ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The likelihood that Mount Spurr, the closest active volcano to Anchorage, will erupt is increasing, with scientists now saying an eruption is “likely” within weeks or months.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory said Thursday that decreased earthquake activity and ground deformation around Spurr point to a less likely eruption. But more data is needed to be sure.

An eruption is possible at Alaska's Mount Spurr. There would likely be increased signs leading up to the eruption, like raised water temperatures and melted snow and glaciers.
