Volcanic Alert Level raised to Level 2: http://info.geonet.org.nz/display/volc/ ... to+Level+2

"Recent visits to the volcano have confirmed an increase in the output of volcanic gas from Mt Ruapehu’s Crater Lake. Moderate levels of volcanic tremor continue and the lake temperature measured by the outlet data logger is 45 ºC. The increase in gas output, the high lake temperature and continued seismicity suggest that Ruapehu is at a higher level of volcanic unrest. As a result, GNS scientists revise the Volcanic Alert Level to Level 2 (moderate to heightened unrest). The Aviation Colour Code is also changed, from Green to Yellow."

I live about two hour's drive from the Garrotxa, Catalunia, a highly volcanic region with over one hundred 'extinct' volcanoes. Experts say one can expect an eruption ever 10,000 years: the last was 13,000 years ago, so we are well overdue. There is a noticable smell of sulphur in the region, and earthquakes are increasing - so any time now..........

Does John Hill live anywhere near that volcano?
