Three remote Alaska volcanoes are in various states of eruption, one producing lava and the other two blowing steam and ash. This is happening about 1 week after a M8.2 earthquake shook wide parts of Alaska on July 28, 2021.
So far, none of the small communities near the volcanoes have been affected, Chris Waythomas, a geologist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory, said Thursday.
Webcams on Thursday clearly showed episodic low-level ash emissions from Pavlof Volcano, prompting the observatory to raise the volcano’s threat level from yellow, or exhibiting signs of unrest, to orange, indicating an eruption is underway with minor volcanic ash emissions.
Ash clouds were rising just above the volcano’s 8,261-foot (2,518-meter) summit, drifting about 6 miles (9.7 kilometers) to the south before dissipating, Waythomas said.
Pavlov is a “very sneaky volcano,” Waythomas said. “It can get going without much warning.”

Went by there Pavlov in 1978 and was a huge ball of pumice hanging over toward the seaward side. I tool a picture, but a swell blurred the shot. There wasn’t time to take more shots.
The 8.2 was over a week ago, wasn’t it?
The Erf never sleeps, especially the Ring of Fire side of it.
Growing up in Cold Bay I could see Pavlof from our living room window. Some nights it glowed.
Nature never had much like for man kind.
