Officials are monitoring a remote Alaska volcano that could launch an ash cloud, potentially threatening intercontinental flights.
"Eruptive activity" of Cleveland Volcano was detected in satellite data, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
The volcano, also known as Mount Cleveland, is on the Aleutian Islands, southwest of mainland Alaska.
Steve McNutt, a scientist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, said 90% of air freight from Asia to Europe and North America flies over Alaska air space, and hundreds of flights - including more than 20,000 passengers - fly through Anchorage's air space daily.

To: Al Gore,
Go to the rim of the volcano and wait. Take Pelosi, Frank, Reid and all the Occupiers with you.
@ MARTIN LMAO totally agree
@martin that way al gore can really experience global warming LMAO
was so lame
big al was right
Exactly *how* does a volcano, which has absolutely zero to do with Al Gore, global warming, climate change, or whatever, get politicalized?
See above posts.
Al Gore was also responsible for Mt. Vesuvius and Mt. St. Helen's erupting, also.
Bad Al Gore.
Bad, BAD Al Gore.
@actually banasy You are correct.I was just joking with the other guy.When he posted that comment that was the first thimg that came to mind,not looking to get in a arguement
I know, gung hoe...my posts were tongue-in-cheek also.
Kumbaya my friends, Kumbaya.
It's all good, Rawr.
We know...
@BOMBO:
Have you ever BEEN to Cleveland?
It's a joke, folks....
I have a feeling it's gonna be one of those days....
I'll play stupid today. Why in the heck is the Cleveland Volcano in Alaska?
I'm not going to Cleveland until Rush is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Or if they at least put Loded Diper in as a joke.
The Alaskan volcano COULD erupt and disrupt air travel, buit that means it also COULDN'T erupt, which makes me feel better.
When will we know For Certain that the volcano will erupt & disrupt air traffic?? Tomorrow, next wk? "Eruptive activity" sounds more S.e.x.ual than political to me, but maybe because I haven't had none for a while!!
LMAO!
NOT going to touch that one, Fern!!
Sarah Palin was out shootin' at some food, and up from the ground came some stinky ol' fumes.
Amazing shot, that woman, considering she lives in Arizona now….lol! 😉
