It is officially classified as a dormant volcano with no eruptions in there era of man. There is magma there. There are some steam vents but these have been there for ever. Unbiased climatologists note from the ice core samples that this level of ice has been seen on Mt Kil before...although it was 10K+ years ago.
But...on the scale of the geological record...10K years is a blink.

I walked down into the approach of a volcano in Japan in the 1950s as a pre teen with my mom and dad. The mountain was supposed to be “asleep.” Sulfurous gas was everywhere. We could smell it on our clothes after we arrived home in Yokohama.
