Why is a volcano in Bolivia getting bigger and more powerful so FAST?

The Huffington Post quotes researcher Andrea Mustain as saying that a 43 mile wide volcano called Uturuncu is "inflating with astonishing speed." They quote volcanologist Shan de Silva as saying that Uturuncu is "one of the fastest uplifting volcanic areas on Earth."

At the rate it’s expanding, the magma underneath is increasing by 27 cubic feet every SECOND. Bolivia is not a large country: Once it explodes, will there be much of left? But this may not happen soon–volcanoes in the region hoard their magma for around 300,000 years before they erupt, and Uturuncu last erupted around 300,000 years ago.

We modestly think that Whitley’s new book is going to cause as big an upheaval as Communion did almost 25 years ago, in 1987. You can get it BEFORE everyone else does–before your neighbors pick your local bookstore clean–if you PRE-ORDER it now! Once you have purchased the book, you’ll need to either forward the e-receipt or send as a jpg, screenshot (etc.) to the publisher. You will then receive an autoresponse that will include a link to a page where you can input your address. Tarcher will send a special "Communion Enigma" bookplate out to the recipients shortly before publication date. To learn more, click here.
