Mount Spurr, an Alaskan volcano located 81 miles from Anchorage, has experienced over 28 earthquakes in two days, indicating potential eruption activity. Scientists observe volcanic activity since April 2024, noting rising magma and gas emissions. Locals have captured footage of vapor from the summit. The Alaska Volcano Observatory warns of possible explosions that could release ash clouds affecting Anchorage, prompting residents to stockpile essentials for potential eruption. Despite ongoing unrest, no imminent eruption indicators have been confirmed, though communities are preparing for possible fallout from explosive activity.
Over the past 48 hours, 28 small, shallow earthquakes have been detected beneath the volcano. Experts believe this could be a sign that new magma is rising closer to the surface.
If the volcano does erupt, it would be explosive, spewing multiple plumes of ash rising as high as 50,000 feet into the air, with clouds potentially blanketing Anchorage.
