Kliuchevsky volcano is showing regular strombolian activity, with jets of incandescent lava and ash clouds reaching several hundreds meters, as shown on recently published photos on the KVERT website.
Thu, 24 Jun 2010, 09:52The lava dome on Montserrat is again growing. The latest USGS/GVP activity report summarizes the recent activity: "MVO reported that pyroclastic flows from the Soufrière Hills lava dome occurred during 11-18 June. One of the largest pyroclastic flows traveled W down Gages Valley;others originated from within the collapse scar. A thermal camera showed several hot areas on the lava dome,likely exposed from rockfall and pyroclastic flow activity. On 28 June a small lahar descended the Belham Valley,to the NW. The Hazard Level remained at 3."
