"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

First visual information about the situation on Anak Krakatau island group itself has come in, revealing that a large part of Anak Krakatau's SW flank has collapsed, which most likely is the trigger for last night's tsunami.

An overflight of was undertaken today by the Kumparan agency and revealed continuous, violent phreatomagmatic explosions, i.e. driven by lava and water interaction.

Tsunami strikes Indonesia killing at least 40 people and injuring 600 more after Krakatoa blows its top as volcanic ash spreads across the region threatening holiday flights

• Indonesia's Disaster Mitigation Agency said at least 40 people have been confirmed killed in the tsunami
• A further 600 people have been injured after the wave hit beaches around the Sunda Strait 
• It is believed the wave was caused by seismic activity from the volcanic eruption on nearby Krakatoa 
• Pilots operating in the region have been warned about a volcanic ash cloud spreading from the eruption site 

At least 40 people have been killed after a tsunami caused by a volcanic eruption hit beaches in Indonesia. 

The wave hit beaches around the Sunda Strait late on Saturday night. 

The country's Disaster Mitigation Agency confirmed around 600 people have been injured. 

A tsunami alert was issued and people in low-lying areas fled to higher ground. 

Indonesian officials believe the tsunami was caused by an eruption on nearby Krakatoa, which has been spewing volcanic ash into the air. 

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has been monitoring the situation and has issued a red warning to airline pilots operating in the region that an ash cloud is spreading south west from the volcano to an altitude of 55,000 feet.   

Survivors of the Indonesian tsunami which killed 40 and injured a further 600 sheltered in a mosque after they evacuated to higher ground in case of further flooding

Killer wave was believed to have been caused by a volcanic eruption on nearby Krakatoa

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has issued a warning to airline pilots working in the region that a volcanic ash cloud is heading south west from the scene of of the eruption up to an altitude of 55,000 feet

It is believed the tsunami was caused by an undersea landslide following the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano. 

It is understood the wave hit beaches on the Sunda Strait - between the islands of Java and Sumatra. 

In September, at least 832 people were killed by a quake and tsunami that hit the city of Palu on the island of Sulawesi, which is just east of Borneo. 

A volcanic eruption in Krakatoa in 1883 was one of the deadliest in recorded history killing more than 36,000 people. 

A video circulating on Twitter shows a two-foot high wave washing ashore. Later photographs show cars overturned and buildings destroyed. 

However, local media said Indonesian authorities warned coastal areas could be hit by 7-foot high waves.  

The Meteorology and Geophysics agency in a separate statement said it could have been caused by undersea landslides from the eruption of Anak Krakatau, a volcanic island formed over years from the nearby Krakatau volcano. It also cited tidal waves caused by the full moon.

The number of victims is likely to increase because not all affected areas have been assessed, said disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.

One witness,  Øystein Lund Andersen wrote on Facebook: 'I had to run, as the wave passed the beach and landed 15-20m (meters) inland. Next wave entered the hotel area where i was staying and downed cars on the road behind it. Managed to evacuate with my family to higher ground trough forest paths and villages, where we are taken care of (by) the locals. Were unharmed, thankfully.'

He said he had been taking photographs of the eruption on Krakatoa when the wave struck. 

He added: 'So encountered my first tsunami it seems, hopefully my last.'

 GUATEMALA CITY — Disaster coordination authorities have asked 10 communities in Guatemala to evacuate and go to safe areas after an increased eruption of the Volcano of Fire.

The 10 communities have at least 2,000 residents, but each community will decide if they evacuate or not. Antigua al Rescate, an organization that helped communities after a devastating eruption in June, and a newspaper in the capital reported at least three communities were doing so.

Images of the volcano after midnight showed glowing lava at the summit. The volcano is located among the departments of Escuintla, Chimaltenango and Sacatepéquez in the south-central part of the country.

David de León, spokesman for the National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction, told The Associated Press that at least eight communities should leave.

Katla volcano releases massive amount of CO2 daily ICELAND

September 13, 2018

http://www.jonfr.com/volcano/?p=7666

According to new study into CO2 release of Katla volcano the amount released by the volcano is massive. According to the news on Rúv the daily amount released of CO2 is 20 kiloton (1 kiloton = 1000 tons). What is not known today is if this high release of CO2 is constant or if it fluctuates during the year. More reaches is needed into that possible.

I don’t know how much magma is needed for this amount of CO2 release from Katla volcano. What I do know is that it is not little amount of magma inside Katla volcano.

Alert Level Raised to Orange on Mount Veniaminof Volcano

September 11 2018 (Alaska)

The Alaska Volcano Observatory raised the alert level on Mount Veniaminof last week after satellite imagery showed low-level ash emissions emanating from the volcano’s caldera.

The alert level was raised from green to yellow on September 3rd after increased seismic activity was detected and raised further the next day to orange after ash was detected.

Veniaminof, an 8,225-foot stratovolcano is one of the largest and most active volcanos in the Aleutian arc. In the past 200 years, the volcano has erupted at least 13 times.

Passengers on the Tustumena spotted lava flowing and fountaining from the volcano as it transited the area traveling from Sand Point to Chignik on Monday.

Papua New Guinea Volcano Spews Ash 15 Kilometers High, Thousands Flee (Aug 25) 

An island volcano on the north coast of Papua New Guinea erupted early on Saturday, forcing 2,000 villagers to flee from lava flows.

Manam Island, just 10 km (6 miles) wide, is one of the Pacific nation's most active volcanoes and is home to roughly 9,000 people.

Three villages were directly in the path of the lava flow and residents had to be evacuated to safer ground.

The Rabaul Volcano Observatory (RVO) reported the eruption began at 6 a.m. local time (2000 GMT Friday), sending an ash column 15 km (50,000 feet) above sea level.

The ash falls were so heavy that trees broke under the weight, the RVO said in an information bulletin.

'The most affected areas are Baliau and Kuluguma and due to the very poor visibility caused by the ash fall, people are using torch light to move around,' it said.

The RVO's Steve Saunders said it was an unusually large eruption.

'There are no casualties as far as we know but we are telling people to keep away from valleys for risk of mud flows. There's a heavy thick blanket of ash on the flank and if there is heavy rainfall, we are making people aware of the threat,' he said by phone. Saunders said the initial phase of the eruption was over but a new vent had opened, indicating more activity may be likely.

Manam Island, just 10 km (6 miles) wide, is one of the Pacific nation's most active volcanoes and is home to roughly 9,000 people. The Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (DVAAC) issued a threat warning to aviation to reroute around the cloud, which was above the cruising level of commercial airlines.

Previous eruptions on Manam have killed residents who breathed in the ash or were buried by landslides, according to volcanic information website volcanodiscovery.com.

Etna presents a rising summit activity for the past few days, with Bocca Nuova's nighttime glow and Strombolian explosions at the NSEC.

In the crater Bocca Nuova, strombolian activity of the mouth BN-1 is increasingly important. In addition, in the south-eastern part of Nuova Bocca, on August 16, the mouth BN-2 opened, after being inactive since December 2015; it produces intense degassing with high temperatures alternating with strombolian activity which remains confined for the moment inside the crater.

Etna, Krakatau, Sabancaya and Devil's Woodyard activities

An eruption occurred at Anak Krakatau on August 23, 2018 at 18:07 WIB. It is characterized by a black ash plume 700 meters high above the crater (1.005 m asl.), a duration of 31 seconds and a maximum amplitude of 27 mm on the seismogram.

The alert level remains at 2, with a forbidden area of ​​2 km radius around the crater.

G Peru reports intense ash emissions on August 23 at Sabancaya; they disperse to the northeast and east over 80 km, and are accompanied by a plume rising to 4,000 meters in height.

The Devil's Woodyard mud volcano erupted on August 21 shortly after the M 6.9 earthquake that rocked Trinidad & Tobago.

Residents close to the site heard muffled sounds coming from it. At least eight active cones ejected mud near the vents and the gas outlet was observed, especially constant from the central vent.

A new step fracture has been noted.

According to Professor R. Robert Stevenson, director of the UWI seismic research center, there is a possible connection between seismic activity and that of mud volcanoes, to be verified before affirming it.
