Alaska's 52 active volcanoes are now immortalized on a deck of playing cards that you can buy from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys in Fairbanks. Each card has a photo of a different active volcano on it, with color coded dots showing the status. The color codes are:
Red – documented eruption
Orange – suspected eruption
Dark blue – fumaroles, measured at or near boiling point
Light blue – fumaroles, unknown temperature
Green – deformation
Yellow – earthquake swarm
Orders or inquiries can be sent to dggspubs@dnr.state.ak.us. Each deck is $6.
