Scientists warn of possible eruption at restless Alaska volcano

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A “nuisance” volcano on a remote Alaska Aleutian island is showing signs of a potentially disruptive explosion in the coming days that could disrupt air traffic, scientists said on Wednesday.

Cleveland Volcano, a 5,676-foot (1,730-meter) peak about 950 miles (1,500 km) southwest of Anchorage, has been extruding lava from its crater – a sign of something more serious to come in the next days or possibly weeks, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
