Significance to volcanic eruptions in Iceland, Hawaii and Philippines?


If I’m not mistaken, all three have erupted within a week’s time. Really just coincidence or is something happening? I have no expertise in this area.

> There are typically 40-50 continuing eruptions, and out of those generally around 20 will be actively erupting on any particular day.

The weekly report for last week [1] reports 23 active so doesn't seem very unusual.
