The Seismic activity, which began October 9 west of the Nazko cone,  continues but there aren’t as many shakes per day.

During the past week the rate has decreased to fewer than about 10 events per day. In total, more than 1000 microearthquakes have been recorded since this swarm began just a little over a month ago.

Still,  the scientists say there is no evidence to  suggest a volcanic eruption is likely. Monitoring of the situation continues, and updates will be provided as new information comes available.
