Recent research has reported an alarming increase in seismic activity around Mount Paektu. Strange gas emissions and unusual tremors are raising concerns that this sleeping giant may no longer be dormant. As tectonic processes lead to magma movement beneath the surface, scientists are racing against time to decipher the warning signs of an impending eruption. Historically, Mount Paektu has a catastrophic eruption record; one of its most significant events was the Millennium eruption of 946 CE, which reshaped the region and had global climatic implications.
