[Friends just call me Ross]

While I was off getting my second dose of Moderna, 19 more big quakes were reported:

This 6.6 quake was reported in the New Zealand region.

 

 

Then, a few hours later, this 6.1 was reported:

 

 

Both quakes have since been removed from the report with no explanations given.

Mt Etna hasn’t stopped! 🌋

 

Sweeping balconies of black dust has become a regular event for the thousands who live in the towns around Etna.
Every roof, terrace, porch, veranda and geranium-adorned balustrade has turned black. Even gardens are barely green any more.

Looks pretty....dangerous - Friday March 12

 

The 12th paroxysm from Etna's New SE crater in less than a month occurred during the morning today, as had been expected since the early hours when activity started to pick up. It was particularly powerful and rather long-lasting, marking the 12th such event in a row.

 

SO2 plumes from Etna travel as far as China

Update Thu 11 Mar 2021 07:58

Satellite-based measurements of SO2 concentrations in the atmosphere show the impressive SO2 plumes ejected by Etna during its recent paroxysms traveling as far as China (see link on Twitter)

I know what you mean, Lucy.  When I first saw that photo, I thought 'That has got to be one of the prettiest pictures of a volcanic eruption I have ever seen.'

 

Kind of like our snow, here in Michigan.  It's pretty--when it isn't making highways slick...and causing

deadly car crashes.

The activity in Etna continues.  I cannot imagine how the people are living under a rain of lapilli (pea to walnut size lava material).  This is a video from the town next to my father's.

A near 7.0 just hit off the Russian coast.

The energy released from this quake was equivalent to 21 atomic bombs exploding.

A volcano has erupted south-west of Iceland's capital Reykjavik, the country's meteorological office says.
It says the fissure is about 500-700 metres long (1,640-2,300ft) at Fagradalsfjall on Reykjanes peninsula. The last eruption there was some 800 years ago.
Iceland has recorded more than 40,000 earthquakes in the past three weeks.

It struck in a field, but was 32 miles down.

This area was totally devastated in the 2011 tsunami. I was reading how the people evacuated immediately up to the hills because it still haunts them. Luckily the tsunami warning was called off an hour later. 
 

I had planned to visit this part of Japan last April but coronavirus scuttled everyone’s plans last year.
