ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An Alaska volcano that has been rumbling since midsummer shot ash about 5 miles into the sky on Sunday, triggering a warning to aviators and dusting one small fishing village, officials reported.
Shishaldin Volcano, one of the most active in Alaska, kicked out a plume of ash that satellite imagery detected as high as 28,000 feet above sea level, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory, the joint federal-state-university office that tracks the state’s many volcanoes. A sprinkling of ash was reported in the tiny Aleutian village of False Pass, about 23 miles northeast of the Shishaldin, said David Fee, the observatory’s University of Alaska Fairbanks coordinating scientist.False Pass has a year-round population of about 40, according to state data, but draws many more people during the summer fishing season.
Shishaldin has been in an on-and-off eruptive phase since July, occasionally dribbling lava down its snowy flanks and puffing ash and steam.
