Hello Michele - Looks like normal steam coming from the cooling 2009 lava dome at Redoubt - backlit clouds can look particularly dark. Seismic data do not indicate any eruptive event/emission of ash. Thank you, Cheryl -------- Michele Holley wrote: Just wondering, it was a visual on 2 small eruptions of Redoubt yesterday with streaming ash cloud moving south in the sunset last night. Why do you not report this, and do you think this non event or not significant? -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
