Audubon Arctic Wall Calendar 2022 Adds Mount Katmai to Wild November


Summary: Audubon Arctic Wall Calendar 2022, whereby the National Audubon Society acclaims Arctic, near-Arctic American wildlife, adds Mount Katmai to wild November.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.


A 1912 eruption added a crater lake, and the Novarupta vent as neighbor, to Mount Katmai. Twenty-eighth Unitedstatesian President (March 4, 1913-March 4, 1921) Woodrow Wilson (Dec. 28, 1856-Feb. 3, 1924) thereby added the area to the National Monument list, thanks to the Antiquities Act of 1906; September 1980 image of Katmai Crater, Alaska Southwest, by Captain Budd Christman, NOAA Corps: NOAA Photo Library, CC BY 2.0 Generic, via Flickr

Audubon Arctic Wall Calendar 2022, whereby the National Audubon Society acclaims Arctic, near-Arctic American wildlife in continental and insular Alaska and Canada, adds the large composite stratovolcano Mount Katmai to wild November.
Mount Katmai belongs etymologically to Russian settlement of Alaska (from Aleut alaxsxaq, “mainland, that toward which the action of the sea is directed” via Russian Аля́ска). Katmai (from Russian Ка́тмай, “mount”) claims, additionally to Russian-settlement (1774-1867) connections, biogeographical configurations within Katmai National Park and Preserve on the Alaska Peninsula of southwest Alaska. National-monument designation in 1918 by Woodrow Wilson (Dec. 28, 1856-Feb. 3, 1924), 28th Unitedstatesian President (March 4, 1913-March 4, 1921), defended only the Novarupta volcano area.
The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act December 2, 1980, established the 4,093,077-acre (6,395.43-square-mile, 16,564.09-square-kilometer) Katmai National Park and Preserve that edges extreme tidal-flowing Shelikof Strait.

The Novarupta (from Latin nova rupta, "newly erupted") vent adjoins Mounts Griggs (for Robert Fiske Grigggs, Aug. 22, 1881-June 10, 1962), Katmai, Mageik and Martin (for George C. Martin, July 18, 1875-June 22, 1943) as five vents around the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes in Katmai National Park and Preserve on the Alaska Peninsula of southwest Alaska; August 1991 image of "Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska. Novarupta lava dome (dark, rounded feature in center), viewed from Mount Katmai, which is surrounded by (clockwise from upper left) Falling Mountain, Baked Mountain, and Broken Mountain. The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, upper right, was created by the June 1912 eruption of Novarupta Volcano," by Christopher "Chris" J. Nye, Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS): Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

The 150- by 25- to 30-statue-mile (240- by 40- to 48-kilometer) Пролив Шелихова seaform, for Grigory Shelikhov [July 20, 1747-July 31, 1795]), flows along Kodiak Island.
Katmai National Park and Preserve guards good glimpses strait-ward of Kodiak Island and Shelikof Strait and park-ward of Novarupta volcano and Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. It houses, since 1912, the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes as fumaroles (gas-, steam- and vapor-emitting Earth-surface vents, from Latin fūmus -ārium -olum, “smoke place little”). The Novarupta (from Latin nova rupta, “newly erupted”) area includes Mount Griggs, Mount Mageik and Mount Martin stratovolcano (from Latin stratus and Vulcānus, “stretched-out fire-god”) vents.
Mount Katmai jubilates wild November on Audubon Arctic Wall Calendar 2022 and wild year-round as 70,000-year activest of five stratovolcanoes inhabiting the Aleutian Range’s Novarupta area.

Katmai National Park and Preserve adorns the southwest Alaskan coastline across from Kodiak Island and alongside Shelikof Strait (Пролив Шелихова seaform, for Grigory Shelikhov [July 20, 1747-July 31, 1795]); August 2015 image of "Oblique map of Katmai National Park, showing the entire park and volcanoes in full color from a three-dimensional perspective.

Internal pressure kindles stratovolcanic eruptions of molten matter from magma (from Greek μάγμα, “paste”) chambers that keep a maximum of molten rock from mantle-melted, moving plates.
Alaskan surfaces lie atop a rocky, thin crust logging North American and Juan de Fuca tectonic (from Greek τεκτονικός, “carpenter” via Latin tectonicus, “architecture-, building-related”) plates. Continental and oceanic crusts move downward, sideward, upward atop the hot, soft Earth mantle that melts any plate moving 60 miles (97 kilometers) down into it. Gas-niching molten matter navigates upward from the mantle that nets respective crust- and core-ward temperatures of 1832 and 6692 degrees Fahrenheit (1000 and 3700 degrees Celsius).
The central vent in Mount Katmai, and all stratovolcanoes, orients gas-, rock- and vapor-occupied magma ousted from the mantle, through the crust, into the magma chamber.

Peregrinatory pressure pulls chamber walls apart and puts ashy, cindery, rocky magma through the vent surface as lava (from Latin labōs, “work” via Latin lābēs, “fall”).
The 6.3-mile (10-kilometer) diameter Mount Katmai quarters a central, lake-filled, 2- by 3-mile (3.2- by 4.8-kilometer) caldera (from Latin caldāria, “warm bath” via Spanish caldera, “cauldron”). The 1912 Novarupta eruption realized the 6,716-foot- (2,047-meter-) high caldera rim with its 4,220-foot- (1,286-meter-) high crater-lake surface 820 feet (249.4 meters) above the crater-lake floor. Katmai National Park and Preserve shelters red foxes, red-throated loons, Arctic terns, moose, ptarmigans, Savannah sparrows, caribou as wild January, February, April, May, June, August 2023.
Mallards, king eiders, brown bears, caribou, Mount Katmai and snowy owls turn Audubon Arctic Wall Calendar 2022 into wild January, August, September, October, November and December.

Mount Katmai allies with the more northerly volcanoes along the Alaska Peninsula of southwest Alaska. It appears among 15 active volcanoes in Katmai National Park and Preserve; "Map of Alaska volcanoes katmai," from Christina Neal, Robert McGimsey and Michael F.
