SO2 plume from Bagana volcano (NOAA) The volcano’s activity seems to have increased a bit during the past days although it is currently unknown what is exactly going on (growing lava dome? effusion of lava flows?). Overall heat emission…
Strong explosion at Fuego with incandescent avalanches this morning (INSIVUMEH webcam) Strombolian-type explosions have increased in size and frequency during the past days. Many of the explosions ejected lava bombs to several hundred meters above the crater and caused spectacular…
Santa Maria volcano satellite image (c) Google Earth View A strong explosion (another in the ongoing series) occurred at the Caliente lava dome yesterday at 13:30 local time. According to INSIVUMEH, it generated an ash column that rose to approx.…
Glowing avalanche at Sinabung volcano yesterday night (image: Endro Lewa / facebook) No significant changes have occurred in the ongoing effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano. The slow lava dome growth continues to feed a prominent lava lobe on the upper…
The volcano is showing signs of unrest that could be (but not necessarily) precursors of a new eruption. Since the beginning of the month, shallow (0-2 km depth) volcanic earthquakes of rock-fracturing type under the Dolomieu crater (the main vent…
Map of Kilauea’s new lava flow headed SE (map: HVO) HVO reports no significant changes in the eruption. The new lava flow headed to the SE from Pu’u O’o continues to advance fast. During the past week, it made…
Glowing avalanche yesterday (photo: Endro Lewa / facebook) The volcano continues to erupt with little changes – effusing viscous lava at slow pace and feeding a prominent lava lobe on the SE flank. A small collapse of parts of…
Mushroom cloud from Popocatépetl volcano yesterday (CENAPRED webcam) A moderately strong vulcanian explosion occurred yesterday morning at 11:17 local time, producing a mushroom-shaped ash plume that rose approx. 3 km above the summit and dispersed in westerly directions. Today,…
Explosion from Sinabung this morning (10 June 2016) (photo: Andi / VolcanoDiscovery Indonesia) The eruption of the volcano continues with little changes: viscous magma is accumulating at the summit lava dome and forms over-spilling lobes on the southeastern slope that…
Continuing thermal anomalies from Manam (MIROVA) Mild eruptive activity likely continues at the volcano. Satellite images show a thermal hot spot at the summit crater and occasionally, during clear weather, strong emissions of sulfur dioxide gas. Due to the…
