PAGO PAGO (RNZ Pacific/Pacnews) — Following a swarm of earthquakes detected at the Manu a Island Group in American Samoa, the U.S. Geological Survey has dispatched a team to Pago Pago
Following a swarm of earthquakes detected at the Manu'a Island Group in American Samoa, the US Geological Survey has dispatched a team to Pago Pago to assess and set up equipment to monitor seismic activities in the island group.
An earthquake swarm is occurring in the Manuʻa islands of American Samoa. These earthquakes are most likely related to either Taʻū volcano or the nearby submarine Vailuluʻu volcano. Experts continue to assess the situation.
With only a cursory review, the agency shut the door on studying or cleaning up old toxic waste barrels that litter the seafloor at active drilling sites.
