(TRUNEWS) A volcano has erupted on Alaska’s Aleutian Islands which caused the U.S. Geological Survey to raise the volcano alert level to “warning”. Airlines were put on “red” alert. Both warnings are the highest possible.
The Pavlof volcano is 4.4 miles in diameter and has 40 eruptions, according to CNBC. It is located 600 miles southwest of Anchorage. Tremors were felt on the ground.
Ash spewed 20,000 feet into the air. Other eruptions have seen 49,000-foot ash plumes, as reported by Fox.
The closest community is Cold Bay, which is 37 miles away from the volcano. About 100 people live there.
Recently there were volcanos in Antarctica, Japan and South American, as reported by TRUNEWS, leading some experts to believe there is an uptick in activity.
