Supervolcanoes: Not a Threat For 2012

Credit: National Park Service. The geological record holds clues that throughout Earth's 4.5-billion-year lifetime massive supervolcanoes, far larger than Mount St. Helens or Mount Pinatubo, have erupted. However, despite the claims of those who fear 2012, there’s no evidence that such a supereruption is imminent. What exactly is a "supervolcano" or a "supereruption? " It’s hard to comprehend an eruption of that scope, but Earth’s surface has preserved distinctive clues of many massive supereruptions. The eruption of these prehistoric supervolcanoes has affected massive areas. Volcanologists continue to seek answers to many unanswered questions about supervolcanoes.

The most recent supereruption occurred in New Zealand about 26,000 years ago. That may sound like a large number. USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) Mount Etna Volcano, Italy: Map, Facts, Eruption Pictures. Mount Etna: Introduction Mount Etna is Europe's highest and most active volcano.

Mount Etna Volcano, Italy: Map, Facts, Eruption Pictures

Towering above the city of Catania on the island of Sicily, it has been growing for about 500,000 years and is in the midst of a series of eruptions that began in 2001. It has experienced a variety of eruption styles, including violent explosions and voluminous lava flows. More than 25% of Sicily's population lives on Etna's slopes, and it is the main source of income for the island, both from agriculture (due to its rich volcanic soil) and tourism.

Mount Etna: Plate Tectonic Setting Mount Etna is associated with the subduction of the African plate under the Eurasian plate, which also produced Vesuvius and Campi Flegrei, but is part of a different volcanic arc (the Calabrian rather than Campanian). Mount Etna: Eruption History Etna's eruptions have been documented since 1500 BC, when phreatomagmatic eruptions drove people living in the eastern part of the island to migrate to its western end.

Not all the websites listed provide real-time information or even regular bulletins, some provide hardly any information at all, some break down from time to time and disappear completely, others are rarely updated, still others (a lot of them, actually) are just ugly and badly organized. However, one must work with what one has. No guarantees can be given of the comprehensiveness of this list, nor, despite every reasonable effort being made, of accuracy. No responsibility can be accepted by The Volcanism Blog for the accuracy of the information on this page, and if you need information from any observatory, particularly in an emergency situation, you should confirm the correct contact details independently.
