The Pavlof Volcano spews ash in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska on March 28, 2016. US Coast Guard/REUTERS The eruption that started Sunday at Alaska's Pavlof has abated after over 24 hours of intense activity. The Alaska Volcano Observatory lowered the area's alert status to orange after a drop in seismicity (meaning less magma is likely rising up into the volcano or the rate of eruption has dropped). But the ash cloud that topped out at ~11 kilometers (37,000 feet) high is still lingering over the Bering Sea and interior Alaska. Yesterday, the ash was significant enough to prompt Alaska Airlines to cancel 20 flights while PenAir ended up canceling most of their flights. Even with those cancellations, a passenger on an Alaska Airlines flight captured a great video of the erupting Pavlof.
