An Iranian volcano appears to have woken up — 700,000 years after its last eruption
SMRTR summary
Iran's Taftan volcano, dormant for 710,000 years, showed signs of awakening when ground near its summit rose 3.5 inches over 10 months, with gaseous emissions detectable 31 miles away. Researchers believe gas pressure buildup beneath the surface is causing the uplift, requiring increased monitoring despite no imminent eruption threat.
