Mount Spurr erupts after 39 years of dormancy in Alaska
The Mount Spurr volcano near Anchorage erupted, spewing ash and steam up to five miles high. The first moderate explosive eruption occurred at 7 04 a m with two more eruptions in hourly intervals. Scientists warned of more activity to come as tremors began Friday noon. No injuries or health alerts were reported. In Cape Canaveral an astronaut underwent a hour depressurization to ease return from NASA's longest shuttle flight as Lawrence DeLucas entered a vacuum container and read papers during the procedure.
