Caribbean ships warned away from underwater volcano

Ships sailing in the Caribbean have been told to steer clear of an underwater volcano that is showing increased seismic activity.


The government of Grenada imposed 3.1 miles exclusion zone around the volcano -- called Kick 'em Jenny -- after the alert was raised to orange, indicating an eruption could take place within 24 hours.

The University of the West Indies Seismic Research Center issued the warning, saying with the increased alert level ships should steer clear of the exclusion zone, 5 miles off Grenada.
