Scientists monitor Mount Spurr volcano near Anchorage due to increased earthquake activity.

Earthquake activity under Mount Spurr, an Alaskan volcano 80 miles from Anchorage, has risen, raising concerns. The volcano last erupted in 1992, causing ash clouds that disrupted flights. This year, there have been about 1,500 small earthquakes, compared to 100 in a normal year. While there are no signs of an imminent eruption, scientists are closely monitoring the volcano for any changes that could indicate an impending event.
