Ben Boettger/Peninsula Clarion A plume of steam rises from the side of Mt. Redoubt, seen from the banks of the Kenai River on Wednesday, Feb. 11. "When it's windy, (the steam) gets whisked away, but when it's calm and clear, it usually has a chance to stay and linger about," said geologist Game McGimsey of the Alaska Volcano Observatory. According to AVO, the steam does not indicate a coming eruption. "There is nothing unusual happening at Mt. Redoubt," McGimsey said.
