What you are looking at
The SPCR camera sits at about 975 m (3,200 feet) south of Mount Spurr, about 3.5 km (2 miles) southeast of Crater Peak, and looks north-northwest. On clear days, the frame shows Spurr's broad, snowy summit dome rising above dark, ash-dusted slopes and ridges in the foreground, with glaciers flowing down between them.
Crater Peak, the flank vent on Spurr's south side, produced ash eruptions in 1953 and 1992. In 2024 and 2025, rising earthquake activity and gas emissions led AVO to warn that a new eruption, likely from Crater Peak, was possible. This camera, close to the vent, helps observers see any new steam, ash or changes. Check the Alaska Volcano Observatory Spurr page for current information.
A fresh frame appears here about every ten minutes. Low winter sun lights the slopes warmly in the morning and afternoon, while summer shows more dark rock and ash. Clouds often build over the summit by midday. Tip: steam rising from Crater Peak is common, so compare with the AVO update before drawing conclusions.
