The Alaska Volcano Observatory said signs indicated a Mount Spurr eruption was likely, though not certain, in the weeks or months ahead.

“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.”

A volcano near Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, could erupt in the 'next few weeks or months,' the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) has shared in a release.

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

Scientists from the Alaska Volcano Observatory have reported significant unrest at Mount Spurr, an 11,070-foot volcano located approximately 80 miles northwest of Anchorage, Alaska, indicating a potential eruption in the coming weeks or months,

Mount Spurr, located about 75 miles West of Anchorage, has been acting up in recent weeks, prompting officials at the U.S. Geological Survey and Alaska Volcano Observatory to issue a yellow alert. This yellow status means the volcano is exhibiting signs of "elevated unrest" compared to its usual activity, indicating that it may soon erupt.

Increased volcanic activity on Alaska's Mount Spurr volcano could lead to an eruption in the coming weeks or months, scientists say.

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.

A volcano near Alaska’s largest city is showing new signs of unrest, with experts saying the likelihood of an eruption at Mount Spurr in the next few weeks or months has increased.
