From North to south they are: Hayes, Spurr, Double Glacier, Redoubt, Iliamna, Augustine and Douglas and even more lie to the south. Augustine, Iliamna, Redoubt and Spurr are all active and are closely monitored. Occasionally one of them will erupt, sending volcanic ash into the sky.

Ninilchik was originally a Russian town dating back to the early 19^th century.  Several of the homes date from the 1800’s in “Old Ninilchik Village” including the first schoolhouse and the Russian Orthodox Church which still sits up on the hill overlooking Ninilchik Village and Cook Inlet. The town was settled by Russian-American Fur Company employees as a retirement community.  Ninilchik was originally a Russian town dating back to the early 19^th century.  Several of the homes date from the 1800’s in “Old Ninilchik Village” including the first schoolhouse and the Russian Orthodox Church which still sits up on the hill overlooking Ninilchik Village and Cook Inlet.
