Scientists warn that Mount Spurr, one of America’s most dangerous volcanoes, may erupt soon.
Located 80 miles west of Anchorage, Alaska, the volcano has shown signs of increased activity, with experts predicting an eruption could happen within weeks or months.
Why is an eruption expected?
Experts say Mount Spurr is showing all the typical signs of an impending eruption, including seismic activity and volcanic gas emissions. “All four indicators are present,” said Matt Haney of the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
When will it erupt?
While the exact timing is unclear, scientists believe an eruption is more likely than not. The volcano is currently at a Level Yellow alert, indicating increased unrest but no immediate danger.
