An ash plume rises above Pavlof volcano on 13 November 1996, as seen from Nelson Lagoon about 70 km NE. Intermittent small ash and Strombolian eruptions began on 15 September and lava fountains produced a lava flow. Eruption plumes rose above 6.7 km altitude on four days between 18 October and 11 December 1996.
