🚨 SHISHALDIN VOLCANO ALERT RAISED – AUGUST 25, 2025 🚨 The Alaska Volcano Observatory has raised Shishaldin’s alert level to ADVISORY (YELLOW) after a surge in seismic tremors, infrasound, and sulfur dioxide gas. Steaming from the summit has intensified. These are the same signals recorded before the 2023 eruption that disrupted international flights. Shishaldin erupts with little warning. Flight paths and communities near Unimak Island are now on alert. #Shishaldin #AlaskaVolcano #VolcanoAlert

Continuing our anniversary posts marking 3 years of lava extrusion at #GreatSitkin, here’s a video collected Sept 3, 2023 by M. Loewen, showing the lava-ice contact and panning over to the active vent area. Alaska Volcano Observatory geologists were able to visit and sample Great Sitkin volcano’s active lava flow in September 2023. Analyses of these lavas shows that the composition is a fairly typical basaltic andesite. usgsvolcanoes USGS Volcanoes uafgi UAF Geophysical Institute Alaska DGGS #al

Last week, a AVO field crew got a chance to check on mud volcanoes that lie just east of Glennallen, across the Copper River valley and near Mount Drum. These mud volcanoes are created by hot magma deep below the surface heating rocks above. This fluid rises through the layers of rock, and carries mud and carbon dioxide to the surface. One of these mud volcanoes, Shrub, forms a 350-ft high cone. This year our field crews found a line of about 25 new small springs, ranging in size from about a ha

Earthquakes, ground deformation, and melting of ice in the summit crater of Mount Spurr are some of the observations that have resulted in the volcano’s current elevated alert status. This animation shows the earthquakes detected by AVO in the proximity of Spurr volcano from December 1, 2024, to February 11, 2025. The earthquakes are presented in (a) a top-down view, (b) a N-S transect, and (c) a E-W transect cutting across Mount Spurr summit. Each earthquake, sized by their magnitude, first app
