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

Major Stromboli volcanic eruption in Italy (pictures and videos)
Nov 11, 2020
A major explosion occurred at Stromboli at 8:04:20 UTC / 9:04 pm local time on November 10, 2020.
The powerful explosion event lasted about 6 minutes (until 20:10:00 UTC), with at least three explosions of minor intensity in addition to the Big Blast. The eruption column rose higher than the Pizzo (sopra la Fosse).
The ejecta, lava and incandescent rocks mainly fell on the Sciara del Fuoco, with a small proportion also covering the Pizzo sopra la Fossa, like the previous major eruption that killed one back in 2019.
The volcanic eruption has been captured by all seismic stations on Stromboli and was characterized by a sequence of explosive events that began at 20:03.50 (UTC), as shown by the seismic graph below
Meanwhile, the parameters of the eruptive activity has returned to normal levels.
According to Italian officials, the seismic event related to the eruption (3.5 x10-4 m / s in speed and 0.38 x10-4 m in displacement) exceeded normal values by more than an order of magnitude.

'High intensity' volcanic blast caught on camera on Italian island of Stromboli
STROMBOLI, Italy — An Italian volcano spewed lava, smoke and ash Monday in a "high intensity" eruption.
Dramatic, timelapse video captured the eruption on camera.
Italian scientists said the explosion took place on Stromboli, an island located off the coast of Sicily.
Images show the start of the explosion and streams of rock and other debris rapidly running down the side of the volcano.
Thermal camera images show the intense heat of the eruption.
Scientists say the event lasted four minutes and "was characterized by a sequence of explosive events and landsliding."
The Stromboli volcano is one of the most active on earth.
Its minor explosions and random spectacular lava flows descend from the crater directly into the sea.

BOILING MUD CRATER CAUSES ALARM IN PEOPLE OF MOLOACÁN, VERACRUZ
MEXICO - In Veracruz, the appearance of a small crater that spews boiling mud and steam caused alarm among the inhabitants of the municipality of Moloacán, who feared that it was the birth of a volcano.
The vapor trail emerging from a small crater of approximately one meter in diameter, worried residents of the Acalapa II community, in Veracruz. Geologists and geographers from the Civil Protection of Veracruz inspected the area and determined that it was a "saline dome."
It is a phenomenon caused by the earthquakes that are registered in the southern region of the country, in fact, it is not something new, in 2014 a similar phenomenon emerged that lasted several months. Although it does not represent a risk to the population, the exhalations of this dome could contaminate the water of rivers, flora and fauna of the place.
Salt domes are formed by the accumulation of salts, when other types of sediments bury them and pressure builds up, they can rise to the upper layers and pass through them, this is what causes deformations in the soil.

The effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano continues at high levels.
The short phases of lava fountains (paroxysm) continue to erupt from Mackenney crater at roughly regular intervals. The activity of the summit crater generated a dense dark ash plumes reaching an estimated altitude of 13,100 ft (4,000 m). Volcanic ash is spreading about 30 km to the south and southwest of the volcano. Ejected glowing pyroclastic material reached distance as far as 400 m away from the crater.

St Vincent orders evacuations as volcanic eruption appears imminent — Caribbean island says there is a ‘substantial prospect of disaster’ after several days of increased seismic activity
The Caribbean island of St Vincent has declared a red alert and issued an evacuation order after seismologists warned that the La Soufrière volcano shows signs of an imminent eruption.
The prime minister, Ralph Gonsalves, issued the order on Thursday after several days of increased seismic activity.
The country’s National Emergency Management Organisation said on Twitter there was a “substantial prospect of disaster”, and warned residents to “be ready, get your things in order”.
“Safe areas where people will be evacuated to are from North Union to Kingstown, on the Windward side of the island, Barrouallie to Kingstown on the Leeward side and the Grenadine Islands,” Nemo tweeted.
A cruise ship from the Royal Caribbean line was heading to the island to help with evacuation efforts, Nemo said.
The geologist Richard Robertson said that La Soufrière could erupt in a matter of hours or days, according to the St Vincent online newspaper News 784.
Monitoring stations had reported long earthquakes, which suggested that fresh magma was trying to reach the surface, and indicated that the volcano was moving to “an explosive stage”.
Video posted on social media showed a plume of smoke towering above the volcano, which is the highest point in the island country of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Volcano erupts in the Congo spewing red fumes into the night sky and sending residents fleeing for their lives into neighbouring Rwanda
A volcano has erupted in the Democratic Republic of Congo, spewing red fumes into the night sky and sending residents fleeing for their lives into neighbouring Rwanda.
People frantically grabbed mattresses and other belongings and fled towards the frontier, while power was cut and phone lines were jam-packed in large parts of Goma.
Despite the panic caused by the eruption of the Nyiragongo at around 7pm, a volcanologist said the city did not appear to be in danger.
A United Nations source said a reconnaissance flight by a U.N. helicopter appeared to show lava was not flowing towards Goma or any major population centres.
The military governor of North Kivu province, General Constant Ndima, appealed for calm, saying: 'Investigations are underway and people must follow the guidance of civil protection units'.
The volcano sits in the country's Virunga National Park, which is also home to endangered mountain gorillas.
The Mount Nyiragongo volcano erupted on Saturday, spewing red fumes into the night sky over the Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern city of Goma and sparking an exodus to neighbouring Rwanda
The eruption has turned the sky red over the city of Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo
A Congolese woman, carrying possessions on her head, flees from Mount Nyiragongo volcano as it erupts over Goma

'The sky has turned red,' one resident, Carine Mbala, told AFP by telephone.
'There is a smell of sulphur. In the distance you can see giant flames coming out of the mountain.
'But there has not been any earthquake,' she added.
'People are leaving or preparing to leave,' another resident told AFP, as the streets began filling up, some carrying as many of their belongings as they could.
'The people are leaving or preparing to leave,' an inhabitant said.
'I am taking the children and getting into the car. There is a risk that the lava will flow on Goma,' another said.
But for the moment, there is no sign of a flow of lava from the city, the correspondent said.
But the last time Nyiragongo erupted was January 17, 2002, killing more than a hundred people and covering almost all of the eastern part of Goma with lava, including half of the airport's landing strip.
Hundreds of thousands fled the city.
The deadliest eruption of the 3,000-metre high volcano was in 1977, when more than 600 died.
Volcanologists at the Goma Volcano Observatory, which monitors Nyiragongo, have struggled to make basic checks on a regular basis since the World Bank cut funding amid embezzlement allegations.
In a bulletin on May 10, the observatory said there had been increased seismic activity at Nyiragongo earlier in the month.
Goma sits on the mountain's southern flank and overlooks Lake Kivu.
The Goma region, which lies in North Kivu province, bordering Rwanda and Uganda, has six volcanoes, all higher than 3,000 metres.

BREAKING: The Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (INVOLCAN) has just confirmed and officialized the start of the volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma, in the Canary Islands. Everything is happening in real time as a result it's very difficult to get details about the beginning of the eruption.
For the moment we know that a plume of ash and gas has risen by several hundred meters high. It seems, from some images, that the eruptive fracture that opened along one of the mountains of the island is producing small lava fountains.
An emergency evacuation has been underway for about an hour!
We keep you posted.

Sept 30 (Reuters) - Hawaii's Kīlauea volcano was erupting in "full swing" late on Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said, with local media reporting that the eruption posed no immediate danger to residents.
"What was once a cooling lava lake is now a new fissure eruption," USGS Volcanoes said in a tweet.
The U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) elevated Kīlauea's volcano alert level from "WATCH" to "WARNING" and its aviation color code from "ORANGE" to "RED" as the new eruption and associated hazards are evaluated, USGS said.
The latest alert level and color code imply that a hazardous eruption is "imminent, underway or suspected", according to the USGS website.

An eruption was observed Wednesday at Mt. Aso in southwestern Japan, prompting four climbers to walk off the volcano, authorities said Tuesday.
The eruption occurred at 11:43 a.m. at the No. 1 Nakadake crater, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. Mt. Aso's volcanic alert level was raised to 3 on a scale of 5, with people urged not to approach the mountain.
In Tokyo, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters that no injuries have been reported so far and that local authorities are working to determine whether there are any climbers still on the mountain.
Volcanic ash has blown more than one kilometer from the crater and reached a height of about 3,500 meters, the agency said.
The latest eruption came after a small-scale one on Thursday.

Tonga issues Tsunami warning after undersea volcano in the Pacific erupts sending ash 12miles into sky as four-foot waves smash into island nation
Dramatic official aerial maps showed the eruption cloud over Tonga after the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcanco erupted (pictured, satellite images of the volanic eruption in the Pacific Ocean on Saturday)
'A 1.2 metre tsunami wave has been observed at Nukualofa,' Australia's Bureau of Meteorology tweeted. The maximum tsunami wave recorded following Friday's explosion was 30 centimetres.
The Tonga Meteorological Services said the tsunami warning was in effect for all of Tonga.
The eruption was so intense it was heard as 'loud thunder sounds' in Fiji more than 500 miles away, officials in Suva said.
Authorities in Fiji also issued a warning, telling people to avoid the shoreline due to strong currents and dangerous waves.
Victorina Kioa of the Tonga Public Service Commission said Friday that people should 'keep away from areas of warning which are low-lying coastal areas, reefs and beaches.'
The head of Tonga Geological Services Taaniela Kula urged people to stay indoors, wear a mask if they were outside and cover rainwater reservoirs and rainwater harvesting systems.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued a 'tsunami advisory' for American Samoa, saying there was a threat of 'sea level fluctuations and strong ocean currents that could be a hazard along beaches.'
A tsunami has struck Tonga sending terrified locals fleeing for high ground as huge waves crashed over roads and into homes (pictured, tsunami waves begin to overwhelm coastal homes in Tonga on Saturday)
Earlier, the Matangi Tonga news site reported that scientists had observed massive explosions, thunder and lightning near the volcano after it started erupting Friday.
The site said satellite images showed a three-mile-wide plume of ash, steam and gas rising about 12 miles into the air.
More than 1,400 miles away in New Zealand, officials warned of storm surges from the eruption.

The new fracture opened at an altitude of about 2,800 feet and is fueling a small lava flow that is slowly expanding across the upper valley.
The opening of this new fracture came after yesterday the volcanic tremor levels suffered a significant decrease which was accompanied by the cessation of the Strombolian activity that was ongoing in the part and summit of the southeast crater from last May 12th, the day it was the effusive eruption has started, attracting many tourists and curious locals.

Stromboli volcano (Eolian Islands, Italy): destabilization of crater rim released massive pyroclastic density current and lava flow
The ongoing highly elevated activity at the volcano resulted in a spectacular, billowing pyroclastic flow tumbling down the Sciara del Fuoco this morning at about 07:20 local time.
INGV volcanologists concluded that a part of the rim of the crater (likely North)had collapsed that culminated in hot rock falls traveling beyond the coastline above water for about several dozens-to-hundred meters. Ash plumes separating from the flow (so-called phoenix clouds) rose several hundred meters above the volcano. The pyroclastic flow triggered 2 cm high sea waves registered by the tsunami warning system.
The event has been associated with a new lava flow as well, emerging from a vent in the summit area and simultaneously descending with the pyroclastic density current and pouring into the sea.

Mount Semeru: Indonesia raises alert to highest level as volcano erupts on Java island
Indonesia's Mount Semeru volcano has erupted, sending ash billowing into the sky and sparking evacuations on the country's main island, Java.
Authorities raised the volcano's warning status to the highest level, meaning its activity had escalated.
No injuries have been reported but nearly 2,000 people were evacuated from the area around the volcano.
People have been urged to keep at least 8 km (5 miles) away, as "hot avalanches" of lava poured from Semeru.
The organization said a bridge being rebuilt after a previous eruption had been badly damaged.
At least six villages had been affected, it added.
Videos of the event showed the sky turning black as a massive plume of ash blocked the sunlight.
Japan issued a tsunami warning for its southernmost islands after the eruption, but meteorologists said no tidal changes had been observed.
Mount Semeru, in East Java province, began erupting at about 02:46 local time (19:46 GMT), authorities said.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where tectonic plates collide, causing frequent volcanic activity as well as earthquakes.
Semeru - also known as "The Great Mountain" - is the highest volcano in Java at 3,676m (12,060ft) and one of the most active. Its last erupted exactly one year ago, killing at least 50 people and leaving streets filled with mud and ash.
The eruption also follows a series of earthquakes on the west of Java island, located about 640 km (400 miles) east of Indonesia's capital Jakarta, including one last month that killed more than 300 people.

Using a technique to study seismic waves, researchers revealed a previously unknown magma chamber underneath a the Kolumbo submarine volcano.
A submarine volcano whose deadly eruption shattered the picturesque Greek island of Santorini nearly 400 years ago has a growing, never-before-seen magma chamber that could fuel another massive eruption within the next 150 years, a new study finds.
About 4 miles (7 kilometers) from Santorini, 1,640 feet (500 meters) under the ocean's surface, lies the Kolumbo volcano. Kolumbo is one of the most active submarine volcanoes in the world, and according to historical accounts (opens in new tab), its last eruption in A.D. 1650 killed at least 70 people. A study published Oct. 22, 2022, in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (opens in new tab) revealed that the previously undetected magma chamber growing beneath the Kolumbo volcano could lead to another eruption, thus endangering residents and tourists on Santorini.
Undersea volcanoes are monitored just like their on-land counterparts, but because undersea seismometers are challenging to install, there are fewer of them, which means scientists have less data on undersea volcanoes. In an attempt to overcome this problem, researchers decided to try a different technique to study the inner mechanics of Kolumbo.
Data from the seismic recordings showed a significant decrease in velocity underneath the volcano, indicating the presence of a magma chamber, rather than just solid rock. Further calculations revealed that the magma chamber has been growing at a rate of 141 million cubic feet (4 million cubic meters) per year ever since its eruption in 1650.
The chamber now holds roughly a third of a cubic mile (1.4 cubic km) of magma, the team found.
According to study first author Kajetan Chrapkiewicz (opens in new tab), a geophysicist at Imperial College London, the volume of magma could reach roughly half a cubic mile (2 cubic km) within the next 150 years. That was the estimated amount of magma Kolumbo ejected nearly 400 years ago.

Deadliest volcano in Western Hemisphere shows signs of increased activity
BOGOTA, Colombia – Experts say a volcano responsible for causing one of the largest disasters in the Western Hemisphere is showing signs of increased activity, which has forced the Colombian government to issue evacuations in the potential impact zone.
The Nevado del Ruiz volcano sits about 80 miles west of Bogotá, and according to Colombia’s Geological Survey, an earthquake swarm has increased to levels not seen since a disastrous eruption in the 1980s killed at least 25,000 people.
Authorities have raised the alert level to orange – the second-highest on a four-stage scale.
A recent update posted by the Global Volcanism Program said on March 30 some 11,600 earthquakes were detected, and the movement of underground fluid was likely responsible for increased ash emissions.
An estimated 57,000 people live in municipalities close to the volcano, and the population has only increased since the Armero tragedy caught thousands off guard on November 13, 1985.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the last major eruption occurred during a time of major political discourse, and the nighttime event was obscured by a significant storm.
"Within minutes, 23,000 people - most of the town’s inhabitants - were killed, entombed within a concrete-like mixture of mud, vegetation, buildings, and everything else swept away by the lahars. Sadly, the lahars reached Armero approximately two hours after the eruption - plenty of time for the people to have evacuated to higher ground, had they been notified more quickly," the USGS recounted.
President Gustavo Petro has encouraged people in the potential impact zone to evacuate and has asked authorities to hasten their response.
"We have asked the Departmental Risk Councils to speed up the preventive evacuation of 2,500 families that are at high risk due to the contingency of Nevado del Ruiz," Petro said in a statement.
According to Colombian officials, there have been 18 orange alerts since 1985, with none leading to a major eruption.
Volcanologists compare the Nevado del Ruiz to Washington’s Mount St. Helens. Both volcanoes are capable of explosive eruptions and dangerous mudflows that swallow everything in their path.

The increased activity of the volcano has Popocatépetl been detected by Sentinel-5P. Here is the map showing the plume of SO2 emissions currently measured from space.
ZetaTalk Prediction: "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."

Colombia urges evacuation near deadly volcano after increase in seismic activity
Authorities in Colombia on Saturday recommended that towns closest to a rumbling, notorious volcano be evacuated, ahead of a possible eruption.
The Disaster Risk Management Office said it was moving to evacuate communities that are located within 15 kilometers (nine miles) from the main crater of three that make up the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in the Colombian Andes.
Seismic activity has increased at the volcano, which killed 25,000 people in an eruption in 1985.
That blast was the worst natural disaster in Colombian history and one of the deadliest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century.
There has recently been a "significant increase in seismic activity," the ministry of mines said in a statement while Colombia's SGC geological service warned of a "probable eruption within days or weeks."
The 5,300-meter (17,400-foot) colossus in western Colombia is one of the many volcanoes along the Ring of Fire, a path around the Pacific basin characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.
On November 13, 1985, it erupted and emitted so much heat that it melted the snow that caps the mountain.
This triggered a cascading wall of mud that swallowed the town of Armero, killing half its population of 50,000.
