a new swarm of small magnitude
quakes began in July. According to
the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
PVGazette graphic which monitors the Long Valley ac-
tivity, there is no threat of volcanic
unrest at this time.
A USGS spokesperson told the PVG that although these swarms are unusual, it is
not uncommon for periodic activity at this location. The USGS sent a team to the
Mammoth Lakes area in July to more closely monitor the area. It is not know if the
team has returned to monitor the current activity.
Mammoth Lakes is located north of Bishop, California, and is situated approxi-
mately 90 miles southwest of Tonopah.
