CVGHM lowered the Alert Status of Kelut on 8 November from 4 to 3 (on a scale of 1-4), due to a decrease in seismicity and deformation. Temperatures of the crater lake were measured at 75 deg C on 6 Nov, and 150-210 deg C on the surface of the new lava dome. According to a local news article, a volcanologist reported that the lava dome was 250 m in diameter and 120 m above the crater lake surface. On 11 November, a plume rose to an altitude of 3.7 km (12,000 ft) a.s.l. and ashfall was reported in several areas.
CVGHM recommended that evacuees could return to their homes, but should stay clear of the mountain within a 3-km radius was restricted. [lire toutes]

There is still high activity inside the crater of mount Kelud. In the crater lake a small island is growing (probably a kind of lava dome). There is also a high seismic activity and many tremors that show upcomming lava. Steam from the cooking lake is rising up to 1000 m. It is possible that a big explosion may happen or a rupture of the new island inside the crater lake. The volcano is under close observation by volcanologists. ...plus [lire toutes]

As the news report, the lake in the Kelud crater has reached temperatures of more than 90 C. The heating of the crater lake indicates that magma is rising in the fault system of Keluds vent. Probably there is a volcano dome beeing built up in the crater that plugs the vent and leads to high preasure inside the system. In connection with overheated steam there may be a huge explosion of the crater top in the next hours or days. The region around the volcano is in highest danger of mud flows and pyroclastic flows. About 100.000 people living around the volcano have been evacuated already two weeks ago, but still a few people remain on their own risk in their homes. [lire toutes]

The Indonesian Maount Kelud volcano seems to have erupted like a top official said on Saturday. Based on seismograpic data there have been several eruptions that could not be seen, because of dense clouds over the mountains top. ...plus [lire toutes]

CVGHM reported that the Alert Level for Kelut remained at 4 (on a
scale of 1-4) during 17-23 October. According to news articles,
several thousand evacuated people remained in shelters. [lire toutes]

The Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (CVGHM) raised the altert status of Kelut volcano on 16 October from 3 to 4 (on a scale of 1-4). During 15-28 September, gas discharge from the crater lake increased and spread in a radius of 5 m. Inflation around the summit occurred during 13-16 October. On 16 October, the temperature in the crater lake increased to 37.8 degrees C.

CVGHM reported that the Alert Status of Kelut was raised on 11 September from 1 to 2 (on a scale of 1-4). According to a news report, the water in the crater lake increased in temperature and changed color from the usual green to yellow. Villagers and tourists were advised not go within a 5 km radius of the active crater.
