Volcanic activity at Shishaldin volcano in Alaska, U.S. further increased on July 18, 2023, with increased lava flow and large ash emission. As a result, the Aviation Color Code was raised to Red.
The eruption of Shishaldin Volcano has intensified, the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) announced at 05:52 UTC on July 16, 2023, and raised the Aviation Color Code to Orange. At 07:57 UTC, the Aviation Color Code was raised to Red and the Volcano Alert Level to WARNING.
Volcanologists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) are reporting increased activity at Shishaldin volcano. As a result, the Aviation Color Code was raised to Orange.
A study conducted by scientists at Purdue University reveals that the Great Sitkin volcano, one of the most active in Alaska, has two magma chambers. This discovery explains the changing locations of seismic activity that has perplexed scientists since the volcano began erupting in May 2021.
An increase in seismicity has been observed at Iliamna volcano beginning at 20:00 UTC on June 5, 2023. As a result, the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) raised the Aviation Color Code and Volcano Alert level for Iliamna to Yellow and Advisory.
Slow eruption of lava continues at Great Sitkin volcano, Alaska, producing a thick lava flow within the summit crater.
Active seismic activity beneath the Tanaga and Takawangha volcanoes on Tanaga Island, Alaska, approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) apart, has increased the potential for eruption, according to official reports from the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO).
In response to increased seismicity beneath the Tanaga volcano detected on March 6 and 7, 2023, the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) raised the Aviation Color Code to Yellow and the Volcano Alert Level to Advisory.
On February 22, 2023, the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) raised the alert level of Trident Volcano to ADVISORY and the Aviation Color Code to YELLOW due to an increase in seismic activity beneath the volcano. The last eruption at this volcano was in 1974 (VEI 3).
The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) has raised the Aviation Color Code to YELLOW and the Volcano Alert Level to ADVISORY for Aniakchak volcano on February 23, 2023, following an increase in seismic activity. The last eruption at this volcano took place in 1931 (VEI 4).
