Volcano watch

A powerful eruption occurred at Taal Volcano in Batangas, Philippines (26.10.2025)

Benevolent extraterrestrials monitoring volcanoes to provide early warning to human partners.

Volcanic activity worldwide 18 October, 2025: Kilauea in Hawaii, Santiaguito volcano, Fuego, Semeru, Ibu, Dukono, Reventador, and soon "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."

"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

Strong Explosions at Ecuador's Tungurahua Volcano (Feb 26)

Two large explosions occurred at the volcano yesterday noon from 12:12 local time. The first and larger explosion produced an ash plume that rose approx. 5000 meters above the summit.

The ash plume dispersed mainly to the west and northwest where ash fall occurred in areas including Choglontús, Pillate, Cahuaji and El Manzano.

The explosion itself, a typical so-called "vulcanian"-type eruption, was preceded only by a short (lasting little more than an hour), but intense seismic swarm of shallow earthquakes caused by internal fluid movements and rock fracturing as pressurized gasses started to disintegrate the overlying plug.

International Experts Sent in to Monitor Erupting Nicaragua Volcanoes (Feb 23)

Volcano experts from the US, UK, Costa Rica and local geologists are observing activity at four active peaks in Nicaragua after a flurry of explosions.

The biggest, and most active, is the enormous 1,297-metre Momotombo stratovolcano, near the city of León.

Momotombo, on the north of Lake Managua 25 miles from Nicaragua’s capital Managua, blew for the first time in 110 years in December, and has been active ever since.

In a post about the situation Costa Rican English-speaking news site The Tico Times wrote it had sent "geologists and local townspeople into a tizzy"

"In fact, there’s been so much volcanic and seismic activity in Nicaragua lately that experts from the United States, the United Kingdom, Nicaragua and Costa Rica are carefully studying and observing the situation."

Geologists from the US Geological Survey announced last week they are studying and assessing risks from Momotombo and the other active volcanoes in the country.

Both Télica and Masaya began erupting at the same time as Momotombo, and continue to do so.

Meanwhile, Cerro Negro, which has so far not erupted, recorded bursts of seismic activity last week.

We don’t really think about it on a daily basis, but the Earth is still changing all the time. It just happens so slowly that we can’t really perceive it. But every now and then, things speed up… a lot.

Recently, the crew of the Maiken was enjoying a leisurely sail through the South Pacific when they spotted a strange discoloration on the water. They moved in closer to inspect it, but by the time they realized what it was, it was too late.

They were there to witness the birth of a new island. A huge amount of pumice stone had risen to the surface and it looked like a beach in the middle of the sea but when they rode through it, they saw the water start to boil and then witnessed the birth of a new island from an erupting underwater volcano.

When This Boat Crew Realized What They Were Seeing, It Was Almost Too Late To Escape.

Increasing Eruptions at Nicaragua's Momotombo Volcano (Feb 18)

Activity at the volcano has been increasing.

During the past days, explosions have become frequent, with intervals of only few hours. The largest on Wednesday evening at 20:50 local time showered almost the cone with incandescent ejecta and produced ash plumes up to 1 km tall.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that some of the eruptions also have produced small pyroclastic flows.

Ash fall was reported in the communities of La Concha, Matuzán, Boca de Cántaro, Flor de la Piedra and Puerto Momotombo.

According to the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies (INET) reported that microseismic activity remains high, suggesting that more eruptions are likely to occur in the near future.

Authorities activate emergency plans after two volcanoes erupt in Nicaragua

http://news.co.cr/authorities-activate-emergency-plans-after-two-vo...

Authorities in Nicaragua activated emergency plans after explosions occurred at both the Momotombo and Telica volcanoes on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Masaya volcano has also witnessed an increase in seismic activity in recent days.

According to the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies (INETER), the Telica volcano, located in the Leon department, erupted at 8:28 a.m. Saturday morning, launching a column of ash and gas some 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) into the air. At least 20 smaller eruptions were recorded at the volcano in the subsequent hours. Ashfall was reported in some nearby communities.

About two hours after the first explosion at Telica, the Momotombo volcano – which had been essentially dormant for 100 years before exploding to life in December – launched a column of ash and gas more than 1,600 feet (500 meters) into the air.

There were no injuries reported in either event, though Civil Defense and municipal authorities said they were activating emergency plans in order to provide a rapid response should communities become at risk. Civil Defense authorities also visited communities near the Momotombo to coordinate evacuation routes should a major incident occur.

Large pyroclastic flows at volcanoes in Indonesia and Nicaragua yesterday.

Large Pyroclastic Flow at Indonesia's Semeru Volcano (Feb 13)

A pyroclastic flow (hot avalanche of fragmented volcanic material) occurred on the volcano's southern side yesterday morning, reaching 4.5 km length and producing an ash plume that rose to 26,000 ft (8 km) altitude.

Darwin VAAC raised the aviation color code to RED. Another, smaller flow seems to have occurred today.

Pyroclastic Flow at Nicaragua's Momotombo Volcano (Feb 13)

Another explosion occurred at the volcano yesterday at 10:40 local time.

It produced a pyroclastic flow that descended the NE flank through the prominent ravine that also had channeled the recent lava flow from 2015.

Two relatively smaller explosions occurred at the volcano on Feb 12, one at around 02:20 and another at 11:15 local time.

Guatemala's Fuego Volcano Spews Ash on Nearby Towns (Feb 10)

The overnight eruption of Fuego Volcano sent ash billowing up to five kilometers into the sky and rivers of lava up to two kilometers long, according to Guatemala's Volcanology Institute.

This is the third paroxysm this year at the volcano. Over the past days, strombolian and effusive activity had gradually increased into now pulsating lava fountains and well-alimented lava flows.

Light tremors were also felt up to 25 kilometers away.

Strong gusts of wind could carry the clouds of "fine ash particles" to Guatemala City, 45 kilometers distant, said David de Leon, a spokesman for the government's disaster coordination service.

But thus far authorities were maintaining a yellow alert and were not ordering evacuations. However schools in the vicinity were ordered closed.

De Leon said the ash had so far fallen on three towns -- including Antigua Guatemala, a small, UNESCO-listed city dating back nearly five centuries and which served as the capital until the 18th century.

Increased Explosions at Costa Rica's Turrialba Volcano (Feb 8)

Turrialba Volcano has recorded an increase in activity that includes 5 ash, gas and vapor explosions since Feb 6. The most recent event occurred on Monday at 5:33 p.m., according to the University of Costa Rica’s National Seismological Network (RSN).

The explosion formed an ash plume of about one kilometer high, similar to that reported during another explosion on Sunday that also included gas emanations.

Earlier on Monday RSN monitoring systems recorded an explosion at 10:24 a.m. that formed an ash plume of about 400 meters high, but shortly after it moved towards the Braulio Carrillo National Park area, the agency reported. Other similar explosions occurred Saturday at 1:50 p.m. and Sunday at 10:26 p.m.

RSN volcanologist Raúl Mora said experts noticed an increase in Turrialba’s activity since late January, along with a spike in seismic activity.

So far this month the RSN has registered tremors of moderate magnitudes in the area. Last Wednesday, Feb. 3 at 9:40 a.m., a strong, magnitude-4.4 temblor with an epicenter located 17 kilometers west of the Caribbean canton of Guápiles was reported by residents in Limón, Cartago and San José.

On Monday at 1:40 p.m., a magnitude-3.8 temblor was recorded in Santa Rosa de Turrialba, while at 9:04 a.m. on Tuesday, RSN reported a magnitude-2.9 temblor with an epicenter located 15 kilometers west of Guápiles, near the Turrialba area.
