Spurr volcano, Alaska: unrest ceases, alert lowered back to normal

Over the past several months, signs of volcanic unrest at Mount Spurr—including small earthquakes, gas emissions, melting ice, and surface changes—have been gradually decreasing. No ground deformation has been detected since March 2025.
Taken together, this means that the movement of magma toward the surface, which began in early 2024, has stopped. As a result, the chances of an eruption in the near-term are now considered extremely low.
Because of this, the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) is lowering the Aviation Color Code to GREEN and the Volcano Alert Level to NORMAL, indicating that the volcano is currently quiet.

Small earthquakes are still occurring more frequently than before the unrest began in February 2024, and volcanic gases are still being released from the summit crater and the Crater Peak vent on the south flank of the volcano. This is normal
