Growing fears that huge North Korean volcano will soon erupt
Concern is growing about a possible eruption of Mt. Baekdu, the highest mountain on the Korean Peninsula, says this article by Park Chang-seok.
A South Korean geological expert has warned that the volcano – which last erupted in 1702 – could erupt sometime around 2014 and 2015.
If the volcano, located on the border between North Korea and China erupts, damage could be 10 to 100 times greater than that caused by the April 2010 eruptions in Iceland.
One of the largest known eruptions in the past 10,000 years occurred at Baitoushan Volcano (Mt. Baekdu) around 1000 A.D., depositing erupted material as far away as northern Japan – a distance of approximately 1,200 kilometers.
Sometimes billed as the largest eruption in the history of mankind, the eruption of the 2,744 meter-high mountain was about 50 times stronger than that of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. which buried and destroyed the Italian city Pompeii.
That eruption also created the 4.5-kilometer-diameter, 850-meter-deep summit caldera now filled with the waters of Lake Tianchi.
Experts predict that ash from a new eruption would severely damage the Korean Peninsula, China, Japan and Russia.
