“It is also possible that an eruption could occur with little or no additional warning,” the Alaska Volcano Observatory stated. “This would be extremely hazardous for recreators on Mount Spurr or near its drainages as well as those overflying the volcano.”

Alaska’s Mount Spurr, a volcano about 80 miles away from the state’s largest city, will “likely” erupt in the coming weeks or months for the first time in over 30 years,

Volcanologists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory have been monitoring volcanic unrest since April of last year.

Researchers predict the most likely outcome of the unrest at Mt. Spurr is “one or more explosive events” that could last as long as a few hours and produce ash clouds carried for hundreds of miles.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory has revealed that recent overflights of Mount Spurr, which is near Anchorage, found 'significantly elevated volcanic gas emissions'

Evidence of elevated volcanic activity indicate eruption of Alaska's Mount Spurr volcano could happen within weeks or months, federal officials say.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory on Wednesday said Mount Spurr is at risk of erupting within the next few weeks or months, potentially impacting residents 78 miles away in the city of Anchorage. “The increase in gas emissions confirms that new magma has intruded into the Earth’s crust beneath the volcano and indicates that an

In the shadow of Alaska's bustling city, Mount Spurr whispers of its ancient power. Elevated gas emissions suggest a restless giant beneath the surface.
