A ‘red warning’ has been issued after the Pavlof Volcano in Alaska erupted Sunday, sending ash to an altitude of 20,000ft (6,100 meters).
The volcano located on Alaska’s Aleutian Islands erupted at 4:18 p.m. local time, causing tremors on the ground, according to the US Geological Survey.
The USGS has raised the volcano alert level to “Warning” and the aviation warning to “Red”, the highest level.
The code red level signifies that eruption is imminent or underway and significant emission of volcanic ash into the atmosphere is likely.
Ash was reportedly moving north after the eruption, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
