“The main risks to Alaska residents due to the spurre would be the Aviation ashes risk And the possible fall of ashes, “the observatory said in a message posted on Wednesday in X.
According to experts, the eruption would cause volcanic mud flows and pyroclastic flowswhich are hot and fast ash flows, volcanic rocks and gas.
The observatory indicated that pyroclastic flows would affect the surrounding areas. Volcanic mud flows represent a minimum risk due to the absence of inhabited areas in the area.
“Anyone who is considering visiting the Spuro area must be aware of these dangers, keep up with the activity of Spuro by subscribing to Volcano notification service and obey any restriction that land and emergency administrators can implement, “says the publication.
The Observatory says that the moment, the location and duration of the impacts They depend on the weather and the size and duration of the eruption.
The Alaska volcano observatory website states that the eruptions of 1953 and 1992 were explosive. In the eruption of 1953, a single and powerful explosion of approximately one hour created a column of 9,100 meters high.
In 1992, the eruption of the volcano caused three explosions in June, August and September. The smoke column of the first reached the 14,500 metersand the second caused the closure of Anchorage airport for 20 hours.
