Many smaller eruptions have also happened. There are fifteen active volcanoes in the park. This is one of the world's most active places for volcanoes. It is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
 
³     The greatest volcanic eruption of the twentieth century happened at Katmai. In 1912, the Novarupta Volcano erupted. It lasted for almost four days. Ash traveled to Seattle, Washington. Ash was found as far away as Africa! The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes was created by this eruption. It is forty square miles in size. The ash flow is between 100 and 700 feet deep.
