Poster Comment:
After that 8.8 Megaquake on the Kamchatka peninsula, scientists noted pressure had increased on the fault lines off the coast of Japan and Alaska. You would think that someone would have chosen a safer location. No details of the exact location in Alaska will be given until we get closer to the time of the meeting. I would opt for Juneau.
