Santorini Volcano Fills With Most Magma Since Last Eruption

Scientists say that the 2011 earthquake may have increased the chances of Mount Fuji erupting. The disaster caused a series of tremors around the mountain, including a magnitude 6.4 quake directly beneath it that caused a 20 meter-long crack in its side and put pressure on the volcano's magma chamber.

 

The volcano is active and if an eruption was to occur it would potentially threaten a vast area including Tokyo, 100 km (62 miles) away.

I don't think Fuji is much of a threat to Tokyo, it's too far away. Maybe some ashfall though.

JAKARTA: One of Indonesia's most active volcanoes has erupted again, spewing clouds of ash, an official said Monday.

isn't this year of significant activity ... so when will we face a big one?

Scientists examining 20 years of satellite data have found a sombrero-shaped bubble of magma 62 miles across - and, appropriately, located in South America.

The Altiplano-Puna plateau in the central Andes region is home to the largest active magma body in Earth's continental crust, and is known for a long history of massive volcanic eruptions.
