Caribbean volcano Kick 'em Jenny: Ships warned off area
Description: Ships sailing in the Caribbean have been told to steer clear of an underwater volcano after it started showing increased seismic activity. The volcano, called Kick 'em Jenny, is located 8km (5 miles) off Grenada. The government of Grenada has imposed a 5km exclusion zone around Kick 'em Jenny after the alert was raised to orange, which means an eruption could take place within 24 hours. Seismologists said there was no imminent danger to the region. [Source: BBC News]
