Alaska has a lot of cool things—massive glaciers, endless wildlife, and enough fresh salmon to make a grizzly bear weep with joy. But let’s talk about one of its most dramatic features: its volcanoes. And right now, everyone’s got their eyes on Mount Spurr, which has been acting a little spicy lately. Does this mean you should cancel your Alaska vacation? Absolutely not. Should you bring a marshmallow on a stick just in case? Well, that’s up to you.

Mount Spurr, for those who don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of explosive mountains, is a stratovolcano about 70 miles west of Anchorage. It last erupted in 1992, sending a thick plume of ash soaring 65,000 feet into the sky—an impressive feat even by Alaska’s “everything is bigger” standards. The result? A light dusting of ash all over Anchorage, which, according to reports, made everything look slightly apocalyptic but also kind of cool. Before that, Spurr popped off in 1953, reminding everyone that yes, Alaska has more than just earthquakes to keep life interesting.

Now, scientists are keeping a close eye on Spurr because of increased seismic activity and other telltale signs that magma might be moving around under the surface. But before you start planning your “survive the eruption” TikTok content, let’s be real—volcanoes don’t run on a set schedule. Just because Spurr is making some noise doesn’t mean it’s going to blow its top anytime soon. In fact, there’s a very high chance that it’ll just keep grumbling for years without actually doing anything. Volcanoes are kind of like that one guy at the airport complaining about his flight delay—loud and dramatic, but ultimately not going anywhere fast.

So, if you’re planning a trip to Alaska, don’t even think about canceling. The chances of Spurr erupting exactly during your visit are about the same as spotting Bigfoot riding a moose through downtown Anchorage. Even if it did decide to let off some steam, it wouldn’t be a lava-spewing, city-engulfing Hollywood-style disaster. More likely, there’d be some ash in the air, which would be annoying for air travel but not the kind of thing that ruins an entire vacation.

In other words, pack your bags, book your tours, and get ready to see Alaska in all its glory. If Mount Spurr decides to put on a show, well, that’s just a little extra entertainment for your trip. And if it doesn’t? You still get to explore one of the most epic places on Earth, no volcanic drama required.
