Alaska volcano spews ash cloud high enough to draw
weather service warning for pilots
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An erupting volcano in
Alaska’s Aleutian Islands sent a towering cloud of ash
into the air Friday, prompting the National Weather
Service to issue an inflight warning to pilots.
The Shishaldin Volcano began erupting July 11,
according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory. A U.S.
Coast Guard overflight confirmed lava erupted the same
day within the summit crater.
A significant explosion at 1:09 a.m. Friday produced an
ash cloud that reached up to 40,000 feet (12,192
meters) and drifted south over the Pacific Ocean. A
second smaller explosion at 7:10 a.m. Friday reached
about 15,000 feet (4,572 meters).
The National Weather Service issued a inflight weather
advisory due to the drifting ash cloud.
Volcanic ash is angular and sharp and has been used as
an industrial abrasive. The powdered rock can cause a
jet engine to shut down.
