June 21, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says a 6.6 quake hit Chile, near it’s border with Bolivia.

No emergencies reported, the quake was deep in the ground, at 111.3 kilometers (69.2 miles).

It seems the number of 6 plus quakes, and volcanic activity, around the Pacific Ring of Fire have increased this year.  Earlier this month a volcano in Chile erupted, for several days, spewing ash that shut down airports as far away as New Zealand and Australia.
