A smoglike haze that hung over part of Kodiak Island this week was courtesy of a volcanic eruption — 100 years ago. The National Weather Service says strong winds and a lack of snow on Tuesday helped stir up ash from the 1912 eruption of Novarupta, the largest volcanic blast of the 20th century. Ash drifted over the Shelikof Strait and across Kodiak Island, prompting an aviation alert. The weather service says the event is not unheard-of, but is not common, either.
