On August 11, the Alaska Volcano Observatory, part of the U.S. Geological Survey, announced persistent volcanic activity at three volcanoes in Alaska. Great Sitkin is currently at a WATCH status, assigned an ORANGE aviation code, due to a gradual lava eruption occurring within its summit crater. Kupreanof is under an ADVISORY status with a YELLOW aviation code, following the detection of minor earthquakes and sulfur dioxide emissions. Shishaldin remains at an ADVISORY level, showcasing seismic and infrasound activity, as well as summit steaming and sulfur dioxide output. The current eruption at Great Sitkin commenced in July 2021, with ongoing monitoring performed through seismic sensors, satellite imagery, webcams, and various other systems.

Transcript
00:00A new update from Alaska is putting three volcanoes under close watch.
00:04The U.S. Geological Survey says volcanic activity continues at Great Sitkin, Kupriyanov, and Shishaldin.
00:11At Great Sitkin, slow lava is still erupting inside the summit crater.
00:16The volcano remains at watch, with an orange aviation color code.
00:20Minor earthquakes were detected, likely linked to rockfall on a growing lava dome.
00:26Great Sitkin's current eruption began in July 2021 and has filled most of its summit crater.
00:32At Mount Kupriyanov, low-level earthquakes continued, and sulfur dioxide was detected by satellites.
00:39Kupriyanov remains at advisory, with a yellow aviation color code.
00:43Shishaldin is also under advisory, with seismic activity, summit steaming, and sulfur dioxide emissions.
00:50Officials say there have been no explosions at Great Sitkin since May 2021.
00:55The volcanoes remain closely monitored using seismic sensors, satellites, webcams, and other systems as activity continues.
