Scientists are on high alert as Mount Spurr in Alaska shows signs of a potential explosive eruption.
The 11,000-foot volcano has been releasing elevated gas levels and experiencing increased seismic activity since April 2024.
With the volcano’s vents showing rising magma, experts warn of explosive eruptions that could send ash plumes up to 50,000 feet into the sky, potentially blanketing neighbouring town, Anchorage, Alaska, US.
While no fatalities were reported in the previous 1992 eruption, ash poses serious health risks as experts continue to monitor the situation closely.
