Alaska Airlines has resumed flying to Alaska cities after suspending operations there late Sunday and early today because of volcanic ash from an eruption in the Aleutian Islands. Volcanic ash ingested into jet engines can damage the engines and lead to shutdown of those engines if the damage is extensive. The airline canceled 44 flights to Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, Adak, Anchorage and Fairbanks due to the ash from the Kasatochi volcano. Those flights were to and from Seattle, Portland, Denver, San Francisco, Chicago and Vancouver, B.C. Alaska is adding extra flights today to help some 5,200 passengers stranded by the earlier cancellations. August is peak tourist season in Alaska. "We recognize these cancellations have significantly impacted our customers with travel plans to and from Alaska," said Glenn Johnson, Alaska's executive vice president of airports, maintenance and engineering. "These decision are guided by out commitment to safety, and we are making every effort to reaccommodate passengers whose flight schedules have been disrupted." ...

Kasatochi Volcano in Alaska's Aleutian Islands erupted explosively Aug. 7, sending an ash plume more than 35,000 feet into the air and forcing two biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to evacuate the island. "Kasatochi went from a quiet volcano to an explosive eruption within 24 hours and with very little warning," said USGS volcano scientist Marianne Guffanti. "We are thankful our colleagues were able to get out before the eruption began. They were rescued just in time by a local fishing boat."

Okmok Volcano erupted unexpectedly and explosively on July 12, followed by Cleveland Volcano, 100 miles away, on July 21. Both volcanoes sent ash plumes skyrocketing and caused commercial airline flights to be diverted or cancelled. Scientists relied on seismic instruments on other volcano networks in the area to detect activity at Kasatochi volcano. "Fortunately, the existing seismic networks on nearby volcanoes picked up the activity at Kasatochi volcano," said Tom Murray, scientist-in-charge of the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO). "They were installed with funding from the Federal Aviation Administration to reduce the hazard to aviation from volcanic ash. These networks were crucial in recognizing that this volcano had entered the firs ...
clipped by: mariana3 Clip Source: www.spaceweather.com This weekend, observers around Europe are reporting the same "volcanic sunsets" widely observed last week in North America. "This was probably due to aerosols in the stratosphere spewed by the August 7th eruption of the Kasatochi volcano in the Aleutian Islands." Meanwhile, back in the USA, "the sky is on fire," reports Doug Zubenel of Kansas. "The colors tonight (Aug. 30th) were about as vivid as I have ever seen ( photos )." One state away in Nebraska, Jerry Chab reports "the sky was white at the horizon and turned yellow, orange, red, purple, blue then finally black up high ( photos ). It was like a rainbow in clear skies!" Tags: astronomy , climate , geology , volcano , sky , sunset ...
clipped by: merrie clipper's remarks: The moratorium remained unchanged for more than a decade until Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens spearheaded a successful effort to suspend the moratorium in 2003. In January 2007, President George Bush lifted Clinton's moratorium on leasing the drilling rights in the Aleutian Basin. The Aleutian Basin is the only shallow-water leasing area currently offered by the Interior Department. Roughly 80% of the area's waters are less than 200 feet deep. The most promising drilling prospects are located in water depths of about 300 feet. Clip Source: www.forbes.com In a recent appearance on The Daily Show , House Majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi quipped that in the congressional battle over offshore drilling, if the Republicans "want Alaska, we'll give them Alaska." Too late. Even if she's as good as her word, she'll find there's not much left to give. In 2004, Congress quietly lifted the moratorium on oil drilling in the ecologically sensitive Northern Aleutian Basin. On Aug. 1, the U.S. Interior Department's Mineral Management Service completed the first major step toward selling the leasing rights to oil and gas drilling companies by publishing a notice in the Federal Register calling for public comments. Ironically, oil isn't the only energy to be found in the area. The Aleutian Islands have the best wind-power resource potential in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
