Scientists at Mount Spurr in Alaska have been unable to collect vital volcanic data for over a month as the area experiences “elevated” levels of earthquakes — but authorities claim an eruption is less likely than previously projected. The 11,000-foot-tall active volcano Mount Spurr, about 80 miles west of Anchorage, has experienced 22 earthquakes since April 10, leaving scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory unable to harvest accurate data on volcanic gas levels due to weather conditions, according to the agency. “Based on the recent modest changes in monitoring data and the inability to measure gas for the last month, the outcome of the current unrest is less certain,” AVO wrote in a release.
