There have been about 1,500 small earthquakes below the volcano this year, compared to about 100 in a normal year, according to Observatory Scientist David Fee.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory warns that another eruption could severely disrupt the city, but currently, there is no data indicating an imminent eruption.
