UPDATE: About two dozen Alaska Airlines flights have been canceled so far today, with Rep. Mary Peltola's plane from Honolulu to Anchorage turned back overnight due to ash from Kamchatka's Shiveluch Volcano.
As of 7 a.m. Alaska time Thursday, Alaska Airlines reported canceling 23 flights due to ash from the volcano. A Twitter post from the airline Thursday morning recommended passengers check their flight status.
Rep. Mary Peltola at the Honolulu airport on Thursday, April 13, 2023, after her flight to Anchorage was turned back by ash from Kamchatka’s Shiveluch Volcano that reached Alaska. Dave Schneider, a research geophysicist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory in Anchorage, says lava from the Shiveluch Volcano forms a dome, parts of which periodically collapse and create ash clouds.
“But as bits and pieces of it are sort of getting pulled off, sort of like you’re making toffee, and you can pull a branch off, and it’ll sort of go off in its own direction,” Schneider said.One cloud actually passed over Dillingham on Wednesday, though Schneider said it was mainly sulfur dioxide gas and contained very little ash.
