Fri, 2 Aug 2019, 10:42 | BY: T
The alert level of the volcano was raised by the Alaska Volcano Observatory:
"Pilot reports of steaming coincided with low-level tremor recorded at Veniaminof at 20:30 UTC (12:30 AKDT). These observations mark a departure from recent background activity. Therefore AVO is raising the Aviation Color Code to YELLOW and the Volcano Alert Level to ADVISORY."
