While a powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Ishinomaki, Japan, a city located just 65 miles (104 km) from Fukushima, on Saturday, there was a more notable volcanic eruption in southwestern Iceland near the capital Reykjavik on Friday night.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, we published two notes (see:\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0here<\/a>)<\/em>\u00a0informing readers about the more than 34,000 quakes that have been recorded on the Reykjanes Peninsula in recent weeks. On Mar. 4, we wrote:\u00a0such “quake activity has previously preceded volcanic eruptions.”<\/em>\u00a0By Mar. 14, the quakes worsened as the country was put on\u00a0“high alert”<\/em>\u00a0for the next volcanic eruption.<\/p>\n
