At this meeting, North Korea suddenly brought up the possibility of a Baekdu Mountain volcanic eruption. At the time, the North expressed fear and requested that a seismograph be installed around Baekdu Mountain so that the timing of the eruption could be predicted. “In a situation where North Korea is also quite afraid, I wish South Korea would install a (seismograph) so that we can study it…” Government official “The micro-earthquakes occurring at Baekdu Mountain are very likely to be the movement of magma (related to volcanic activity). And since they occur very frequently every year, we are indicating that this eruption is very imminent.” Hong Tae-kyung, Professor, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Yonsei University “It is certain that (Baekdu Mountain) is continuing to have clear volcanic activity.
