The valley of the 10,000 smokes was formed by the colossal eruption of the Norvarupta Volcano of 1912.

This now barren landscape covered by ash and pumice is now littered by thousands of steam vents hence called the "Valley of 10,000 Smokes". Once a lush green paradise where glacier fed rivers spidered through the towering mountains, meadows and valleys. Is now one of the most amazing spectacles of the 20th century.
