They have had twelve sizeable earthquakes near Kokopo in the last 30 days, according to the usgs site.
The volcanoes in Rabaul may be getting ready to let go.
Worth keeping an eye on.

Since March, this is the 5th quite big earthquake in Papua New Guinea:

March 16 2015 - 6,3 quake
March 30 2015 - 7,7 quake
April 30 2015 - 6.9 quake
May 1st 2015 - 7.1 quake

The concern is also that Papua New Guinea is home to a long list of active and (for now) inactive volcanoes:

I just don't think it is a good idea for that place to be populated at this time :shock:

Speaking of earthquakes and volcanic activity, I used Sott's Worldview to see the combined activity since the beginning of the year till now (Jan. 1st - May 5th 2015) around the world:


It does show a pattern and also a very strong activity for just 4 full months plus a few days!

Just saw your post MusicMan.

Hi Alana, the worldview showed an 'ERROR: Invalid parameter message' when I tried to see it.

Just in case others can't see it, here's the graph -

Thank you Treesparrow, I didn't notice the error the first time I posted it. I think I fixed it now :)
