Pretty neat. Iwo Jima is actually a large Caldera that has uplifted over 130 feet since 1779 (makes the bulging at Yellowstone look like a joke) but Iwo Jima itself has never had anything but tiny eruptions.


There was a similar submarine eruption offshore in 2001.

Has there been any unusual seismicity reported?

Now haw does a submarine erupt? A bunch of angry sailors perhaps???
