British Columbia: Pending volcanic eruption linked to earthquakes

A headline in today's Globe and Mail caught my eye: Volcanic eruption may be linked to quakes.

Scientists with the Geological Survey of Canada are determining whether hundreds of small earthquakes near a remote volcano called the Nazko Cone are a sign of a pending volcanic eruption.

The Nazco Cone is in the small village of Nazco, located 75 km west of Quesnel, in the Cariboo region of British Columbia.
