ANCHORAGE —<\/strong> The latest eruption of an Alaska volcano is expected to send trace amounts of ash to a nearby community.<\/p>\n

The Alaska Volcano Observatory says a volcanic cloud rising to 25,000 feet was seen in satellite data at 5 a.m.<\/p>\n

The cloud was moving east toward Unalaska Island.<\/p>\n

The observatory says the cloud is “ice-rich” but likely also contains ash.<\/p>\n

Unalaska is home to one of the nation’s largest fishing ports, Dutch Harbor.<\/p>\n

The Unalaska Department of Public Safety says ash was projected to reach the community at 7:20 a.m.<\/p>\n

Less than one-thirty-second of an inch of ash was expected.<\/p>\n
