Few people go to remote Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve. Its acres are among the least visited in the National Park System. Notoriously bad weather combines with costly and unpredictable access to discourage most potential visitors.

Although the unit is hard to get to, it offers spectacular scenic vistas and examples of geologic and hydrologic activity.

Ash from the May 1931 eruption of Aniakchak fell at a rate of a pound per hour at the Chignik villages, 65 miles to the south. The blast was heard 200 miles away and the ash sprinkled the ground nearly 700 miles from the source. The eruption left a caldera 250 deep and one-half mile wide.
