"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

Ecuador Tungurahua volcano emits lava and clouds of steam
The Geophysical Institute of the National Polytechnic School reported that this activity will last several days. They claim that alternating periods of activity with other quiet

Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador issued Monday lava fountains emanated in its crater and clouds of steam and ash, according to what reported Geophysical Institute (IG) of the National Polytechnic School.
In addition there has been ashfall in Choglontús sectors and El Manzano, in the southwestern flank of the mountain, as remarked Daniel Pacheco, one of the scientists of Guadalupe Observatory, which controls the behavior of the volcano located in the Andes , across the country.
Pacheco also noted that there have been loud noises as "bellows" that are common and have been heard by residents of the places near the volcano.
He called Tungurahua activity as "estrombolina" in reference to his behavior like Italian Stromboli crater, which means that throws hot rocks emerging from the volcano and fall and roll half a mile away.
The Tungurahua has about five thousand 23 meters high and is located in the Cordillera of Ecuador and 140 kilometers south of Quito, the capital.

Fumes From Montserrat Volcano Raises Health Alert (Mar 7)
Pungent fumes drifting over Antigua from Montserrat’s volcano sparked alarm yesterday, prompting disaster chiefs to issue a health alert.

The National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) told OBSERVER media that staff had received a number of calls from concerned members of the public complaining about a stench of sulphur.

Director Philmore Mullin said a change in wind had blown gases from the Soufriere Hills volcano over to the island.

He advised residents with sensitive eyes, or who suffer from asthma or other respiratory illnesses, to stay indoors.

Sulphur dioxide is irritating to the eyes, throat and airways. It can cause a burning sensation, difficulty breathing for those with pre-existing conditions, and tightness in the chest.

Mullin said, “We received several calls from people complaining about a foul smell, something like sulphur, so I called our counterparts in Montserrat and they confirmed there had been a wind change and fumes from the volcano were now coming our way.”

He continued that emissions were not unusual for this time of year and that there was no immediate need to panic.

“If you stand outdoors long enough and stick your tongue out, you will definitely get a sulphur taste.

“People with respiratory issues may see some moderate attacks and if you have sensitive eyes, you could also feel burning.”

The NODS director said there was a chance the gas could bring on an asthma attack.

International guidelines suggest prolonged or repeated exposure to sulphur dioxide can be dangerous for people with pre-existing heart and lung diseases.

Mexico's Fuego de Colima Volcano Spews Lava (Mar 1)

A new lava flow has appeared from the summit crater of Fuego volcano and is traveling towards Trinidad canyon and about 300 meters long. Weak explosions occur from time to time as well, with plumes rising a few 100 meters. The current seismic signal shows an increase of activity.

On January 6th the “Fuego volcano of Colima” awoke with a bang after 18th months in complete calm. Since then, there have been four significant explosions, which have been destroying the dome on top.

The new dome could be accumulation for more that 400 thousands cubic meters of material on environment.

Mount Etna's Dramatic New Eruption caught on video

 Italy's Mount Etna sent lava and gas shooting toward the stars early this morning (Feb. 19), the first big eruption for the volcano in 2013.

The famous Sicilian volcano burst to life overnight, sending a fountain of fire into the air. The dramatic scene was captured in a video by Klaus Dorschfeldt, a videographer and webmaster at Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.

Mount Etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes, had emitted signs of an imminent paroxysm in recent weeks. On Jan. 22, lava and strong flashes in the volcano's New Southeast Crater were clearly visible from the Sicilian foothills; these often herald a new paroxysm: short, violent eruptive bursts.

Dorschfeldt said he knew Mount Etna's recent signals could precede new activity.  "[I've] followed the activity of Etna for many years, and with time you learn to know it as if it were your friend," he said in an email interview. "Following it constantly [you] learn to be a keen observer and a minor change can lead to something important," he told OurAmazingPlanet.

Barren Island (Andaman Islands) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barren Island (coordinates: 12°16′N 93°51′E) is located in the Andaman Sea, one of the most easterly of the Andaman Islands. It is the only confirmed active volcano in South Asia. Along with the rest of the Andamans, it is a part of the Indian Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and lies about 135 km (84 mi) northeast of the territory's capital, Port Blair. The first recorded eruption of the volcano dates back to 1787. Since then, the volcano has erupted more than ten times, with the most recent one which started in September 2010 and continued through January 2011.

After the first recorded eruption in 1787, further eruptions were recorded in 1789, 1795, 1803–04, and 1852. After nearly one and half century of dormancy, the island had another eruption in 1991 that lasted six months and caused considerable damage. There were eruptions in 1994–95 and 2005–07, the latter being considered to be linked to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
