Alaska’s Bogoslof volcano ‘belched’ an ash cloud 35,000ft (10,668 meters) into the atmosphere over a period of just 55 minutes.

Situated on the Aleutian Islands, the volcano erupted at 2:16pm local time Sunday, prompting the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) to issue a red aviation code – the highest warning level.

Weather satellites captured in superb detail the dispersion of ash over the Bering Sea. Images from the Japanese Himawari satellite shared by the National Weather Service Ocean Prediction Center show the ash cloud clearly.

The aviation code was later lowered to ‘orange’ as no further ash emissions occurred following Sunday’s explosion, and seismic activity was low.

The AVO advised however that further ash producing eruptions could occur at any time and without warning.
