Very simple answer... NO!

I’m not a scientist, or even interested in any way, shape or form about volcano’s. But I have read that this ‘super volcano’ only goes off every million years or so... So what are the chances this will happen anytime soon?

Slim to slimmer than none.

The end of the world is nigh...

That refrain has been on the lips of literally billions of humans over the past million years or so. And of course, the end is truly nigh for all of us. Nobody has lived forever, but for some reason many people are under this suspicion that they will be here when the final nigh has come. They won’t be.

Tell me a comet is heading towards us and then you can yell it to the top of your lungs. Until then, the human race is hanging in there and will be for some time to come. Small volcano’s, big ones, tidal waves... What the heck... Even nuclear war. Humans are the cockroaches of the animal kingdom and come hell or high water we will find a way to survive.

The last few eruptions have been roughly 600,000 to 700,000 years apart, and the last was 630,000 years ago.

If it erupts next year, it won't be early; if it erupts in 10,000 years, it won't be late.
