Stories Related to Alaska Volcano Sends Up Ash Cloud From Aleutian Islands

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A 14-minute eruption by an Alaska volcano sent an ash cloud to 30,000 feet (9,100 meters) in the Aleutian Islands. The Alaska Volcano Observatory says Bogoslof Volcano erupted at 3:17 a.m. Tuesday. Ash clouds above 20,000 feet can harm airliners flying between Asia and North America. The observatory raised the aviation alert code to “warning” level, the highest level. Winds were blowing to the northeast, which would push a cloud into the Bering Sea.
