This image of #Putauaki Maunga (Mount #Edgecumbe), the volcano to the east of #Kawerau is floating about.
Locals claim the circled line is new.
Some say it's caused by boulders careening down the slope, but that doesn't explain the lateral portions, or the apparent symmetry to the left.
Flank collapse is not impossible.

Most of the time when we hear about #Alaska #volcano activity, it's in the Aleutian Islands chain or Alaska Peninsula. Mt #Edgecumbe is 15mi/24km west of Sitka in the panhandle. Unrest (quakes & uplift) are reason to be alert, but doesn't necessarily mean it will erupt.
