"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

ETNA- APRIL 25 2013

Since yesterday, Mount Etna’s SE Crater has been emitting pulses of ash at regular intervals. The eruptive tremor and seismicity are still at relatively low levels but the situation may change rapidly. As Borris Behncke (INGV Catania) put it after the last paroxysm, the “preludes” are getting shorter and the volcano may erupt without warning.

Another picture that comes from the situation in the Etna. As you can see, we have a much higher activity than we have seen recently in the Sicilian giant

This is the aspect that now presents Etna from Catania. There are reports of major explosions at the summit and ashfall important in areas like BELPASSO

The Director of the Division of INGV Catania, Domenico Patane, confirmed that "this time is not a paroxysm, is an actual eruption. Early April already had indications that something was changing and a few days ago we had a very long pre-eruptive activity, began in the afternoon and 8 April 2013, with ash explosions that lasted until the afternoon of April 10, when it changed to strombolian explosions. During yesterday afternoon activity gradually increased to become almost continuously at night, with loud explosions and explosions and emissions of two small lava flows from the crater rim and the south-east of the "saddle" between the two Southeast crater cone. ""The last eruptive phase of this type, reminds us Patane occurred between May 2008 and July 2009 at the eastern base of the crater to the northeast."

One of Azerbaijan's largest volcanoes erupts [APA; 08 April 2013]

A lot of cracks appeared in the territory as a result of volcano, one of the cracks spread out over 2 km

Baku. Kamala Guliyeva – APA. Akhtarma-Pashali volcano in Hajigabul region of Azerbaijan has erupted, head of the ANAS Institute of Geology's Mud Volcano Department Adil Aliyev told APA.

He said the eruption was recorded on April 1. The scientists of the Institute of Geology have carried out research in the area:

“This is one of the largest volcanoes of Azerbaijan. Volcano is located 35 km from Shirvan city - in the south-eastern Shirvan. The volcano erupted for the first time in 1948, this is the 7th eruption.”

Aliyev said that along with mud the eruption also spouted a great deal of various rocks. “The volcano mud covered 18 hectares, the total area is 220 000 cu m. The average thickness of the spouted material is 120 cm. A lot of cracks have appeared as a result of the volcano. One of them is too big. It spread out over 2 km. The depth of the crack is 2 m, width between 30 – 80 cm. At present the volcano has calmed down. Usually flames are observed when mud volcanoes erupt. No flame is observed in this volcano,” he said.

According to the department chief, the diameter of the volcano is about 10 sq km meters: “Several volcanic areas separated from each other are located in the crater of eruption. Every time eruption occurs in a separated volcanic area. 21 percent of mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan pull a lot of oil out of surface. This volcano is also spewing oil. Oil soaked into all wastes. It should be noted that there was also oil shale. All of them will be studied in the laboratory and concrete information about the oil and gas resources of the area will be obtained after the tests.”

Mount Etna Eruptions Intensify, Town Buried in Ash (Apr 3)

The ninth eruption of Mount Etna in 2013 began this morning with loud rumbles felt over the entire eastern Sicily from Syracuse to Messina.  The explosions are perceptible even several kilometers away in the province of Catania.  The Strombolian eruptions are currently intensifying with the first high lava fountains, and the production of a cloud of pyroclastic material, which is being pushed by the wind to the south-east.

Zafferana Etnea, a small tourist town in the province of Catania with 9,450 residents, was hit by a heavy rain of ash and volcanic rocks by a powerful eruption on April 2 which blanketed the town in thick black volcanic debris.  Photos

Locals said they heard the explosions and felt violent shaking.  They said the air was humid, the sky went dark and there was no visibility. The Italian locals now have a massive clearing job to do as roads, gardens and rooftops were covered in up to ten centimetres of ash and stones.   Workers use special equipment to blow away the ash and collect solidified lava.

The damage was assessed “incalculable” and the region and the neighbouring municipalities have declared a state of emergency.  When the ash gets wet it takes on a cement-like quality and turns waterproof — causing flooding in streets and houses.
