The Taftan Volcano has awakened after 710,000 years! How do scientists evaluate this situation?

Dr. Pablo González, leading a team from the Spanish National Research Council, stated that Taftan should be classified as an active volcano rather than extinct. The increase in gas pressure indicates a potential eruption in the future.

Research shows that hot gases and liquids are accumulating underground. This situation increases the likelihood of the volcano becoming active again.

González emphasized that "this study is not meant to create panic but to alert authorities" and highlighted the need for regular monitoring of the area.

With a height of 3,940 meters, Taftan Volcano is one of the most notable volcanoes in the region. While no eruption is expected soon, the increase in gas pressure should be monitored closely.
