On 12 November increased
seismicity lead to the eruption of Pavlof located in Alaska.
The eruption began at 3:00 AKST. The
ash plume height on the 12th reached 2.7km.

increased the Aviation Code to Orange
and the Alert Level to watch. Lava fountains erupted from the vent in the north
of the summit and rock avalanches travelled down the north flank of the
volcano. On 15 November, the Aviation Code was increased from Orange
to Red and the Alert Level from a watch to warning after the eruption
intensified. The Ash plume reached an estimated 9 km.
On 16 November the intensity of
the eruption decreased, the Aviation Code was dropped to Orange
and the Alert Level was also dropped back down to a Watch. Seismic activity
decreased and has continued to decrease over the past few days. Activity has
paused or is minimal, however the threat of further activity exists since
pauses between eruptions is in character with the volcano.

'NASA EO-1 Advanced Land Imager image high temperature flowage deposit on the northwest flank of Pavlof Volcano. This shortwave infrared image is sensitive to very high temperatures. This flowage deposit likely contains both new lava and hot rock debris, but the distribution has not yet been determined. The deposit extends for about 3.3 miles (5.4 km) from the vent'.
