Alaska Volcano Starts Cooling Down After Eruption
After more than 24 hours of activity, the Alaskan volcano, Pavlof, is cooling down. Now that the rate of eruption is on the decline, The Alaska Volcano Observatory has lowered its alert status to orange. An ash cloud still remains over the interior of Alaska and the Bering Sea. The ash was significant enough for many flights to be canceled on Monday, but some passengers who were aboard Alaska Airlines flights were able to capture Pavlof erupting.

The volcano, which is about 4 and a half miles in diameter, has 40 recorded eruptions and "is one of the most consistently active volcanoes in the Aleutian Arc."
