<P>The July 12 explosion of the 3,500-foot (1,067-meter) Okmok Volcano on Umnak 
Island spewed ash and sulfur dioxide 50,000 feet (15,240 kilometers) high, and 
the materials have since formed into a large mass hovering above the North 
Pacific. 
<P>The new eruption is more intense than the volcano's past three major events 
in 1945, 1958, and 1997, according to a statement by the Alaska Volcano 
Observatory. This explosion is uniquely water-rich, due to the mixing of rising 
magma and shallow groundwater, the statement said. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/07/080715-volcano-photo.html"><P>Ten people who live on Umnak Island were evacuated, and nearby Unalaska Island has been covered with a light ashfall, Jennifer Adleman, a geologist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory, told Reuters news service. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/65234508-0086-4C8C-8E58-72925077EFD6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
