Apologies for not posting for a while now. Illness in the family has made more demands on our time than anticipated.

We have missed the eruptions of Mauna Loa and Kilauea, to name but two, and two catastrophic earthquakes: one in West Java in Indonesia and the other in Khost, Afghanistan.

Even when we are not posting, our thoughts remain with all those impacted by volcanic and seismic hazards.

Greetings of the season,

Armchair Volcanologist
