Mayon volcano: eruption news and updates
Wed, 3 Jul 2019, 10:43
The volcano has been showing signs of unrest and it is likely preparing for its next eruption although it is left to speculation when it will start. ...moreDuring the reported 24-hour interval, the monitoring network recorded 7 volcanic earthquakes and one rockfall event. Weak to moderate emission of white steam-laden plumes were observed, PHIVOLCS reported. "Sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions were measured at an average of 680 tonnes/day on 14 June 2019 and precise leveling data obtained on 09 – 17 April 2019 indicate a slight inflation of the edifice relative to 20 – 26 March 2019. This is consistent with continuous GPS data showing that the edifice is still inflated since June 2018." [ less] [ read all]

Gas and light ash plume from Mayon at sunset today (Resthouse webcam) Earlier today, VAAC Tokyo sent an alert about a possible eruption and associated ash plume to 10,000 ft from the volcano, based on satellite imagery. ...moreHowever, webcam images only show a moderate steam plume from the volcano and there is no mention of an eruption in the latest report of the volcano observatory. For this reason, it is likely that no explosion took place actually and that a weather cloud was mistaken for an ash plume. The overall activity of the volcano remains low to moderate; weak glow can be seen at night from the crater and seismic data reveal occasional rock falls (probably originating from the previously emplaced 2018 lava flows at the summit). Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions are elevated, last measured at an average of 1,294 tonnes/day on 27 February 2019. The observatory recorded slight deflation during the past weeks, but reports that the longer trend of inflation of the mid-slopes since June 2018 is continuing. This means the volcano is gradually recharging towards its next eruption. [ less] [ read all]

More on VolcanoDiscovery:
 Fuego volcano photos: One of Central America's most active volcanoes, Fuego in Guatemala is in near-permanent explosive eruption with intermittent phases of increasing activity that generate lava fountains, lava flows and pyroclastic flows.  Divergent plate boundaries in oceans: Two ocean plates move apart from each other. Hot upwelling mantle material forms magmas that continuously produce new oceanic crust. An ocean widens.  Current activity of Bardarbunga volcano, Iceland: An intense seismic crisis started at Bárdarbunga volcano on 16 August 2014 and is continuing at the time of writing (23 Aug). It may or may not lead to a volcanic eruption, possibly under the Vatnajökull ice cap.
