October 15: Starting on October 10 an interesting series of earthquakes has been occurring in the upper Baezaeko River region, about 100km west of Quesnel, BC. More than 100 microearthquakes have occurred in this earthquake swarm as of 8 a.m. PDT October 15. These earthquakes are deep in the Earth's crust and none have been reported felt. This region is a known volcanic zone. The earthquakes are located about 20 km to the west of Nazko Cone which last erupted about 7000 years ago. These earthquakes may be related to magma movement at depth, or they may be related to crustal stresses. At this time, there is no evidence to suggest a volcanic eruption is likely. Monitoring of the situation continues, and updates will be provided as new information comes available.
