The eruption of the Bogoslof Volcano in the Aleutian Islands may disrupt the activity of the important flights. The Alaska Volcano has been active for the last six months.
For the last six months, the Bogoslof Volcano has been active and the last eruption took place on Sunday at 2:16 pm, Global News reported. This Alaska Volcano is situated in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. The Sunday eruption lasted for 55 minutes and this ultimately sent one ash cloud that was 10,668 meters high, the Alaska Volcano Observatory stated.
The increasing amount of ash from the Bogoslof Volcano can be very harmful to the jet engines as it can stop the engines. Ash coming out from the volcano of the southwest Alaska possesses a great threat for the airlines. The threat becomes acute when the cloud crosses the height of 6,096 meters. The airlines between the North America and the Asia mainly face the crisis.
The previous Aviation Color Code was red after the Bogoslof Volcano eruption, though the current color is orange, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory. No further ash emissions took place after the Sunday explosion. Before Sunday The Alaska Volcano last erupted on 17 May 2017. The eruption occurred at 10:32 pm and continued for almost 73 minutes and spewed ash into the air.
The Aviation Color Code provides essential information about the Bogoslof Volcano. Now the important fact is this Color Code includes four colors and each color reflects the condition near the volcano. Here the red color indicates the eruption with a significant amount of ash into the air. The orange color says there is almost no emission of ash, though the eruption is under way.
The U.S. News stated that reports from a pilot revealed the eruption of the Bogoslof Volcano on 17 May that formed a cloud of ash. The eruption sent the ash cloud 35,000 feet into the air. After this, the observatory issued warnings to the pilots. The important fact was the wind actually pushed the ash cloud southwest.
This Alaska Volcano is a submarine stratovolcano. The eruption of the Bogoslof Volcano has been occurring periodically since the mid-December. The observatory opines that additional explosions with the high-altitude ash could happen at any time.
