erienetuser Posted February 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I know it's a long shot, but Mt. Edgecumbe is showing signs of coming to life. If that would happen, would you be able to see it from the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Its right at the entrance to the bay that Sitka is in. If its active you should be able to see it...if its too active, you may not be able to go there. Easy to take a look on Google Maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Aurora Posted February 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2023 The Alaska Volcano Observatory (if you want to talk like an Alaskan just refer to it as the AVO) doesn't expect any imminent Mt. Edgecumbe eruption despite the series of earthquakes. It has been 4000 years since any major eruption. The AVO does a weekly update on Alaskan volcanos during the evening news on our local PBS station, and, while Pavlov and Cleveland are frequently mentioned, I have never noted any mention of Mt. Edgecumbe. If it ever did erupt you certainly would see it from a cruise ship. The April Fool's Day hoax referenced by @wolfie11 is still talked about in Sitka. Apparently it had the community highly excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
