"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

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.

New eruption at Barren Island volcano, Indian Ocean region

A new eruption seems to have started. An ash plume rising to 20,000 ft (6 km) altitude and drifting 120 nautical miles to the SW was reported last night by VAAC Darwin. The aviation color code was raised to RED.

Explosive Eruption at Paluweh Volcano [Earth Observatory: 12 Feb 2013]

Although the summit of Indonesia’s Paluweh (also known as Rokatenda) is shrouded by clouds, evidence of a recent eruption is visible on the slopes of the island volcano in this satellite image. After months of rumbling, an explosive eruption occurred on February 2 and 3, 2013. Gray ash from the eruption covers the southern slopes of the peak in this natural-color image. A lighter gray swath running from the hidden summit to the ocean traces the path of a volcanic landslide, likely the remnants of a pyroclastic flow. A brand-new delta extends into the Flores Sea at the foot of the flow. To the northwest, airborne ash swirls around the island. Green vegetation appears relatively untouched, but ash has destroyed many of the island’s crops, according to the Jakarta Globe.

Erik Klemetti, author of the Eruptions Blog, suggested that the eruption may have been caused by the collapse of an unstable lava dome. The number of small tremors and emissions of ash at Paluweh increased in October 2012, and continued into February 2013, perhaps indicating growth of the lava dome. This image was collected on February 12, 2013, by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite. According to the Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC), Paluweh has experience minor ash and gas emissions almost daily since the initial blast.
