Re: Visible Volcanos from Homer, AK
Hi Brian - Sure, if you send us a photo, we'll try to figure out which peaks are in it, no problem. Thanks! -Cheryl Cameron -------- Brian Moore wrote: My family and took a road trip from Soldotna down to Homer, AK on Saturday, June 6, 2015. During our time on the Homer Spit we were fortunate to see Mt. Augustine, Mt. Douglas, Mt. Fourpeaked and another mountain peak to the west of Douglas and Fourpeaked that I had never seen before and still am not certain of. In researching this further, I discovered that we were able to see these three peaks as a result of a phenomenon known as a Towering Superior Mirage. It was an awesome thing for our family and friends to see and is something we have been talking about ever since. I was able to take photographs of all 4 mountains (Augustine, Douglas, Fourpeaked and the “unknown one”). In looking at your website and others that provide information and photos regarding the Aleutian mountain range, I’ve narrowed it down to 4 possible options. I believe this “unknown” peak to be either Mt. Kagyuyak, Mt. Devils Desk, Mt. Katmai or Mt. Griggs. I was wondering, if I forwarded you some of the photos I took, would you be able to possibly help me determine which mountain peak it was? I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.
