The latest series of more-powerful ash-producing blasts from the crater of the 8,261-foot (2,518-meter) volcano started late on Monday and continued overnight into Tuesday, scientists said. The ash reportedly reached heights of 28,000 feet at times, disrupting several commercial flights. Anchorage-based PenAir canceled one flight and rerouted others, an official confirmed to Reuters.
