Alaska's most active volcano starts erupting

Alaska's most active volcano is spitting lava into the air and producing an ash cloud at low elevations. But unlike Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii's Big Island, where there's been spectacular images of lava encroaching on a community and burning a home, there's no property at risk in Alaska because of the eruption of Pavlof Volcano.

The 8,262-foot Pavlof Volcano is located in a relatively uninhabited area about 625 miles southwest of Anchorage on the Alaska Peninsula. The closest community is about 40 miles away.

Observers from that community, Cold Bay, reported seeing dark snow on the surface of the volcano Wednesday, indicating an eruption has started. The eruption intensified that afternoon and continued through the week, David Schneider, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey and the Alaska Volcano Observatory, said Friday.

Even though there's seismic monitoring systems on the volcano, Schneider said Pavlof is considered the most subtle of Alaska's volcanos. Magma can make its way up the volcano without producing any earthquakes.

This eruption is characterized by lava being ejected from a vent near the summit, producing an ash cloud that extends for about 125 miles. However, the cloud is at a relatively low altitude, about 16,000 feet.

They did, and at this mag, not an aftershock! Plus with the timing of it being like a little over half an hour is like build up to it...
Its like a breaking up...

Just my 2 cents

:cornwhiskey:

Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says some coastlines of the Philippines may also experience tsunami waves (no alerts in effect there atm)

Always good to see you AKO, my Alaskan friend!

Hope the cold doesnt bite too bad!

:(

No buoys in event mode yet. Been almost an hour. May have been a slip strike quake, therefore, did not thrust the ocean floor up or down enough to cause a tsunami.
