800 years of dormancy Going to ruin someones day Oliver "Porky" Bickar is a legend



With no ground-based instruments nearby, AVO scientists used remote sensing (InSAR) to reveal inflation at Mount Edgecumbe (AK). InSAR & EQs suggest influx of magma at depth (no eruption imminent). Fieldwork & studies continue. #VolcanoWatch usgs.gov/observatories/…


Today's commute was beautiful we have finally broke through the Long Alaskan Night. I took this video today of Mount Edgecumbe near Sitka Alaska. It's a active volcano and only 13 miles from my back door directly across the water. #alaska #alaskaseaplanes #alaskanpatriotnetwork

Hundreds of small earthquakes have been reported near a volcano in southeast Alaska believed to have been dormant for at least 800 years. The cause of the quakes under Mount Edgecumbe isn't known. Officials say they may not indicate volcanic activity. apne.ws/eqTJpIJ
