A new effusive phase accompanied by intense spattering activity started at Stromboli volcano, Italy at 01:20 UTC on August 30, 2024. According to the INGV Etneo Observatory, a lava overflow was detected in the Sciara del Fuoco on August 30 by surveillance cameras. The overflow began at about 01:20 UTC and was fed by intense…
New activity/unrest was reported for 4 volcanoes from August 21 to 27, 2024. During the same period, ongoing activity was reported for 15 volcanoes.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions produced by the new eruption in Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland have reached Europe. The forecast and measured SO2 concentrations are currently below the recommended exposure threshold with no major impact on air quality and health.
A new eruption began in Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland, following an intense series of small earthquakes in the Sundhnúkar Crater Row between Stóra-Skógfell and Sýlingarfell at 20:48 UTC on August 22, 2024.
Satellite imagery has captured a continuous low-level eruption at New Zealand’s White Island volcano, with an ash plume rising to 2 100 m (7 000 feet) above sea level and drifting southeast at 9 km/h (5 mph) on Thursday, August 22, 2024. The eruption prompted 10 flight cancellations, according to Air New Zealand.
New activity/unrest was reported for 3 volcanoes from August 14 to 20, 2024. During the same period, ongoing activity was reported for 18 volcanoes.
Indonesian authorities are urging residents and tourists not to climb Mount Dukono, following a video showing dozens of climbers at the volcano’s peak when it suddenly erupted on Saturday, August 17, 2024.
A new explosive eruption began at the “300 years of RAS” lava dome at Sheveluch volcano, Kamchatka, Russia at 11:45 UTC on August 17, 2024.
White Island’s volcanic activity has intensified with increased gas emissions from a new vent, confirmed during a monitoring flight on August 14, 2024. GeoNet reported the findings on August 16, noting that while volcanic ash concentrations have risen, the likelihood of impact on the mainland remains very low.
Rising seismic activity and land deformation patterns in Iceland’s Svartsengi area resemble those observed before the last eruption in the Sundhnúkur crater row, indicating a potential for a new volcanic eruption in the near-term.
