The Katmaï Volcanic Complex is a volcanic group in Alaska that includes Mount Katmaï and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. The complex is known for the 1912 eruption of Novarupta, one of the largest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century. This area is significant for studying volcanic activity, pyroclastic flows, and the impact of large eruptions on the environment.
