What seems to be going on now is a volcanic earthquake activity. There is no magma signature at the moment because magma has not started to flow to the surface. It remains a question if it is just a question of time now if that happens. There is no documented eruption history in this area and that makes everything little bit more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>This article is going to be updated if needed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Article updated at 16:22 UTC.
