close Video Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupts again Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano started to erupt inside its summit crater. (EpicLava) A new study has uncovered a previously undetected magma chamber beneath Kolumbo, an active submarine volcano in the Mediterranean Sea near Santorini, Greece. A group of international researchers used a novel imaging technique for volcanoes that produces high-resolution images of seismic wave properties, according to a Jan. 12 release from the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The study was published in the AGU journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, and the authors noted that the presence of the chamber "poses a serious hazard as it could produce a highly explosive, tsunamigenic eruption in the near future." Researchers are recommending real-time hazard monitoring stations near other active submarine volcanoes to improve estimations of when an eruption might be likely to occur.

A young woman sits alone in a cafe in Paris. How lucky she is, you might think if you happened past, to have her life ahead of her, to be free in this lovely spot in this most romantic of cities. But people are seldom who we imagine them to be. The stories we assume for them are not the stories they tell themselves. Nunu, the narrator of Aysegul Savas’s delicate, melancholy debut novel, “Walking on the Ceiling,” does not feel bold or playful or sophisticated as she sips her coffee in Paris; she feels invisible, bereft. “I wondered how it was that people knew what to do,” she says, thinking about her fellow diners. “Small things, I mean. The rituals of a day. The hours.” Nunu has come to France to study literature after the death of her mother back home in Istanbul. Like a snail curling fearfully into its shell, she is receding from the world. Her isolation is the kind peculiar to big cities, magnified because she is estranged — from the world around her and also from herself.
