๐ Japan's Submerged Supervolcano Is Quietly Refilling With Magma
Scientists have discovered a vast magma reservoir beneath Japan's Kikai caldera โ a massive volcanic system mostly hidden under the East China Sea โ that appears to be filling again. The caldera last erupted about 7,300 years ago in one of the largest volcanic events of the Holocene, dramatically reshaping southern Japan. Researchers emphasize they are not predicting an imminent eruption, but the refilling is being closely monitored. How do you think scientists even detect something like this so far underground?
