A lava overflow started from Stromboli’s North Crater area at around 10:00 UTC (11:00 LT) on November 9, 2025, feeding a lava flow on the upper Sciara del Fuoco. The activity, observed by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) through surveillance cameras, was accompanied by modest but continuous spattering from at least two vents in the North Crater area.
Episode 36 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption at Kīlauea volcano, Hawaiʻi, ended at 16:16 LT on November 9 (02:16 UTC, November 10), 2025, after just under 5 hours of continuous fountaining. The event produced record-high lava effusion rates of around 500 m³/s (650 yd³/s) and built fountains up to 330 m (1 100 feet) high, covering 60–80% of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor.
Minor ash emissions were confirmed at Whakaari / White Island, New Zealand, following two short-lived eruptions on October 30, 2025. The Volcanic Alert Level remains at 3 and the Aviation Color Code at Orange, indicating minor eruptive activity with uncertain future development. An observation flight on November 3 confirmed an ash plume rising 400–500 m (1 300–1 600 feet) above sea level, drifting southeast for 5–8 km (3–5 miles).
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has issued a lahar advisory for Kanlaon Volcano on Negros Island, warning that heavy to intense rainfall from Severe Tropical Storm Tino (#TinoPH) may generate volcanic sediment flows on the volcano’s southern and western slopes while Alert Level 2 remains in effect.
A small explosion occurred at Korovin volcano on Atka Island, Alaska, at 21:27 AKDT on October 29, 2025, prompting the Alaska Volcano Observatory to raise the Aviation Color Code and Alert Level to Yellow / Advisory.
Four short-lived eruptions were recorded at the northeastern portion of the Taal Main Crater between October 25 and 26, 2025, producing dense plumes 1 200–2 100 m (3 900–6 900 feet) high and minor ashfall over nearby barangays in Laurel and Agoncillo, Batangas Province. PHIVOLCS classified the events as minor phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions, with associated shockwaves and localized pyroclastic density currents, but maintained Alert Level 1 (low-level unrest) over the volcano.
A secondary lahar flow originating from remobilized pyroclastic and tephra deposits on the southern flank of Mount Semeru, Indonesia, occurred on October 21, 2025, trapping a truck near Gladak Perak Bridge in Lumajang Regency, East Java. The rain-induced lahar, classified as a cold, non-eruptive sediment-water flow, moved through the Besuk Kobokan drainage, carrying a dense slurry of volcanic debris and runoff.
A strong seismic swarm began beneath Iceland’s Mýrdalsjökull glacier, part of the Katla volcanic system, around 10:30 UTC on October 20, 2025. Several earthquakes above magnitude 3 were recorded, the largest reaching M4.5 at 10:51 UTC. The Icelandic Meteorological Office reports no felt activity and no changes in river levels, conductivity, or deformation, indicating no immediate signs of eruption at the Katla volcano or glacial flooding.
Episode 35 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption at Kīlauea volcano began at 20:05 HST on October 17, 2025 (06:05 UTC on October 18), producing simultaneous fountains from the north and south vents that reached record heights of approximately 460 m (1 500 feet). The eruption cloud rose above 6 000 m (20 000 feet) while lava flows remained contained within the crater.
A high-level eruption occurred at Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano on Flores Island, Indonesia, at 23:37 WITA (15:37 UTC) on October 14, 2025, producing an ash column rising to 13 700 m (44 500 feet) above sea level. The Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) raised the Aviation Color Code to Red after Himawari-8 satellite imagery confirmed ash extending northwest at approximately 28 km/h (17 mph).
