Pavlof Volcano erupts with ash plume reaching 15000 feet
Alaska's Pavlof Volcano shot an ash cloud about 15000 feet high during ongoing activity. Residents of Cold Bay and Sand Point saw steam and ash, with tremors rising at the 8262 foot summit as pilots circled nearby plumes. Local observers noted light ash fall near a mining camp and fuel terminal, though winds kept ash away from major flight paths.
