Volcano watch
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

TOKYO - Mount Aso in southern Japan sent huge plumes of gray smoke as high as 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) into the air on Saturday in one of the volcano's biggest explosions in years.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said the explosion in the early hours of Saturday also blew off bits of volcanic rock and ash and raised the alert level for the area, extending the entry ban from just around the volcanic mouth to the mountain itself.
Footage on Japan's NHK public television showed orange flames flickering from several locations on the mountaintop as the volcano emitted thick gray smoke billowing into the sky.
There are no homes within the off-limit area and no injuries or major damage have been reported in nearby towns, though buildings and cars were covered with thick ash falls. Flights were largely unaffected, except for some delays.
A window at a youth center just a few kilometers (miles) away from the mountain suffered a crack apparently from volcanic rocks.
Masaaki Yamamoto, a manager at the center, told NHK that he heard small volcanic rocks hitting the exterior of the building, and found a crack in the window along with chunks of volcanic debris about the size of a golf ball near it.
Aso city, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of the volcano, set up evacuation centers as a precaution. Residents were washing off ash from external walls, plants and the streets before it dries up and spreads farther. Media reports said some ash falls were detected in parts of western Japan.
The area is still recovering from deadly earthquakes in April.
Mount Aso has repeated smaller eruptions in recent years. The agency said it was not known if the volano's recent activity was related to the earthquakes earlier this year, but it's in an unstable condition and could erupt again.
Japan sits atop the Pacific "ring of fire" and has more than 100 volcanoes.
Mount Aso had a smaller eruption in August while eruptions in 2014 disrupted tourism in the area.

Violent Eruption at Mexico's Colima Volcano Forces Evacuations (Sep 30)
Streams of lava and large plumes of ash emitted in a dramatic volcanic eruption has forced residents in the state of Colima, Mexico to leave their homes.
Over 300 people were ordered to evacuate villages in the foothills of Volcan de Fuego, the 3,839-meter mountain which towers over the states of Jalisco and Colima.
Late Friday, Colima State Governor Jose Ignacio Peralta ordered people to evacuate from the nearby villages of La Becerrera and La Yerbabuena because of lava and noxious gases being emitted by the volcano.
Members of the National Civil Protection, Mexico’s Army and the State Civil Protection Unit have been deployed to transport residents to emergency hostels away from the danger.
People are also being warned to stay away from rivers and ravines close to the volcano, for fear the lava could take a path of least resistance and rush downhill.

Costa Rica's Turrialba Volcano Spews Ash for 5th Consecutive Day (Sep 30)
Turrialba Volcano continued spewing ash and gases on Thursday in one of its longest eruptive events this year.
The ash spewing at Turrialba, located some 50 kilometers (30 miles) northeast of the capital San José in Cartago province, began shortly after noon on Monday. Ash and vapor formed a column that varies in height from 500 meters to 2,000 meters (1,640 feet to 6,560 feet) above the crater, RSN reported.
Eruptions at Turrialba last week caused the Juan Santamaría International Airport in Alajuela, outside of San José, to close for nearly 24 hours. The airport has remained open this week although some flights were delayed Thursday morning.
The National Meteorological Institute reported that wind is currently carrying ash mainly towards the northern areas of the Central Valley.
On Thursday, RSN received reports on its social media profiles of persistent ashfall in communities in the northern parts of Cartago, San José, Heredia and Alajuela provinces.
The National University’s Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (OVSICORI) also noted that some people are reporting ashfall in various areas of the Caribbean province of Limón, mostly in Guápiles.
In addition to ashfall, people said they smelled sulfur in the air north and east of the capital, in Coronado, Moravia, Tibás, Zapote, Curridabat and Montes de Oca, and also in Cartago and Heredia provinces.

Multiple Eruptions at Guatemala's Fuego Volcano (Sep 27)
A series of eruptions at Guatemala's Fuego volcano spewed lava and sent ash raining down near the capital.
The volcano is maintaining "moderate to heavy explosions," according to the National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology.
The eruptions have sent an ash column up into the sky, reaching about 5,000 meters (16,400 feet) above sea level. The column is moving more than 20 kilometers (12 miles) westwards and southwest.
The rumbling 3,763-meter-high volcano is located 45 kilometers southwest of the capital Guatemala City. The incandescent lava at the top of the crater is feeding two rivers of lava.
The falling ash is affecting a number of communities, especially the town of Yepocapa, near the volcano.
The institute recommended that aviation authorities take precautions with air-traffic control.

Indonesian Volcano Erupts, Flight Cancellations Strand Hundreds (Sep 27)
Volcanic activity has once again stopped travellers in their tracks with Jetstar, Virgin and Tigerair cancelling a string of flights between Australia and Bali during the busy school holiday period.
Mount Barujari, a sub-volcano of Mount Rinjani in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), erupted at around 2:45 p.m. local time on Tuesday, spewing volcanic ash around 2,000 meters into the sky.
Hundreds of passengers of the three air carriers, which fly between Bali and the Australian cities of Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney, were stranded at the Denpassar Airport.
Mt Barujari’s volcanic ash drifted to southwestern areas, including North Lombok and Mataram.

Costa Rica's Turrialba Volcano Eruptions Continue (Sep 22)
Over the past few days, Turrialba has had over 20 significant, ash-rich explosions that have ended up closing airports across the country.
The latest eruption on Sep 22 remained constant for nearly 4 hours, spewing ash, gas and vapor almost 3,000 meters (some 9,800 feet) above the crater.
The National University’s Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (OVSICORI) reported that wind conditions prompted ash to reach northern areas of Heredia and Alajuela provinces.
Ash also reached the Braulio Carrillo National Park, Guápiles and other communities in the Caribbean province of Limón.

Turrialba Volcano Closes Costa Rica Airports (Sep 19)
Two of Costa Rica's airports were closed after Turrialba volcano erupted twice on Monday, sending incandescent rocks and thick ash into the sky.
The first eruption occurred at 2:53 a.m. and lasted about 15 minutes. The explosion launched ashes, gases and incandescent rocks into the air to about 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) above the volcano’s crater, UNA’s Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (OVSICORI) reported.
The second explosion occurred at 11:32 a.m. and spewed material about 13,000 feet into the air, the agency said.
OVSICORI volcanologist María Martínez said that after the second explosion, reports were received of ash falling in communities north and west of San José, including Coronado, Moravia, Tibás, Guadalupe, Escazú and as far away as Alajuela province.
Operations at the Juan Santamaria International Airport, the country’s main air terminal, and the Tobias Bolanos airport, were suspended until conditions improve, according to the chief of the Civil Aviation Directorate Ennio Cubillo.
Authorities also considered whether to limit the general aviation activities at the Daniel Oduber International Airport located in the northwest of the Central American nation.

Soon to Blow? Iceland’s Katla Volcano Rattled By Unusually Strong Earthquakes
30.08.2016
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20160830/1044756491/iceland-katla-vol...
Katla, one of Iceland's largest volcanoes, was rocked by two abnormally strong earthquakes Monday morning, raising concerns that the volcano may soon erupt.
The southern-Iceland volcano has not erupted since 1918, and scientists believe that a violent release is long overdu
In the early hours on Monday the area was hit by magnitude 4.5 and 4.6 quakes, similar to movements it experienced in 2011.
The nearby Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted in 2010, creating so much dense ash that it shut down a large area of airspace for nearly a week.
Interestingly, the volcano is covered by a large icecap, which would likely delay the eruption for around 60 to 90 minutes, according to Roberts. The delay could give people time to evacuate and assist air traffic control in redirecting aircraft. The ice cap itself presents hazards, though. “The other hazard might be a jökulhlaup, or glacial outburst flood. Melting from the summer within the Myrdalsjökull icecap and that meltwater can accumulate until it spills over as a flood of water, ice, and debris. These have occurred often and do not need to be associated with any volcanic activity,” Wired explained.------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earthquakes, earthquake swarm at Campi Flegrei: Pozzuoli shock, felt by the population - ITALY
August 30, 2016
The seismic swarm was caused by a volcanic phenomenon, namely the lifting of the ground (bradisismo) in place at Campi Flegrei

A very superficial seismic swarm was detected yesterday afternoon at Campi Flegrei: starting at 16:22 (local time) on August 29, 2016, explains the Vesuvius Observatory, "it was recorded a swarm of 40 events in the area of Campi Flegrei. The major energy event, recorded at 17:45, had a magnitude of 1.7. The area affected by the swarm is to Pisciarelli-Solfatara. The depth of the events is approximately 1 km below the sea level. The last event (instrumental) of the swarm was recorded at 18:27 ".
The population, in the afternoon, in the upper area of Pozzuoli near the Solfatara volcano, warned both the roar is the vibration of the ground.
There are no connections to the earthquake in central Italy, as, announces the Vesuvius Observatory, the seismic swarm was caused by a volcanic phenomenon, namely the lifting of the ground (bradisismo) in place at Campi Flegrei.
At the moment is in place a phase of lifting of a few millimeters per year. The most relevant event was recorded last October with a swarm of over center shook with maximum magnitude of 2.3, the occasion felt directly by the people
