Hello Richard - You can see the city of Akutan lights in the webcam, and I would guess that the lights that sometimes appear closer are boats in the bay. Thank you, Cheryl -------- Richard Parker wrote: I've noticed that Akutan AKSD has an area that seems to have lights in the watery area. Sometimes, there is an item floating near the shore closest to the camera that also has these "lights". What is causing the light? It's beautiful at night. Thanks for your time. I enjoy looking at the pics of the volcanoes. -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
