Ethiopia Volcano Update; Dofen May Have Erupted, Continued Unrest
Significant volcanic unrest is still ongoing between the Fentale and Dofen volcanoes in Ethiopia which is related to a massive 35 kilometer long shallow dike of magma. While this unrest has declined during the last few days, it is still ongoing, and there is a debate as to whether a series of explosions witnessed on the southern flanks of the Dofen volcano represented an actual phreatic volcanic eruption. This video will discuss the ongoing situation, its similarity to ongoing activity in Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula, and how the Fentale volcano experienced nearly the same series of events 215 years ago.

"The pavilion design draws on and “bastardizes” the widely deployed bamboo scaffolding traditionally used for oyster cultivation. When in use, local fishermen bring small groups of visitors from Angsila to the pavilion, where they can handpick oysters pulled from the ocean below, which are then prepared fresh to eat …a sea-to-table dining experience in a remarkable coastal setting."

In pursuit of a modern capital, Ethiopian leader razes history
"But for the thousands of people across Addis whose houses and businesses have been destroyed, the campaign to build a 21st-century metropolis here often feels more like a vanity project than like an effort to make life better for its inhabitants."
The 'earliest #earthquake recorded in #Ethiopia' dates to 1432, the year Zara Yaqob became king.
"There was an earth tremors & a total solar eclipse..." now identified as Eclipse 6286 in Oppolzer's classification.
A 17th-century manuscript 'Compendium of History; Chronicles of #Ethiopia', Or 821 (page 472-2) now in British Library recorded on 30 June; earth tremors were felt near Gonder Dembia, north of Lake Tana.
