The Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador is spewing out red-hot rocks and billowing coarse ash with pyroclastic flows. The South American country’s Geophysical Institute – IGEPN says the increased activity began Sunday afternoon. It says the volcano has thrown pyroclastic
The Colombian volcano monitoring institute INGEOMINAS has raised the alarm level for Galeras volcano, after a number of a characteristic seismic signal often preceding eruptions at Galeras. One phenomenon, which seems to be a reliable precursor to eruptive activity,
A dark plume of volcanic ash drifted from the Soufriere Hills volcano southwest across the Caribbean Sea on November 21, 2011. Although the hazard level was recently lowered, the potential for reoccurring eruptions remains quite real. On November 4, the National
The Guatemalan geophysical survey SERNAGEOMIN reports increasing explosive activity from Fuego volcano, one of the country’s most active volcanoes. Fuego was observed producing ash clouds reaching 1500-2000 m above the summit crater (at ca. 3600 m altitude) which
Mexico’s Popocatepetl volcano has spewed a burst of ash 3 miles (5 kilometers) into the air after breaking through a dome of lava. The Popocatepetl volcano erupted with a plume of ash after shaking for several minutes early on Friday. The volcano’s activity has
More than five months after its initial explosive eruption, Chile’s Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano continues to produce impressive plumes of ash. Most of the ash is from the powerful early eruption. The first plumes flew high into the atmosphere and circled the
The earthquakes are increasing gradually in number at El Hierro submarine volcano area. Since midnight IGN has listed 37 earthquakes. The strongest one was at 15:32 UTC a 3.7 earthquake was listed by IGN and felt by the Herreños. The epicenter was close to the
Excellent EarthquakeReport web portal, which we highly recommend and respect the effort that was put in the project, started WORLD VOLCANOES – webcam page on November 15. The page is an attempt to compile the volcano webcams of the world. This page can be kept up to
Chile’s Puyehue Cordón-Caulle volcano continues to pump out large amounts of ash despite being classified as a “minor” eruption. According to SERNAGEOMIN, the Chilean National Service of Geology and Mining, ash rose to a height of 5…
The whirlpool activity at El Hierro is still very strong and so is the harmonic tremor graph who is still saturated. The current activity is needed to feed at least 3 active vents who are spewing magmatic material into the sea. Sometime later today or later
