Alaska volcanoes show signs of unrest |
|
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) -- Anchorage residents could see a cloud of steam last weekend from a volcano 75 miles away -- one of three Alaska volcanoes showing signs of unrest.
The three volcanoes, including two located on remote Aleutian islands distant from any population centers, are setting off frequent tremors and minor bursts of ash or steam, seismologists said on Tuesday.
Cleveland Volcano, 900 miles southwest of Anchorage, had a small eruption on Friday, said the Alaska Volcano Observatory, which monitors Alaska's more than 40 active volcanoes.
Cleveland Volcano, which comprises the western half of uninhabited Chuginadak Island, last erupted in 2001. The closest community, 45 miles to the east, is Nikolski, an Aleut village of 36 people.
