"Last Tuesday, one of the most important volcanoes in Alaska shot hot ash 25,000 feet into the air..."

How does one determine which volcanoes are more important than others? In my estimation, the most important volcano would be the one that happens to be erupting at the moment.

I agree with you to a certain extent; the most important one to me, would be the one erupting in my back yard!
