Down Under or Top Over? Don't ask the Daily Mail

While I am very happy with the way the Daily Mail covers uncovered (or nearly so) starlets, supermodels, actresses, wanna-bes, and just plain babes with great bodies, I don't think you should go to them for geographical accuracy after this latest blooper. They may know St. Tropez from St. Kitts, and Barbados from Bermuda, but when they need to locate the Aleutians, apparently Australia is too close in the gazetteer.

Genuine screen cap:













The caption reads: "The 5,676 foot-tall Cleveland Volcano is located on the uninhabited island of Chuginadak in the Aleutian chain about 940 miles southwest of Anchorage"

Now, I'd be concerned about a volcano erupting under a major flight path, but I'd like to be sure where that volcano is, first.
