ANCHORAGE: An Alaska volcano that has been rumbling since midsummer shot ash about 8km into the sky on Sunday, triggering a warning to aviators and dusting one small fishing village, officials reported.

The plume stretched about 145km as of midday, blowing mostly east and over the Gulf of Alaska, said the observatory. Also pouring out of Shishaldin’s caldera on Sunday was a stream of red-hot lava, the observatory reported. Most of the ash production has been relatively minor, but Sunday’s event was serious enough to warrant a “code red” warning for air traffic to avoid the area, the second such warning in the volcano’s current eruptive phase, Fee said.Shishaldin, about 1,095km southwest of Anchorage, is the tallest mountain in the Aleutian chain, rising to 2,857m in elevation.
