From Times Wire Reports

A volcano on an uninhabited island was erupting again after 10 days of relative calm. The eruption shot a cloud of ash almost 6 miles high.

Augustine Volcano had been quiet for 20 years until early January, when an eruption dusted the Kenai Peninsula with ash. The National Weather Service issued an ash advisory for Kodiak Island to the southeast.

The 4,134-foot volcano is about 180 miles from Anchorage.
