HVO reported that during 12-18 September fissure segment D fromKilauea's 21 July fissure eruption continued to feed an advancing 'a'a
lava flow that frequently overflowed its channel edges. Several of the
lava flows that branched from the main channel continued to advance,
widening the flow field. An 'a'a flow that developed within the
previous two weeks crusted over and pahoehoe breakouts issued from
near the flow front on 14 September. A few small earthquakes were
located beneath Halema'uma'u crater, the S flank, and the lower SW
rift zone during the reporting period.

CVGHM reported that the Alert Status of Kelut was raised on 29 September from 2 to 3 (on a scale of 1-4) based on observations, increased seismic activity, deformation measurements, and changes of crater lake water chemistry and temperature. Villagers and tourists were advised not go within a 5 km radius of the active crater. Read all- More about Kelud volcano

Data from deformation-monitoring instruments indicated that during 26 September-2 October lava-dome growth at Mount St. Helens continued. Seismicity persisted at low levels, punctuated by M 1.5-2.5, and occasionally larger, earthquakes. Clouds occasionally inhibited visual observations. Read all- More about Mount St. Helens volcano
Wed, 26 Sep 2007, 06:00
MVO reported that during 26 September-2 October the lava dome at Soufrière Hills changed very little, based on visual observations. Seismic activity was very low and low-level rockfall activity continued. On 26 September, lahars were noted in several drainages, including the Belham river valley to the NW.
