Volcano

In an undated photo provided by Wyatt Mayo/Alaska Volcano Observatory shows Mount Spurr, in October, which is being monitored for signs that it is moving closer to erupting. A spending freeze could disrupt systems that warn communities when eruptions appear imminent. (Wyatt Mayo/Alaska Volcano Observatory, U.S. Geological Survey via The New York Times)

Spurr in spotlight as volcano shows signs of possible eruption

The volcano erupted in 1992 and 1953.

 

This photo provided by the Alaska Volcano Observatory/U.S. Geological Survey shows the east flank of Takawangha Volcano near Adak, Alaska, on June 10, 2021. Not one but two volcanoes on the same island in Alaska are showing signs of unrest. A swarm of earthquakes occurring since late February 2023 has intensified, a possible indication of an impending eruption. (Matt Loewen/Alaska Volcano Observatory/U.S. Geological Survey via AP)

Quake swarms at neighboring Alaska volcanoes raise concerns

Elevated earthquake activity was reported at both Tanaga and Takawangha volcanoes

 

In this photo provided by the Alaska Volcano Observatory/U.S. Geological Survey is the Tanaga Volcano near Adak, Alaska, on May 23, 2021. A swarm of earthquakes occurring over the past few weeks has intensified at a remote Alaska volcano dormant for over a century, a possible indication of an impending eruption. The Alaska Volcano Observatory raised the alert level to advisory status for Tanaga Volcano late Tuesday, March 7, 2023, after the quakes became very vigorous.
