Alaska’s remote Bogoslof volcano keeps erupting, and has demolished much of its Aleutian island home with a string of huge explosions.
The latest event on Thursday sent a cloud of ash and ice 35,000 feet in the air, prompting the Alaska Volcano Observatory to issue its highest alert for aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration says the volcano had no immediate effect on flight operations.
On December 20, though, an aircraft passing within 20 miles of the volcano afforded a breathtaking view of an eruption through the plane’s windows.
