And eventually down as well. Do they still call it glissading if it's on lava? Don't forget your axe...

More news articles about the impending eruption of Redoubt. The web cams seem to all be back on like again. This was the image from the Redoubt-CI cam a few minutes ago. Hopefully the orange glow just continues to be the sunset...

The temperature reading on this is strange. Current Anchorage temp is +5F.

No, the temperature is correct. There are palm trees in that part of AK.

I'm guessing that is the temperature inside the camera housing.
