Japan: A new island appears in the Ogasawara Islands - November 2013
Active volcanoes (Sep 28, 2012)
"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

Northwest side of the Indo-Australian Plate feeling pressure lately with buoy 23227 off Sumatra showing undersea displacements as well as Barren Island volcano to the north.
A 5000-ft ash plume was reported this morning extending 50 km to the east from the Barren Island volcano.
Barren Island, a possession of India in the Andaman Sea about 135 km NE of Port Blair in the Andaman Islands, is the only historically active volcano along the N-S-trending volcanic arc extending between Sumatra and Burma (Myanmar).

Thousands of people are being evacuated after Japan warned a massive volcano close to a nuclear power plant is threatening to erupt.
Japan warned Sakurajima volcano, which is just 50 km (31 miles) from a nuclear reactor is showing signs of increased activity.
The mountain - on the southern island of Kyush - is one of Japan's most active volcanoes and erupts almost constantly.
But a larger than usual eruption could be in the offing, an official at the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
"There is the danger that stones could rain down on areas near the mountain's base, so we are warning residents of those areas to be ready to evacuate if needed," the official added.
The agency also said it had raised the warning level on the peak, 990 km southwest of Tokyo, to an unprecedented 4, for prepare to evacuate, from 3. Roughly 100 people could be affected.
Japan on Tuesday restarted a reactor at the Sendai nuclear plant, some 50 km from Sakurajima. It is the first reactor to be restarted under new safety standards put in place after the 2011 Fukushima disaster.
Cotopaxi Volcano in Ecuador Erupts after 75 Years - August 14
The Cotopaxi volcano, located 60 kilometers from Quito in Ecuador, which has been silent for almost 75 years has erupted.
Reports of falling ash and the smell of sulphur is being reported in nearby Machachi, Ecuador following Cotopaxi volcano eruption.
The last major eruption was in 1940, but since then the Cotopaxi had been quiet. However, in the last few months, Ecuador's volcano monitoring agency - IG-EPN had raised fears that the volcano may go active again as there have been some 100 small earthquakes per day in the region. Signature tremor associated with fluid movement at volcano also was reported.
Ash from Cotopaxi has considerably affected visibility in Quito and other areas. Local residents are wearing masks in the city streets. * Two phreatic eruptions took place at Cotopaxi volcano this morning. A phreatic eruption is a steam eruption without lava ejection. It is a common precursor of volcanic activity.
Volcanologists from the Instituto Geofisico are expected to visit the summit to access the situation.
Locals have been asked by the government officials to use precautions when venturing outside to avoid inhaling ash. No evacuations have been ordered yet. * "We are monitoring the situation closely,"
Ecuador's volcano monitoring agency - IG-EPN. * Locals heard two loud explosions followed by a rain of ash and strong smell of sulphur. *
Cotopaxi is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world and the second highest summit in the country.
Cotopaxi's most violent eruptions in historical times occurred in the years 1744, 1768, and 1877. In the 1877 eruption pyroclastic flows descended all sides of the mountain, with lahars travelling more than 100 km into the Pacific Ocean and western Amazon basin draining the valley.
There was a major eruption in 1903 through 1904, and some minor activity in 1942 as well as 1975 but it did not produce any major events. (via sguisard.astrosurf.com)

Inactive Geyser Bursts Through New Zealand City Centre (Aug 10)
Parts of a New Zealand city have been closed after an old geyser suddenly burst back into life and started spitting steam and water 15m into the air.
Rotorua city, on the country’s north island, is well-known for its geothermal activity, with many tourists drawn to its unusual boiling mud pools and geysers.
But the old bore that began spraying dirt and gravel onto roofs yesterday provided an unlikely CBD spectacle for tourists.
Video posted to the Rotorua Daily Post shows the geyser gushing up from underneath the ground down a small cobbled lane in front of concerned onlookers.
"Mum, shall I ring 911?" says the man recording the footage. Police were called and shops in the surrounding area were reportedly closed for several hours.
A spokesperson from the local council said the geyser burst through an old bore in the city centre.
"Once the bore has been shut down contractors and staff will have a better idea about why it blew this afternoon," he said.
"The area has been cordoned off for safety reasons and we will have security guards there overnight to ensure public safety."

Ongoing Eruption at Java's Raung Volcano Continues to Disrupt Air Travel (Aug 4)
The eruption at the volcano remains very intense and might have increased during the past days.
Virgin Australia has cancelled all flights to and from Bali today as volcanic ash from the erupting volcano continues to wreak havoc on airline travel.
“The latest advice from our team of meteorologists and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre is that conditions are not suitable for operations into and out of Denpasar Airport today,” the airline said in a statement.
“We have been advised that Mt Raung continues to erupt and winds are blowing in an unfavourable direction, and are forecast to continue to do so for the rest of the day.”
Jetstar has also had to cancel and delay flights to and from Bali again after seriously deteriorating flight conditions.
According to Indonesian press reports, new fissures have been reported and incandescent ejecta were seen to up to a height of 1500 m.

Violent Eruptions Continue at Sumatra's Sinabung Volcano (Aug 4)
At least two pyroclastic flows occurred today at the volcano, continuing the destruction of the lava lobes on the upper SE and E side.
Heavy ash falls were reported southeast of the volcano, forcing shops to close and people stay indoors.

Large Explosive Eruption at Papua New Guinea's Manam Volcano (Jul 31)
A large explosive eruption occurred at the volcano today producing an ash column that rose to approx. 65,000 ft (20 km) altitude and started to drift SW.
VAAC Darwin changed aviation color code to red.
Ash from the Manam eruption has coated a number of towns, including Bogia, on the coast of New Guinea.
This explosion is the largest at the volcano in over 10 years. It seems to be similar to the powerful 24 Oct 2004 explosion.
In a bit of an eerie coincidence, officials from Manam and Bogia just recently settled their discord over the resettlement of over 1,000 volcanic refugee from the 2004 eruption of Manam to Bogia. The refugees from 2004 have yet to find permanent homes after having to leave the island. More than 9,000 were initially evacuated in 2004.
More than 5,000 people still live on the island and are being evacuated to the Madang mainland and will likely be permanently resettled. Two injuries from the eruption have been reported so far as well.

Karymsky (Kamchatka): An ash plume from an explosion produced an ash plume that rose to 14,000 ft (4.2 km) altitude and drifted north this morning. The volcano continues to produce intermittent strombolian- to vulcanian-type explosive eruptions.
Chirinkotan (Northern Kuriles): Ash emissions were recorded on satellite imagery on 26 July, producing a plume that rose to 15,000 ft (4.5 km) altitude and drifted NW.
Kirishima (Kyushu): Elevated seismic activity has been recorded since early July, the Japan Meterological Agency (JMA) reported. Yesterday, a phase of volcanic tremor occurred that lasted 3 minutes and a slight ground deformation was detected. Sudden phreatic explosions could occur any time and pose a significant risk if visiting the crater area.
Akan (Hokkaido): A swarm of shallow volcanic earthquakes under the Ponmachineshiri crater of Mt Meakan volcano has been occurring since yesterday.
The swarm follows a gradual increase in seismicity under the volcano noted since April this year.
Raung (East Java): The eruption, now over 4 weeks old, continues with no significant changes. Strong lava effusion inside the summit caldera is accompanied by near-constant ash emissions rising 1-2 km and drifting up to 100-200 km in mostly westerly directions.
Sinabung (Sumatra, Indonesia): A series of pyroclastic flows yesterday noon (see previous post) and this morning destroyed a part of the eastern lava lobe.

Dukono (Halmahera): Strong ash emissions continue at the volcano. VAAC Darwin reported an ash plume extending 25 km north of the volcano yesterday.
Popocatépetl (Central Mexico): The activity at the volcano has remained more or less unchanged over the past months. During the past days, explosive activity has been a bit higher than average. Intermittent explosions occur from the summit crater, where lava domes slowly grow until a series of stronger explosions destroy it and a new one grows.
