Acting Prime Minister Elvin Nimrod informed the citizens that the volcano poses "no significant threat" to the island or for that matter any nearby islands. He suggested citizens go about their daily routines.


"Kick 'em Jenny" was discovered in the 1930's. In 1939, it had its most powerful eruption shooting a cloud of ash around 900 feet in the air. That was the strongest blast ever. 12 eruptions have been reported since, with the latest taking place in 2001.  Up to this point there have been no fatalities.
