National Geographic (October 10, 2024): Explore Katmai, a land reborn from volcanic ash, and observe the vivid lives of bears, salmon, plovers and coastal wolves that call it home.
Katmai National Park and Preserve is on a peninsula in southern Alaska. Its wild landscapes span tundra, forests, lakes and mountains. The park is known for the many brown bears that are drawn to the abundant salmon in Brooks Falls. Lookout platforms at adjacent Brooks Camp offer close-up views of the bears. The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes is an area of lava flows and ash formed by a massive volcanic eruption.
