Quick Summary

Mount Spurr is a volcano located in Alaska, United States. It is part of the Aleutian Range, a chain of mountainous volcanic peaks stretching along the Alaska Peninsula and into the Aleutian Islands. This range is characterized by numerous volcanoes, with over 80 mapped, and about half of them have been active in the last three to four centuries. Mount Spurr itself erupted in 1954 and remains an active volcano. The Aleutian Range, along with other mountain systems in Alaska, forms a massive and spectacular mountain system in North America.1
