Alaska's Cleveland Volcano could soon be leaking from its flanks if the lava inside continues to build up, officials at the Alaska Volcano Observatory reported.
The observatory reported that the volcano's lava dome was 262 feet in diameter on August 30 and has now expanded to 394 feet.
"The presence of the lava dome increases the possibility of an explosive eruption, but does not necessarily indicate that one will occur," the observatory said. "Short-lived explosions could produce an ash cloud that exceeds 20,000 ft above sea level."
The observatory said it did not expect air travel problems if the volcano erupted.
Because "the small lava dome in the summit crater has resumed growth and now fills the floor of the crater," the observatory is raising its alert level.
The remote volcano is in the Aleutian Islands, about 940 miles southwest of Anchorage.
Because the volcano is in such a remote area, the observatory webcam feed has experienced technical difficulties. But you can still check the webcam here.
Well, personally.. I think this is awesome.
Not as awesome as a Beef Taco!
This is definetly one of the more interesting comment streams i have seen.
Summary of this article:
Tom: "Now we go to Ollie Williams with the latest report."
Ollie: "It's Gonna Explode!"
Tom: "Thanks Ollie!"
....really CNN....
This Just In........Volcanos......might erupt.
lol love it I love Oillie Williams cept he would say "its gonna SPLOAD!
I love it. I love family guy. LOL
Ther Earth is ready to purge itself of Humans....its about time!
Starting with you first !
I'm guessing that you have no faith in the power of a Beef Taco!
I hope its far enough away that no one gets hurt. Volcanic eruptions are fascinating.
It's far enuff out, the only thing that might get hurt will be fish.
boy, talk about CO2 gas, these things can spew more CO2 gas in a week than all the autos on the road for a year. Hey, Gore better get a new supply of broker forms, you are really gonta need them to broker enough credits to offset this.
you'll be able to retire after this.
"boy, talk about CO2 gas, these things can spew more CO2 gas in a week than all the autos on the road for a year."
You'd be wrong. On average the yearly emissions of man is 135 times that of all the volcanoes in the world.
Example which was actually 13 years ago so even more is produced:
"The published estimates of the global CO2 emission rate for all degassing subaerial (on land) and submarine volcanoes lie in a range from 0.13 gigaton to 0.44 gigaton per year (Gerlach, 1991; Varekamp et al., 1992; Allard, 1992; Sano and Williams, 1996; Marty and Tolstikhin, 1998). The preferred global estimates of the authors of these studies range from about 0.15 to 0.26 gigaton per year. The 35-gigaton projected anthropogenic CO2 emission for 2010 is about 80 to 270 times larger than the respective maximum and minimum annual global volcanic CO2 emission estimates. It is 135 times larger than the highest preferred global volcanic CO2 estimate of 0.26 gigaton per year (Marty and Tolstikhin, 1998).

Jeff that is an extreme way to say you love Beef Taco!
Wonder if it will affect the crab fishing this season.
Yes it will, the lava flow will heat up the Bering sea and cookem. LMAO
TheTruth72, if that is the game you plan to play, the concept of a Mother Earth is not only more widespread than that of Jesus and Christianity, it is also a good few thousand years older. The concept of Gaea, or Mother Earth, has been told since at least around 3000 BC, whereas Jesus supposedly lived at least 2000 years after that. Gaea has "existed" MUCH longer than Jesus, has SEVERAL versions throughout the world, and though neither is factual, Gaea is at least twice as credible/believable.
Actually there are cave paintings and small icons of the female form dating back to 32,000 BCE. So while you are correct that the mother earth godess is much older then Christianity it is actually much older then you realize. It is the first form of religion created by humans.
If the 32000 year old cave painting lady was holding a Beef Taco call me a convert.
If we 'humanity' created religion, then did we create God? Or was God always there waiting for us to worship in one specific slavation way? Could we worship a Beef Taco the same?
Then who created the Beef Taco?
But it doesn't really matter, frankly. The cause of the earthquakes can be explained by basic geology, and if it erupts, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
2012 is happening just saying
run forest run
Fundy Fun
EPA is filling a complaint against god to prevent the eruption... They are demanding a hold on the eruption till the all
litigation is completed in the courts. They claim that eruption will cause massive release of gasses that can not be accurately measured or controlled and the impact will have a huge effect on all life on this planet. God will be required to maintain accurate records of all emissions and MUST not allow any release until the courts have completed the at least 30 yrs of research, claims and litigation.. Any refusal of cooperation will force the courts to arrest god with multi- billions in bond will be assessed for any possible of release during this litigation process.
As quoted in my previous posts, a chain of catastrophic events will unfold in the months ahead, including earthquakes in Las Vegas and other parts of the globe, eruption of the yellowstone and other volcanos, plus weather related storms,hurricanes typhoons, forest fires. Head for the mountain above tree line to be safe.
Learn from the past mountain tops are not safe (too far to fall). Build an arc fill it with Beef Tacos!
Lol bob
Hey guys, will you visit HelpFaye.ORG. a friend of mine is fighting for her life ... Thank you
