Three remote Alaska volcanoes are in various states of eruption, one producing lava and the other two blowing steam and ash. So far, none of the small communities near the volcanoes have been affected, Chris Waythomas, a geologist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory, said on Thursday. Webcams on August 6 clearly showed episodic low-level ash emissions from Pavlof Volcano, prompting the observatory to raise the volcano's threat level from yellow, or exhibiting signs of unrest, to orange, indicating an eruption is underway with minor volcanic ash emissions.More Related News
