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

Sinabung Volcano erupts in Indonesia, forcing evacuations
Updated 12:04 PM ET, Sat June 6, 2015
CNN)Thick plumes of volcanic ash and flowing lava are spewing from Mount Sinabung.
About 2,700 people have been evacuated from the Indonesian island of Sumatra because of the increased volcanic activity in the region during the past two weeks.
Those who have been evacuated are from four villages south and southeast of the volcano's crater.
BNPB, the national disaster management agency for Indonesia, raised the alert status level for the volcano on Friday.
Earlier in the week, Mount Sinabung's lava dome, rounded mounds built by thick magma, had increased volume and was unstable, BNPB reported.
Photography student Ahmad Zikri Mohamad Zuki, 23, has been capturing the eruption for the past week on Instagram.
For the past week, he said pyroclastic flows -- avalanche-like hot ash, rocks and gas -- have been rushing down the sides of Mount Sinabung. These pyroclastic flows can cascade down a volcano as fast as 60 miles per hour. And temperatures can soar above 932 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Zuki, who lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, said he was surprised but also excited to see the volcano come to life again. He has been documenting Mount Sinabung's volcanic activity since 2014.
The country's government agencies have set up public shelters and kitchens to aid those who have evacuated, and volcanic activity will continue to be monitored by Indonesian authorities.
The Indonesian archipelago consists of more than 13,000 islands and more than 75% of Indonesian residents live within 62 miles of volcanoes that have had some activity during the last century, according to USGS.

Thousands evacuated as
Sinabung’s alert status
increasedThousands of people living in the dangerous zone around Mount Sinabung in the Karo regency of North Sumatra were evacuated on Wednesday as the alert status of the volcano has been increased to the highest level.
Commander of the Mount Sinabung Disaster Mitigation Agency task force, Lt. Col. Asep Sukarna, said that the people within a radius of seven kilometers from the crater were evacuated to a temporary evacuation center at the Parish Catholic Church in Kabanjahe, the regency’s capital.
“Until this afternoon the evacuation is still going on,” Asep told The Jakarta Post, Wednesday, estimating that 1,500 residents had been evacuated.
Asep, who is also commander of Military District Command 0205 Karo, said that 600 joint personnel from the military, the police and the regency administration and 12 trucks had been deployed to evacuate the people since 3 p.m. local time.
Based on a recommendation from the volcanology agency, Asep said, residents in nine subdistricts had to be evacuated.
Yet, he added, the evacuation was focused on the subdistricts of Gurukinayan, Sibintun, Pintu Besi and Tiga Pancur.
Residents of Gurukinayan and Sibintun were once evacuated during previous eruptions and had recently returned home as Sinabung showed decreasing activity. Those of Pintu Besi and Tiga Pancur, on the other hand, have never experienced an evacuation.
Head of Mt. Sinabung Observation Post, Armen Putra, said that the alert status of the volcano had been officially increased from Siaga (second highest) to Awas (highest) since 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
Armen said the increase was made based on signs of possible big eruptions, which could spew pyroclastic flows in a seven kilometer radius around the volcano. The signs include the huge mass of lava at the peak of Sinabung’s crater.
“The pile of lava amounts to three million cubic meters. If it erupts, the dome can slide down as far as seven kilometers,” Armen told the Post, Wednesday.
Avalanches of hot lava, Armen said, had also been more frequently occurring. If on Sunday avalanches of hot lava occurred only 100 times, they increased to 150 times the following day.
Armen also said that his side had sent a letter to the Karo regency administration to recommend the evacuation of people residing in the nine subdistricts of Sukameriah, Bekerah, Simacem, Berastepu, Gamber, Gurukinayan, Kuta Tengah, Tiga Pancur and Pintu Besi.
Karo regent Terkelin Brahmana confirmed this statement, saying that a meeting with the local military and police was promptly held to follow up on the recommendation.
“The meeting [committee] decided that the evacuation starts today. We want to act quickly before Sinabung erupts,” Terkelin said after the meeting on Wednesday.
He said he had coordinated with other stakeholders to prepare for strategic steps to deal with the evacuation.
“This is not the first evacuation we ever conducted. We have evacuated people several times since the eruptions of Sinabung in 2010. We are prepared,” Terkelin said.
Head of Gurukinayan subdistrict Pelin Sembiring said that hundreds of his people remained in the subdistrict to farm, but they were willing to evacuate because it was for their own safety.Source: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/06/04/thousands-evacuated-s...

Powerful Eruption at Wolf Volcano in Galapagos (May 25)
A spectacular effusive-explosive eruption is occurring at Wolf volcano on Isabela Island in the Galapagos Islands off Ecuador.
Tall lava fountains produced an immense ash plume that rose to up to 45,000 ft (14 km) altitude.
At the same time, several lava flows are descending from the vents from a fissure on the volcano.
The last eruption of Wolf volcano, a 1710 m tall shield volcano, was in 1982.
