It’s a little unsettling to think what nature can hand out just like that.

[Sir Gawain]

I blame man-made global warming for creating this volcano!

Canadian navy ship HMCS Toronto is conducting a search-and-rescue operation to find nine people believed at sea after a volcanic eruption on Jazirt Atta-Ir island, about 140 kilometres off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea.

Catastrophic?
Hundreds of feet in the air?

Can't muslims get anything even close to accurate?

[PA Engineer]

I think this is the island in the "Red Sea".

[onedoug]

Tectonics, without which none of us would be here to post about it.

[Quix]

It seems to me that I’ve read of a prediction of such a thing in the last week or two . . .

sort of generalized to the area but specific about a volcano . . . maybe some implication about Iran. I forget.

Anyone else see such an item?

[Thinkin' Gal]

This one?

Country: Yemen
Subregion Name: Red Sea
Volcano Number: 0201-01=
Volcano Type: Stratovolcano
Volcano Status: Historical
Last Known Eruption: 1883
Summit Elevation: 244 m 801 feet
Latitude: 15.55°N 15°33'0"N
Longitude: 41.82°E 41°49'0"E

The basaltic Jebel at Tair stratovolcano rises from a 1200 m depth in the south-central Red Sea, forming an oval-shaped island about 3 km long. Jebel at Tair is the northernmost known Holocene volcano in the Red Sea and lies SW of the Farisan Islands. Youthful basaltic pahoehoe lava flows from the steep-sided central vent, Jebel Duchan, cover most of the island. They drape a circular cliff cut by wave erosion of an older edifice and extend beyond it to form a flat coastal plain. Pyroclastic cones are located along the NW and southern coasts, and fumarolic activity occurs from two uneroded scoria cones at the summit. Radial fissures extend from the summit, some of which were the sources of lava flows. The island is of Holocene age, and explosive eruptions were reported in the 18th and 19th centuries.

OTTAWA - Canadian navy ship H-M-C-S Toronto is conducting a search-and-rescue operation to find nine people believed at sea after a volcanic eruption on Jazirt Atta-Ir island, about 140 kilometres off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea.

The navy said in a news release from Ottawa that at the time of the eruption, the NATO fleet was sailing north toward the Suez Canal.

Navy spokesman Ken Allen, aboard H-M-C-S Toronto, says the government of Yemen formally asked NATO to assist in the search for survivors.
