Alaska contains over 130 volcanoes and volcanic fields that have been active within the last two million years. Of these volcanoes, about 90 have been active within the last 10,000 years (and might be expected to erupt again), and more than 50 have been active within historical time (since about 1760).
Field crews from the Alaska Volcano Observatory are performing seasonal maintenance on seismic monitoring equipment at Aniakchak Volcano. Enough local stations have been brought online to locate volcanic earthquakes and detect any potential activity above background at the volcano.
