Augustine Volcano erupts sending 5 mile ash plume over Alaska
An eruption at Augustine Volcano on a sparsely populated island produced an ash cloud rising about five miles into the sky. Authorities cited potential disruption to air travel and advised residents on Kenai Peninsula to stay indoors and limit outdoor activity. The eruption follows a 1986 event, with meteorologists noting the plume likely to avoid Anchorage this time.
