Hi Robert -- we have received a couple of other reports about Chiginagak steaming on Christmas day, from people in Ugashik. You can send the photos to Janet directly, her address is janet.schaefer@alaska.gov Thanks! -Seth -------- Robert Dreeszen wrote: Greetings: My bride and I live year round at our home on the outlet of Lower Ugashik Lake which is approximately 30 miles south of Mt Chiginagak. On Christmas morning there was an above average amount of steam/smoke from vent on the SE flank. It was partially obscured by clouds from our vantage point but persons in Ugashik Villae reported a dark smoke at sunrise turning to lighter steam color by miday.It has been overcast since. I have photo if you can provide me with an email address to send it to. In the past I have sent photos to Janet Schaffer but can't find her email address.
