Volcanic ash can be found above the crater, around the volcano and even miles and miles away from the volcano, depending on the size of eruption. It will rise up into the sky and then either remain in the sky (for very fine ash particles) and be carried by high-altitude winds around for a certain period of time or fall to the ground almost immediately after the eruption.
