano

Hi Cheryl... we are going to be there on August 7th and leave on August 9th. We have flights/heli from SEA->ANC->DUT->Akun->Akutan booked already. So we could be given anything at any of those stops. I did notice that the existing webcam was waaaay out east on the south part of the island and that would be the one place we probably couldn't get to due to time+distance. Our plan is to hike out the west side of the bay, down over the saddle to the hot springs bay lowland, then traverse south-west up the valley to the sloping approach of to the east side of the crater. With technology these days, I'm assuming that we might be able to pack a fairly compact setup of a webcam, battery solar panel and housings to get something working if it will be all satellite or cell. Thanks!
