    The original paper is a neat enough read. Lots of math explaining what they know and what they’re extrapolating.

    Mostly though, it’s been moving for 50 years. It could erupt tomorrow. Or in a century. Or never. The press release at least mentions the possibility of it settling into a slow rise/fall cycle.

    Neat read either way.

    Feels like a super volcano is due to erupt every few years 🤔
