Violent Supervolcano in Southern Hemisphere Appears to Be Rumbling Back to Life

A supervolcano has had its alert level increased in the wake of 700 earthquakes occurring nearby.

Taupo volcano, which is a supervolcano situated underneath New Zealand's largest lake, Lake Taupō, had its Volcanic Alert Level (VAL) increased from 0 to 1 on September 20. Level 1 indicates minor volcanic unrest, according to GeoNet, a geological hazard agency in New Zealand.

Lake Taupo; sits within the giant caldera of a supervolcano on New Zealand's North Island, roughly six miles above the magma chamber. The volcano has erupted 25 times in the last 12,000 years, most recently in the year A.D. 232, resulting in the largest and most violent eruption on Earth in the past 5,000 years.
