Pavlof Volcano Eruption

Observation: Mount Pavlof, about 30 miles northeast of King Cove can be seen puffing away again. There are concerns of wind direction changing and sending the ash fall towards our community. Possibly contributing to hazardous air quality and the disruption of transportation for community members traveling in/out of King Cove. Dorothea Berntsen

LEO says: The Alaska Volcano Observatory's (AVO) component agencies distribute information regarding volcanic activity in Alaska each Friday. During eruptions, written statements that include the location, time, size of the eruption, and narrative descriptions of projected plume paths, are distributed to federal, state, and local government agencies, the public, the media, commercial airlines, and others by pre-programmed facsimile machines and electronic mail systems.

Alaska Public Media – Seismic Flare-Ups Leave Scientists Searching For Answers, "In the past few months, Alaska’s seen a flurry of volcanic eruptions and sizable earthquakes. It’s disrupted life in the Aleutian Islands and the far western Brooks Range — and it’s got scientists wondering how all the activity might be connected." By Annie Ropeik, KUCB - Unalaska (2014-06-18)
