The eruption of a volcano in Russia's Kamchatka peninsula may be linked to a massive earthquake last week, experts say.

    I have to wonder if the melting ice, changing where the weight of the world’s water is, might have an impact on the frequency of earthquakes and volcanoes.

      Scientists have already proved that and are worried about volcanoes in Greenland and Antarctica.

    That’s sort of how volcanoes work? They don’t release the schedule, so you kinda have to be on your toes all the times. You know, hard times yada yada.

      Some volcanoes are kind enough to give you about a week heads up.

      But we also lack perspective. The volcanoes work in thousands, hundreds of thousands and millions of years. For them being a few years, or for the larger ones a few thousand years “early” or “late” is what for us are a few seconds to minutes.

    There are no threats to populated areas, Russia’s emergency ministry said.

    Which means nothing coming from the Russian state.

      Sure, but it really is extremely isolated. There are some tiny towns a bit over 100 km away and then it’s thousands of km to anywhere else. Volcanos rarely endanger more than 40 km around them.
