"Of course all volcanoes will explode, as this is going to be a very severe pole shift. What about the months and years preceding the pole shift? It is no secret that Mammoth Lake and the caldera of Yellowstone are warming up, and the populace has been prepared for these occurrences by the movie Volcano where there, in the middle of LA, lava is bubbling up. In fact, there is a fault line running from the approximate San Diego/LA area, up into the Sierras, and this is liable to rupture rather violently during one of the quakes that precedes the pole shift by some months. Volcanic eruptions from that area in the Sierras can be expected. Will Mount St. Helen erupt? All volcanoes that have been active within the memory of man will begin spewing and burping and oozing, and many that were not expected to become active will reactive. "   ZetaTalk - Feb 15, 2000

Mayon lava dome gets bigger


READY TO EXPLODE.The lava dome of restive

Mayon Volcano has grown to the size of a
10-storey building and the authorities are
being urged to be stricter in implementing the
danger zones around the volcano.

THE lava dome that has formed at the crater of Mayon volcano is now as large as a 10-storey building and is already visible to the naked eye, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said on Saturday.

Science research specialist  Riza Villeza of the Phivolcs Volcano Monitoring and Eruption Prediction Division estimated the lava dome to have a volume of 855,854 cubic meters at a height of 45 meters.

The lava dome started to sneak up from the hollow crater last August 12 when Phivolcs raised the monitoring alarm to Alert Level 2. Phivolcs raised the alert status to Level 3 last September 15.

“Actually, Mayon is not really the perfect cone that it is renowned for. There is a big crevice at its summit. It only looks like perfect from afar,” Villeza said.

But now the lava dome has started to sneak into full view and is already visible from Legaspi City at volcano’s southeast side.

It looks like the dome of the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City and partially covers the open crater of the volcano, which stands at 2,463 meters.

The swelling increased last Wednesday when Phivolcs monitored ground deflation at the base of the volcano, indicating that the magma has started to move up to the crater.

Villeza said the ground deflation of negative 2.48 millimeters from positive 4.21 millimeters last Oct. 6 suggested that the magma at the base has started to leave its holding.

At the same time, Villeza said the low volume of gas emission suggests that the swelling lava dome has been blocking the escape of sulfur dioxide from inside the volcano.

Yesterday’s sulfur dioxide emission was measured at 259 tons per day, which is way below the peak emission of 2,360 tons per day last Sept. 6.

Meanwhile, the Albay provincial government asked Phivolcs to help mark the danger zones around the restive volcano to guide patrol teams and also deter residents from returning to their homes.

“In order for us to be assured that they refrain from going back to their respective houses we have established choke points and foot patrols at the strategic locations around the volcano to serve as deterrent to those who still insist in returning back,” Albay Gov. Joey Salceda wrote Phivolcs director Renato Solidum Jr.

“However, the (primary) problem arising during apprehension the lack of permanent marker delineating the danger zone hence creating arguments during apprehension,” Salceda said.

Smoking Alaska mountain no volcano, so why's it smoldering?

A smoking mountain near the Yukon River not far from Eagle is, after further study, still a puzzle.

People first noticed acrid smoke in September 2012. The mountain has been steaming ever since, even during the coldest days of winter. Scientists thought a likely cause for the smoldering mountaintop was an oily rock deposit that somehow caught fire.

Linda Stromquist, a geologist for the National Park Service, has been trying to untangle the mystery of the Windfall Mountain Fire that burns above the Tatonduk River. She is one of few people to set foot on the warm flank of the mountain.

Flammable oil shale?

Stromquist and other professionals looked at geologic maps of the area and guessed the mountain might have a base of flammable oil shale that would explain the smoking. She grabbed a few samples of rock during a two-hour trip to the mountain in a helicopter.

"The pilot was worried about clouds of sulfur dioxide, and so was I," Stromquist said. "It was hot and steamy and smelly, kind of volcano-like."

Carl Stapler, a ranger at nearby Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, called Windfall Mountain "the Yukon-Charley volcano." Though he was joking, the steaming hill could pass for a summit surrounding the Valley of 10,000 Smokes.

Windfall Mountain is not a volcano, Stromquist said.

What is it then? Windfall Mountain is not feeding a coal seam fire, common throughout the world and recorded in Healy and a few other spots in Alaska. Coal can burst into flames with nothing more than the heat of the sun.

Samples Stromquist plucked during her visit to the mountain haven't helped explain the fire.

"Why is it continuing to burn when our samples show not-remarkable levels of organic carbon [like coal and peat]?" Stromquist said. "And there's no obvious combustion mechanism, either."

Elevated temperatures

Pat Sanders, a ranger at Yukon-Charley based in Eagle, said she heard a distant explosion in late September 2012, right before people smelled bitter smoke. Stromquist checked for a record of lightning strikes at that time and found none.

Anupma Prakash is an expert on coal fires who has studied them around the world, including Healy. Interested in the Windfall Mountain Fire, the professor at UAF’s Geophysical Institute encouraged graduate student Christine Waigl and undergraduate intern Kristen Stilson to review satellite images of Windfall Mountain. They found that during the five years before the fire, the mountain had higher temperatures than the surrounding hills and boreal forest.

"The area has had elevated temperatures for a while, which makes it easier for a fire to start," Prakash said.

Stromquist has shared information on the mountain with a half dozen geologists, including two men who wrote their doctoral theses on rocks of the area. The meeting of minds might solve the mystery of Windfall Mountain. Or it might not, she said.

"Science is like that — you can't tie it up with a bow most of the time."

Indonesian Volcano Erupts Again (Oct 5)

Indonesia’s Mount Sinabung has erupted, spewing burning gas and rock up to 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) into the sky.

Sunday’s eruption was one of several potentially deadly pyroclastic flows within days, caused by the collapse of the dome of solid lava on top of the crater.

In February, a pyroclastic ash cloud killed almost 20 people who could not escape the fast-moving current, which can reach speeds up to 450mph and usually travels downhill.

The 8,530ft volcano, in North Sumatra, started erupting four years ago after lying dormant for hundreds of years and has been particularly active in recent months.

More than 4,000 people who were evacuated from nearby homes during earlier eruptions are still living in emergency shelters and more are in temporary homes.

The Government is relocating some villages permanently because they are too close to the summit of Mount Sinabung but people are still attracted to its slopes for the fertile soil used for farming.

Mount Sakurajima Volcano Erupts in Japan (Sept 30)

A few days after the Ontake volcano erupted in Japan, a second volcano, Sakurajima, also threw smoke and ash into the sky Monday, prompting the evacuation of hundreds of residents.

Sakurajima volcano is located 31 miles from a nuclear plant in Japan where the government has announced that operations will restart two reactors.

The Japanese government said Monday that despite the recent eruptions, will not change plans to reactivate two reactors at a nuclear plant near active volcanoes.

This decision has caused public criticism, especially after the disaster of the Fukushima plant, after the tsunami and earthquake of 2011 caused tons of radioactive water to leak into the sea.

25,000 Quakes at Bárðarbunga Volcano (Sept 30)

The eruption is setting records every day.

Around 25,000 earthquakes have registered on Icelandic Met Office’s equipment since August 29. The eruption is one of the largest in the world.

"We have to go back to the Lakagígar eruption (1783) to find anything similar," according to Volcanologist Ármann Höskuldsson.

All in all 39 quakes over 5.0 have been recorded, most of them in the rim of the Bárðarbunga crater. On Monday, a quake of magnitude 5.5 occurred, the second biggest since the beginning of the eruption.

“The flow of magma to the surface is extensive and the lava fountains are going high up in the air. The flow of poisonous gas is also unusually high. 

Ármann says he has no idea how long the eruption will last.

Iceland’s Volcanic Pollution Dwarfs All of Europe’s Human Emissions

“The sulfur dioxide (SO2) emitted from the Holuhraun eruption has reached up to 60,000 tons per day and averaged close to 20,000 tons since it began,” notes Pall Stefanson, in a September 25 report for Iceland Review Online.

“For comparison, all the SO2 pollution in Europe, from industries, energy production, traffic and house heating, etc., amounts to 14,000 tons per day.”

Vulcanello explodes in Sicily- ITALY, a witness: "wave of mud 20 meters high"

Saturday, September 27 2014,

"A wall of clay and mud twenty meters high" would have overwhelmed the family of three, father and two children, while he was crossing the reserves 'Macalube' of Aragon, in the province of Agrigento. The testimony comes from a group of German tourists, they also visit the reserve at the time of the explosion Vulcanello that hit the three.

The rescuers, after having rescued the man, pulled out from the debris even the seven year old girl, but for her there was nothing to be done. Continuing investigations of the child. The area was evacuated for fear of further explosions: the place of the tragedy remain only the police and fire departments.

* Volcano Erupts in Japan; Injuries Reported [ABC News; Sep 27, 2014]

A volcano erupted in central Japan on Saturday, catching mountain climbers by surprise and seriously injuring at least one person.

With a sound likened to thunder, Mt. Ontake spewed large white plumes high into the sky, sending people fleeing and covering surrounding areas in ash.

Several people were injured, including one who was unconscious, according to Japanese media reports.

The 3,067-meter (10,062-foot) peak erupted shortly before noon on a bright sunny autumn morning. In a YouTube video shown on Japanese TV, surprised climbers can be seen moving quickly away from the peak as an expanding plume emerges above and then engulfs them.

One witness, talking to Japanese broadcaster NHK, said the eruption started with large booms like thunder. It also reported that people had been evacuated from a mountain lodge.

Japan's meteorological agency raised the alert level for Mt. Ontake to three on a scale of one to five. It warned people to stay away from the mountain, saying ash and other debris could fall up to 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) away.

Mt. Ontake sits on the border of Nagano and Gifu prefectures on the spine of mountains that runs down Honshu, Japan's main island.

* UPDATE 2-Erupting Japan volcano leaves seven unconscious, 250 stranded [Reuters; Sep 27, 2014]

(Adds details, PM Abe comment)

By Antoni Slodkowski and Mari Saito

(Reuters) - A Japanese volcano erupted on Saturday, spewing ash and small rocks into the air and leaving seven people unconscious, eight seriously injured and more than 250 stranded on the mountain, officials and media said.

A thick, rolling, grey cloud of ash rose into the sky above Mount Ontake close to where TV footage showed hikers taking pictures. Trekkers and residents were warned of falling rock and ash within a radius of four km (two and a half miles).

"It was like thunder," a woman told broadcaster NHK of the first eruption at the volcano in seven years. "I heard boom, boom, then everything went dark."

The Meteorological Agency said the volcano, which straddles Nagano and Gifu prefectures 200 km (125 miles) west of Tokyo, erupted just before midday and sent ash pouring down the mountain's south slope for more than three km (two miles).

There was no sign of lava from the TV footage.

The eruption forced aircraft to divert their routes, but officials at Tokyo's Haneda airport and Japan Airlines said there were no disruptions to flights in and out of Tokyo.

NHK quoted a Nagano prefectural official as telling a government meeting that seven people were unconscious and eight people were seriously wounded.

Police said more than 250 hikers were stranded on the mountain, which is 3,067 metres high and last erupted in 2007.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who returned from the United States on Saturday, said he had issued instructions to mobilise the military to help in the rescue effort.

"Nearly 200 people are in the process of descending the mountain, but we are still trying to figure out details. I instructed to do all we can to rescue the people affected and secure the safety of the trekkers," Abe told reporters.

Nagano police sent a team of 80 to the mountain to assist the climbers who were making their way down, while Kiso Prefectural Hospital, near the mountain, said it had dispatched a medical emergency team.

"We expect a lot of injured people so we are now getting ready for their arrival," said an official at the hospital.

More than five hours after the initial eruption, the thick ash cloud showed no signs of abating, NHK TV showed.

"It's all white outside, looks like it has snowed. There is very bad visibility and we can't see the top of the mountain," Mari Tezuka, who works at a mountain hut for trekkers, told Reuters.

"All we can do now is shut up the hut and then we are planning on coming down... This is a busy season because of the changing autumn leaves. It's one of our busiest seasons." (Reporting by Antoni Slodkowski, Mari Saito, writing by Kiyoshi Takenaka; Editing by Nick Macfie)
