Active volcanos of Alaska playing cards

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.
