Mt. Pavlof is really smoking now!

Flying from Nelson Lagoon to Cold Bay, Pavlof is on fire!

I flew from Nelson Lagoon to Cold Bay on Saturday, May 31st.  The night before after dark, I saw the glow of lava coming from Pavlof Volcano.  My pilot for this trip asked if it was ok if we flew close to the volcano to check out the activity.  I was excited and readied my camera.  It's always a challenge taking photos from inside a plane so the quality isn't always the best but I still got some pretty cool shots.  Thanks Jad for the epic flight.

 

Leaving Nelson Lagoon, Jad circled the village to allow me to get some pretty cool shots.

Later in the evening I went for a walk down to the Ferry dock
