"We're not out of the woods yet, by any means. There's still earthquakes happening at Mount Spurr."
"This sort of frustrating phase for probably a lot of people in the community that it's either ramping up or ramping down. We're just kind of holding steady."
Seismic activity at Mount Spurr in Alaska has surged, reaching about 100 events weekly, reminiscent of previous months when an eruption warning was issued. Although the chances of an eruption are diminishing, the Alaska Volcano Observatory maintains that the volcano is still in a heightened state of unrest. Local residents are preparing for contingencies, stocking food and protective gear. Seismologists note that the volcano hasn't erupted in 5,000 years, but its last side vent eruption occurred 30 years ago. Continuous monitoring will be essential as earthquake patterns evolve.
