US-VOLCANO-ALASKA-REDOUBT
In this image obtained from the US Geological Survey (USGS) and the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO), Mount Redoubt in Alalska erupts on March 26, 2009, hurling ash and smoke high into the atmosphere, forcing flight cancellations and prompting new precautions on the ground, authorities said. At 9:24 am local time (17:24 GMT), the volcano began kicking out fresh debris, now reaching up to nearly 20,000 meters (65,000 feet) above sea level, according to the US National Weather Service. The Alaska Volcano Observatory described the blast as "a major explosive event." The last significant blast from Mount Redoubt began in December 1989.
