NATION IN BRIEF : ALASKA : Volcano Blows Top After Earthquake
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Redoubt Volcano blew its top again shortly after a moderate earthquake rocked a wide area of Alaska and geologists said the two events might be related. Redoubt’s latest eruption sent an ash plume 35,000 feet high blowing toward the sparsely populated mountainous region to the northwest, the Alaska Volcano Observatory said. Geologists said the eruption from the 10,197-foot mountain 110 miles southwest of Anchorage appeared to shoot less ash into the sky than in previous eruptions.
