After thousands of earthquakes occurred in a single day, it appears that one of Canada's volcanoes is about to produce a new eruption. Luckily, this will occur far away from any people more than 200 kilometers offshore of Vancouver Island. There, what is known as the Endeavour Segment is likely to erupt in the next few days to weeks, potentially spilling volumes of lava onto the ocean floor.

Note: The Endeavour Seamount volcano is not currently erupting, but this could change in the upcoming weeks. This video's thumbnail image displays what a portion of its next eruption might look like.
