And now this massive M8.5 that struck 590km deep, south of Japan:

Add to that a bunch of new volcanic eruptions, including volcanic activity at Mt. Hakone which has been dormant for 700 years and a pattern of quakes and eruptions all around the pacific this past week and it's pretty clear that the ring of fire is burning bit hotter than usual right now. I hope things continue at this pace and all the pressure continues to release itself regularly and with minimal force than all in one go, like back in 2011.
