(11) Volcanic Activity Summary: | A moderate, 10-minute-long eruption occurred at Cleveland Volcano beginning at 03:19 AKDT (11:19 UTC) on 4 July. The explosion was detected by seismic and infrasound (air pressure) sensors. No satellite data is currently available. We are elevating the Aviation Color Code/Alert Level to ORANGE/WATCH. |
