There are few things more metal than a volcano erupting, and Alaska’s Mount Redoubt is about to do just that:

Mount Redoubt, the Alaskan volcano expected to erupt at any time, is getting a bit more edgy.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory said in a statement Friday “volcanic tremor” has increased in “amplitude.”

The activity on the 10,197-foot peak is “more energetic than that of the previous several days. However, it is still less vigorous than that observed last weekend,” the observatory said.

Peter Cervelli, a research geophysicist with the observatory, told CNN that “every indication is that we’re heading toward an eruption.”

Cervelli said scientists don’t know exactly when it will happen, but if it does happen, it could be days or weeks — or even hours.

“I would not be surprised to see it erupt at anytime,” Cervelli said. “We’re going to know it when we see it.”

This is the sort of news story that you can’t trust to the journalistic hacks over at CNN. While they don’t apreciate the utter awesomeness of a volcanic eruption, we here at SAVSCI do. Ask yourself this: where am I most likely to find eruption footage accompanied by the music of Amon Amarth? Which news outlet is most likely to embellish the volcano footage with outtakes from “Godzilla” movies just to make it more righteous? We rest our case…so in this time of global volcanic uncertainty make THE SAVAGE SCIENCE your volcano news headquarters.

We’re trying to track down a live webcam feed from the volcano. The Mount Redoubt official info usually has one, but the high server load has forced it offline. Which begs this question, “what good is it to have a webcam of the volcano if its not going to be available when something actually happens?”

Here’s a collection of Alaska Mountain webcams

Until we can track down a working webcam in Alaska, here’s Oregon’s favorite active volcano Mount St. Helens.

While the volcano bureaucracy in Alaska clearly doesn’t take their work seriously, we here at THE SAVAGE SCIENCE do. In light of that, we spared no expense to have our team of scientists come up with this dramatization of what to expect when the volcano does erupt. Of course no one knows exactly when it’ll blow, but when it does it’ll look a lot like this:
