Volcanoes Erupting All Over

Hi axj, others might know better, so just my two cents: I'd advise to keep an eye on any events happening in the Canary Islands. When there are clear signs to move, you could network here and perhaps move elsewhere. I agree with others that where we are doesn't matter and it's difficult to know where exactly the danger zones will be, but it can be helpful to regularly check for developments (unless you're already doing that!). For example, a search on Sott.net revealed the following events in the Canary Islands:
- A massive sandstorm in Feb this year
- Huge waterspout last year
- Last year, a report came out that said that seismic activity has soared 360% since 2016
Note the following in the article:
- Two years ago: Waves up to six metres high caused a considerable amount of damage
- Two years ago: Fears growing over possible eruption of Canary Island's Mount Teide, nearly 300 earthquakes have shaken the island within 10 days
- Three years ago: Scientists on alert as underwater volcano Tagoro in the Canary Islands bursts into life
So, I would particularly keep an eye on these earthquakes and possible volcano eruptions. It might also be helpful to have a plan in mind when things do get to a dangerous level, such as places you could go to. No need to panic, though! Just keep an eye open on any noteworthy signs. Hope this helps, perhaps others will have a better idea on the possible danger level in that region.

Also this month:
- Mt. Sinabung in Indonesia erupts yet again, spewing ash 2,000 meters high
- Another major eruption forces evacuations from around Mount Sinabung in Indonesia
- Deep M6.9 earthquake strikes Banda Sea off Indonesia
- Twin shallow 6.8 & 6.9 magnitude earthquakes strike Indonesia

https://watchers.news/2020/09/20/sangay-eruption-ecuador-september-20-2020/ said:A major eruption started at Ecuador's Sangay volcano at 09:20 UTC (04:20 LT) on September 20, 2020. According to the Washington VAAC, volcanic ash rose to 12.2 km (40 000 feet) above sea level, moving W at 18 - 28 km/h (11 - 17 mph). Heavy ashfall was reported in provinces west of the volcano.

Spectacular lightning and thunder on the evening of 21 September 2020 in the area of #Etna (which is in eruption at the same time, but veiled in thick cloud). View is from home in Tremestieri Etneo, on the south flank of the volcano.
We have entered the 25th solar cycle! Maximum activity is expected to be reached in July 2025. Let's talk about it here -☛https://facebook.com/INGVambiente/p

Remarkably well preserved glassified brain cells have been discovered in the remains of a young man who perished in the eruption of famous volcano Mount Vesuvius back in 79 AD, which at the time famously destroyed the major Ancient Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, and Stabiae in Southern Italy.
The best known eruption of the Mount Vesuvius volcano nearly 2,000 years ago buried Pompeii, Herculaneum, and other nearby settlements under a thick layer of ash and volcanic fragments, preserving them more or less intact, and offering an incredible glimpse into the life of Ancient Roman society at the time.
The most famous victim of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the city of Pompeii, is estimated to have had a population of 20,000 people.
Nearby Herculaneum was a smaller town. However, it is believed to have been wealthier and a popular seaside resort for the Roman elite.
Not unlike Pompeii, Vesuvius’ eruption covered Herculaneum in a toxic layer of volcanic ash, gases and lava flow which then turned to stone, encasing the city, allowing an extraordinary degree of frozen-in-time preservation both of city structures and of residents who were unable to run away.
The exceptionally well-preserved brain cells have been found in the remains of a young man, around 20 years of age, who was killed in Herculaneum by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, reveals an Italian study published in US peer-reviewed academic journal PLOS ONE.
The Italian researchers have found the preserved neuronal structures in vitrified or frozen form as part of the remains of a 79 AD Mount Vesuvius eruption victim, which themselves were discovered in the 1960s on a wooden bed in Herculaneum.

“The study of vitrified tissue as the one we found at Herculaneum… may save lives in future,” study lead author Pier Paolo Petrone, forensic anthropologist at Naples’ University Federico II, says, as cited by AFP and France24.
“The experimentation continues on several research fields, and the data and information we are obtaining will allow us to clarify other and newer aspects of what happened 2000 years ago during the most famous eruption of Vesuvius,” Petrone adds.
In the study, the Italian researcher explains that the extreme heat of the volcano eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the ensuing rapid cooling turned the brain material of the young Ancient Roman man from Herculaneum into a glassy material, freezing the neuronal structures and leaving them intact.
“The evidence of a rapid drop of temperature – witnessed by the vitrified brain tissue – is a unique feature of the volcanic processes occurring during the eruption, as it could provide relevant information for possible interventions by civil protection authorities during the initial stages of a future eruption,” Petrone writes.
While the Italian researchers investigated the Ancient Roman organic material, they succeeded in obtaining unprecedented high resolution imagery using scanning electron microscopy and advanced image processing tools.
The post-eruption preservation kept the cellular structure of the Vesuvius victim’s central nervous system.
They have taken seized the opportunity “to study possibly the best known example in archaeology of extraordinarily well-preserved human neuronal tissue from the brain and spinal cord."
The devastation caused by the eruption of the Mount Vesuvius volcano in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and their region is known from the eyewitness account of Roman poet and administrator Pliny the Younger (61 – ca. 113 AD), and occurred some time after October 17, 79.
