Strong winds blowing to the north in the region north of Aniakchak and east of Port Heiden have picked up loose volcanic ash and carried it to the north today. A dense cloud of possible resuspended volcanic ash was observed near ground levels in this web camera view at Port Heiden. Satellite views confirm that this cloud has been drifting to the north approximately 200 km.
