Aleutian Volcano Erupts Again

A restless Aleutian volcano exploded again on Friday, according to reports in Anchorage.

Researchers from the Alaska Volcano Observatory have detected another short explosion in Cleveland on Friday.

The explosion occurred for the second time in two days.

On Wednesday night the Cleveland Volcano had spewed a small amount of ash, a potential hazard to trans-oceanic air travel, but the ash did not appear to reach above 20,000 feet, just after two days.

Satellites have not detected a high-level ash cloud that could pose a threat to trans-oceanic air travel, according to reports.

For the past few months, researchers have also detected a series of small earthquakes at the lliamma volcano in Alaska.
