Mount Redoubt, an Alaskan stratovolcano 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, experienced large explosions starting late on Sunday and early Monday. Geologists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory reported a plume of smoke rose up to 50,000ft into the air and issued a red alert, meaning a significant emission of volcanic ash into the atmosphere is likely.

Yucca Mountain in Nevada was the proposed site for a national nuclear waste repository from 1987 to early 2009. It's the creation of a caldera volcano.The only recent eruption is cheering from those who wished to make the plans for Yucca politically extinct.
