Note that the linked page shows some ground-level effects; apparently there's been some lahar action.
Were it not that for most of the year the caldera is socked in with clouds, it could be the Haleakala of the North.

The plume is up to 10,000 feet today, eruption continuous and could pick up steam at any time.

I would hate to have to buy the carbon credits from Al Gore on this one!

This is the first I heard of this, it looks as though the Caldera collapsed?
What is the expected VEI strength rated at? That looks very significant. What effects is expected to have on the northern hemisphere?

Our daughter and I went to Japan in 2005 to visit some friends, and the flight took us over Alaska. What an awesome sight! The mountains looked SO close to us, and the glaciers looked like service roads around the mountains.
