What you are looking at
This second preset of the SPCL pan-tilt camera, at about 1,280 m (4,200 feet) on Mount Spurr, points north-northeast toward the main summit of Spurr, about 12 km (7.5 miles) away. On clear days the frame shows the broad, glacier-covered summit dome and rugged ridges below it; on cloudy days the camera can be completely enveloped in gray.
Mount Spurr is a large, ice-covered volcano about 125 km (80 miles) west of Anchorage. Its summit area has had warm ground, a crater lake that formed in 2004 and steaming since, while its flank vent, Crater Peak, has produced the eruptions of 1953 and 1992. The unrest that began in 2024 was centered beneath the summit area. The Alaska Volcano Observatory Spurr page posts current alert levels.
Expect a new still roughly every ten minutes. Clouds often wrap the upper mountain, especially in summer; cold, clear winter days give the sharpest views. Watch for steam rising from the summit area. Tip: switch to the Crater Peak preset from the same camera to see the vent most likely to erupt.
