Mt. Edgecumbe volcano eruption?

[erienetuser]

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?

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.

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.
