Along a remote, roughly 800-mile stretch of Alaska's Aleutian island chain, 3 volcanoes are erupting at the same time, with at least 2 spewing low levels of ash and steam.
The simultaneous eruptions have been going on for more than a week but do not currently pose a threat to nearby communities or air travel.Along a remote, roughly 800-mile stretch of Alaska's Aleutian island chain, three volcanoes are erupting at the same time, with at least two spewing low levels of ash and steam.Peggy Kruse / Alaska Volcano Obs / Reuters
"Alaska has a lot of volcanoes, and we typically see maybe one eruption every year, on average," Matthew Loewen, a research geologist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory, told NBC News."To have three erupting at once is less common, but it does happen." Pavlof is located almost 600 miles away from Anchorage. Its nearest city is Cold Bay, a small community that is home to fewer than 120 residents. Closer to the middle of the Aleutian Islands, Great Sitkin lies roughly 25 miles northeast of the city of Adak.
The volcanic islands that make up the so-called Aleutian Arc are part of a horseshoe-shaped zone that can be traced along the rim of the Pacific Ocean where many of the world's earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. This region, known as theis seismically and volcanically active because it is located at the boundaries of several tectonic plates that continually collide and mash together.
