William Wilcock, a professor and marine geophysicist at the University of Washington, has said that the eruption
Might occur as early as tomorrow because the levels that scientists are monitoring are consistent with the numbers they observed in 2015, when the volcano last erupted.
He continued: “At the moment, there are a couple hundred earthquakes a day, but that’s still a lot less than we saw before the previous eruption.”
“I would say it was going to erupt sometime later (this year) or early 2026, but it could be tomorrow, because it’s completely unpredictable,” said the marine geophysicist.
The reputation of volcanic eruptions hasn’t been great since Pompeii, but even though this one might be massive,
Scientists say it is unlikely to directly affect people. In fact, some marine species might even benefit from the increased heat sources available.
