Smoke has been spotted coming from the top of Alaska’s Shishaldin volcano, with lava “likely present” after increased volcanic activity from the summit.<br /><br />The Alaska Volcano Observatory has said this occurred after changes in surface temperature.<br /><br />Located on Unimak Island in the Eastern Aleutians, Shishaldin has seen intermittent tremors gradually increase in volume and consistency around the summit.<br /><br />In response, the AVO has raised the alert level for Shishaldin to “Watch”. It went on to say that this is not an indication that an eruption will occur.<br /><br />Shishaldin last erupted in 2020, when lava was seen flowing outside the summit.
