ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An explosion Tuesday morning rocked Alaska’s Cleveland Volcano but scientists have detected no ash cloud that could threaten jets crossing the Pacific Ocean.
Scientists as the Alaska Volcano Observatory recorded an explosion at the volcano 940 miles southwest of Anchorage in the Aleutian Islands.
U.S. Geological Survey geologist Kristi Wallace said ash may have been produced but likely stayed under 20,000 feet, she said.
Clouds obscured the sky at 30,000 feet. The observatory detected no ash above the clouds.
