For weeks now, I've been following the rumblings of Alaska's Redoubt Volcano several times a day. As volcanoes are wont to do, it rewarded the careful attention of its watchers by erupting in darkness and clouds. The Alaska Volcano Observatory reports - get them here - that ash clouds have reached 60,000 feet. Let's hope the weather clears in time for some impressive photography. The accompanying photograph of steam venting and summit glacier melt was taken on Saturday.
