Quiet Giant

For any of you who may be interested, we have not had a major eruption, yet. They say there is a new dome pushing up. I'm not sure exactly what the implications of this are, however, the status of the volcano is at "orange" and not "red." This means there is less chance of a major eruption at the present moment! Of course this can change instantly! I am fascinated! As the picture shows, the snow is now all gray due to the ash, and on the other picture, the dark spot in the middle of the dome is the possible new dome. Have a happy day!
