Being classified as “historically active” doesn’t mean that Mt. Edgecumbe is about to erupt. Rather, the volcano is going to get more attention now from scientists.
A lot of people in Sitka have become used to describing Mt. Edgecumbe as “dormant,” but that term really isn’t used by geologists.
Mt. Edgecumbe was formerly known as a “Holocene” volcano because the geologic evidence of its last major eruption dates from the Holocene era, around 12,000 years ago. The AVO now classifies Mt. Edgecumbe as “historically active.” There are more than 50 “historically active” volcanoes in Alaska.
