Alaska Volcano May Erupt In Days

Alaska volcano may erupt in days

A volcano in south-central Alaska could erupt within days or weeks. The level of seismic activity has increased markedly in recent days on Mount Redoubt, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory. "We expect based on the past behavior of this volcano that this activity is going to culminate in an eruption," said Peter Cervelli, a research geophysicist with the observatory.
