Can an eruption from the Kick em Jenny submarine volcano cause a tsunami?
Kick em Jenny is a submarine volcano located 9 km north of Grenada. Currently, the threat of a tsunami from an eruption of the volcano is extremely low since a recent (2003) survey revealed that the summit of the volcano is quite deep. At the moment, Kick em Jenny poses a grave danger to shipping as the volcano is constantly emitting gases, which lower the buoyancy of the water and can cause vessels to sink. For this reason there is a 1.5km exclusion zone around the summit of the volcano.
