33 Years Later Massive Steam Plume Spotted at Alaska Mount Spurr as Volcano May Erupt Soon

When volcanoes burst, they bring havoc in a large part around that area. The smoke and ash extracted from them threatens the life of the creatures living there. At the same time, the lava, which burst from the volcano, burns everything around to ashes. Therefore, scientists constantly monitor the volcanoes. One such volcano seems to be active again in Alaska, USA. A large bubble of steam is seen coming out of Alaska’s mount spur. This indicates that the activity inside the volcano is increasing.

Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) some pictures of this mountain share Are of It shows that steam and gas are seen coming out of the summit and northern hole of the volcano. This volcano is present in the west of about 80 miles west of the ankorrhage and is 11,070 feet in height. Experts have reported that there may be an explosion inside the volcano in the coming weeks or months. However, nothing can be said to be strong right now.

AVO released an update on 11 March. In which there was an increase in gas emissions. This indicates that the fresh magma has gone into the layer below the mount spur. This assessed the possibility of explosion in the near future. The Observatory clarified that the exact time of any explosion could not be stated yet. The Observatory has warned that the level of warning can be increased if there is a signal of further increase in the volcano.

AVO says that its explosion may lead to possible consequences. This may include frequent seismic shocks, increase in gas emissions, etc. If the explosion is large then possible hazards can cause ash clouds affecting flights, ash rain may occur in the surrounding areas, as well as the flow of mud known as pyrocklastic flows and lahhar is included in these dangers. Earlier in the volcano, there was an explosion in 1992. Due to that explosion, a large amount of ash fell here and air services in the area were affected.
