IN RECENT DAYS ALASKA VOLCANO Mount Spurr HAS SHOWN INCREASED THREAT OF AN EXPLOSIVE ERUPTION
Filmed today from the Anchorage Shores of Cook Inlet, the Alaska Range with its volcanoes are seen above the horizon and reflected in the ice-stilled ocean waters.
After panning briefly from the locale of Anchorage’s International Airport, the camera pauses and then zooms in on the tallest of the volcanoes, Mount Spurr. Mount Spurr according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory is now “likely to erupt within the next few weeks or months” in an explosion similar to the two times it erupted since 1953 when it covered Alaska’s largest city of Anchorage with volcanic ash.
This updated prediction is based upon an overflight viewing ten days ago on March 7, 2025 and a subsequent confirming flight on the 11th to view newly reactivated gas vents and ground deformations as well as to sample SO2 and CO2 Gas Emissions.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory reports based on those elevated gas emissions that, “The increase in gas emissions confirms that new magma has intruded into the earth’s crust beneath the volcano and indicates that an eruption is likely, but not certain, to occur within the next few weeks or months.”
This “likely” pronouncement elevates the 50-50 prediction of earlier this year. Notably in December the SO2 gas emissions were at 50 tons per day and the recent measurement came back at 450 tons per day!

YouTube Travel Personality featured my Contributions in Last Night's "Let's Go Travel" Broadcast - though you saw them here first!
Allison of the YouTube Channel “Let’s Go! Travel Tips” (which focuses on International Cruise Ship Travel) was kind enough to share with her some 26,000 Subscribers the Alaska Volcano Mount Spurr Photos and Video that I had taken and made available to her.
She also included in her narrative portions of my added commentary.

Supplementing my prior Alaska Volcano Mount Spurr postings, below is a link to a YouTube Playlist that includes scenes from yesterday that captured a rare ocean reflective phenomenon.
Listen to the enchanting sounds of complementing music including the theme from Titanic as you view these series of short videos capturing a "Made for Hollywood" setting, akin to the stilled icy waters that surrounded the floating Titanic survivors.
Captured in video is the rare phenomenon of the ocean waters so still that they mirror the clouds above which also shroud the Alaska Range with its steaming Volcano, Mount Spurr, that is readying to erupt..

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
[Robert Frost]
It was dusk and the hour was late, yet it would be another hour before we could proceed with the task at hand.
Earlier in the day we had mistakenly gone to Tastee Freez to take advantage of “Free Ice Cream Cone Day” only to realize that it was Dairy Queen that was offering the promotion. Instead we enjoyed lunch there without the added ice cream treat.
Now, later in the day, by chance we found ourselves a mile or less from Dairy Queen and we had an hour to kill.
Two routes diverged, one by walkway, the other by road,
We took the one less traveled - opting to walk rather than drive -
And that made all the difference.
Had we driven to Dairy Queen we would never have experienced this evening’s “Bunny Encounter.” While the interaction between us and the rabbit was brief, it was in another sense lasting, as we made a connection with nature that continued to remain with us adding joy to our day.
As the bunny scampered away and we went on our way, I reflected, and then commented, “There are so many things we can only experience by walking and which we miss by driving.”
The "task at hand," reluctantly (after some 38 years) having to replace our faithful GE Refrigerator manufactured in August of 1986 with a new Whirlpool Refrigerator with today's projected life expectancy for a new refrigerator limited to 12 years. (They don't make them like they used to do.)
And for good measure, the sunset as we drove home:

Fun with AI backgrounds for my new gold coin. A few of them came out nice🌜🌞🌛
Do any of them stand out as especially nice to you? If so, I might make one into a template for gold coins.

AND THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE [FOR YESTERDAY]
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

And that has made all the difference.

It was dusk and the hour was late, yet it would be another hour before we could proceed with the task at hand.
Earlier in the day we had mistakenly gone to Tastee Freez to take advantage of “Free Ice Cream Cone Day” only to realize that it was Dairy Queen that was offering the promotion. Instead we enjoyed lunch there without the added ice cream treat.

Had we driven to Dairy Queen we would never have experienced this evening’s “Bunny Encounter.” While the interaction between us and the rabbit was brief, it was in another sense lasting, as we made a connection with nature that continued to remain with us adding joy to our day.
As the bunny scampered away and we went on our way, I reflected, and then commented, “There are so many things we can only experience by walking and which we miss by driving.”
