April 27[edit]
Active volcano near Luxembourg[edit]
Around the midpoint of this article (in a, granted, unreliable source), there's an infographic depicting seismicity in Europe (captioned "Greece, Italy and Turkey are regions particularly prone to earthquakes") via an earthquake hazard map interspersed with triangles marking active volcanoes. Does anyone know which volcano (if any) the northernmost point close to Benelux refers to? It appears to be too far north to be Kaiserstuhl. Daß Wölf 13:50, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- Pretty sure this is the Volcanic Eifel, probably more specifically the caldera of Laacher See, which last erupted 12,000 years ago, and shows periodic low levels of vulcanism to modern times. See also Eifel hotspot. --Jayron32 14:01, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, that seems to be in the right place, thanks! Daß Wölf 14:13, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
