The Volcano factor

So yeah, the volcano thing. A few years ago NOAA filmed some

underwater volcanic explosions off the Oregon Coast. Maybe

you remember seeing it on the news or whatever. After

that there was a huge "dead zone" in quite a large area

adjacent to the volcanic activities. Could there be such a

area off of Edgecumbe? Does anyone know if there are

any undersea vents or venting going on from Edgecumbe?

Not to worry anyone, but I'm just asking.



Thanks,

There are underwater vents but I don't believe any of them are active. As I understand it Bird Island was formed from a underwater lava tube.

We are trying to keep things quiet while we sell our properties.

Looks like St Elias is about to blow her top too!
