Default OT Earthquakes and Tidal waves in Asia - eye witness accounts BBC


Isn't there a volcano on one of the canary islands that has a good
probability of collapsing into the atlantic and causing a tsunami?

Yes, the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma.

The book 'Apocalypse-A Natural History of Global Disasters' by Bill McGuire
(UCL), pub by Cassell ISBN 0304352098 makes sombre reading. Cumbre Vieja is
descibed in Ch.3

It cost £15 when I bought it in 2000, Amazon UK currently quote same price
but not sure how readily available it is. '2 available in US' at much higher
price.
