I wonder if Neandertals ran around blaming men with fire on the end of
the Ice age?

he Alaska Volcano Observatory has increased it
level of concern for Fourpeaked Volcano to code
Yellow. It previously had NO warning level. This
action came as a result of weekend reports of an
unusually large cloud rising 20,000 feet from the
Cape Douglas area. Cape Douglas is 80 miles
northwest of Kodiak and within the Katmai National
Park and Preserve.

The AVO now confirms that the source of the large
cloud was volcanic. But the exact location of the
cloud is not known, yet. Observatory scientists say
satellite and radar data suggested a source low on
the flank of Fourpeaked Volcano. They anticipate
conducting an aerial fly-over for confirmation when
weather allows. The observatory says the last
volcanic activity at Fourpeaked was probably
ten-thousand years ago.
