History
Descritive name, meaning "new eruption", given in 1916 by R. F. Griggs, National Geographic Society, for the volcano, "of typical form and character, which has arisen in the floor of the Valley (of Ten Thousand Smokes)." The 1912 eruption of this volcano caused the collapse of Mount Katmai, and the fumeroles which gave the valley its name.
