We haven't had a big, climate-impacting eruption for a long while, have we?

There does seem to be more of a pattern develops to the swarm but the significance of that remains to be seen. I will target much further judgement until I hear from the experts at the IMO. Perhaps things are developing but the tremor data I am looking at do not really scream “eruption” http://hraun.vedur.is/ja/oroi/ask.gif


It is however, pardon the pun, a fluid situation.

Debatable as we currently have higher levels of stratospheric so2 thanks to two eruptions earlier in the year. The so2 has been causing volcanic sunsets across the globe (or at least northern hemisphere) for a few months now.

There is quite a significant earthquake swarm currently off the SW of Iceland at the Reykjanes ridge but at this time im not sure whether this one is tectonic or magmatic. Given the location I would say tectonic however there is a very large number of quakes so perhaps not.

White Island volcano in Bay of Plenty NE New Zealand erupted unexpectedly catching tourists unawares - one dead, 20-30 missing. Perhaps not quite unexpected as reports say that the tourist boats that go out there have to suspend operations from time to time.


https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-50708727


It's an active area - I remember from when I visited NZ a few years back an afternoon at Hot Springs beach, where you can dig a hole in the sand and create you own personal sauna as it fills with water

Confirmed death toll now up to 5, with others still missing.


Reports saying that there were a number of people walking around inside the crater just 'moments' before the eruption.


Also heard that volcanic activity on the island is monitored, but nothing particularly suggested an eruption was imminent.
