Alaska volcano erupts again

A volcano on an uninhabited island off Alaska erupted again this morning, sending an ash plume 8 1/2miles into the air, officials at the Alaska Volcano Observatory said.

Because winds are moving in different directions at different elevations around the Augustine Volcano, an ash fall advisory was issued for communities along the southwest portion of the Kenai Peninsula and east of the volcano, in the Kamishak and Iliamna bays.
