Azores Volcano Update; Terceira Volcano Earthquake Swarm

The alert level of the Terceira volcano in the Azores is at a raised alert level. This is due to an ever-increasing number of earthquakes underneath the western section of the Santa Barbara volcanic edifice, several of which are large enough to be felt by the island's populace, including a magnitude 3.6 quake. This video discusses the ongoing situation at the Terceira volcano and what might happen next.
