“It certainly appears that there’s magma moving at a shallow level beneath the volcanoes,” said Tim Orr of the USGS. “But it’s uncertain right now if they will erupt — or which one will erupt.”
Two western Aleutian volcanoes are showing signs of unrest, signaling the potential for an eruption in the coming days or weeks.
Due to the volcanoes’ remoteness and close proximity to one another, records of their historical eruptions aren’t perfectly clear. Tanaga’s last recorded eruption was in 1914. There are no recorded historical eruptions at Takawangha, but scientists say it’s possible some eruptions attributed to Tanaga may have actually come from Takawangha.
