Both explosive and effusive activity have been low today. Read all- More about Fuego volcano
Thu, 31 Jan 2013, 12:11
Etna (Sicily, Italy): Etna has returned to apparent calm, but it is probably only a matter of days before new activity appears, likely at either Bocca Nuova or the New SE crater. Diffuse ash emissions seem to be occurring from the latter (see image). Read allThu, 31 Jan 2013, 10:17
Intermittent mild to moderate explosive activity has continued at Tavurvur during the past week. Ash explosions and semi-continuous ash venting produced plumes rising up to about 1 km and alternated with periods of calm steaming. Read all- More about Rabaul (Tavurvur) volcano
Thu, 31 Jan 2013, 07:31
Explosions from the volcano have become more infrequent, but two new explosions occurred this morning at 6:54 and 10:44 am local time. The eruptions produced booms heard in the nearby villages, but due to cloud cover could not be well observed. The local volcano observatory estimated the height of the plume about 800 meters.

During the recent gas-measuring flight, GNS scientists measured slightly increased levels of volcanic gas output. Seismic activity has reverted to a continuous tremor and remains at a high level, but GNS does not think a larger eruption is imminent.

Seismic activity remains high, but seems to be slowly decreasing. A steam plume and weak glow from the summit could be observed yesterday.- More about Reventador volcano
Thu, 31 Jan 2013, 07:04
Numerous small volcanic earthquakes and continuous weak tremor are being recorded and there seems to be a slow increase over time as a sign that the volcano could erupt again soon. IGPEN characterizes the level of activity as "moderate".

Thu, 31 Jan 2013, 06:48
Sporadic small steam and sometimes ash emissions continue to be observed from time to time, such as on 22 and 27 Jan. Low-energy tremor pulses accompany the emissions. Seismicity has been of low energy during the past week. - More about Galeras volcano
Thu, 31 Jan 2013, 06:36
There is no surface activity, but continuing seismic unrest including some volcanic-tectonic quakes in two areas southeast of the summit come, at 2-4 km and 12-15 km depth.- More about Machin volcano
Thu, 31 Jan 2013, 06:12
Strong degassing has produced an SO2 signal visible on yesterday's NOOA satellite data. Numerous small volcanic earthquakes and short periods of volcanic tremor continue to occur at the volcano.- More about Nevado del Ruiz volcano
Thu, 31 Jan 2013, 06:05
The volcano has been quiet so far after Tuesday's powerful vulcanian explosion that produced an ash column 3 km high and ejected many incandescent bombs onto the upper flanks of the volcano. Read all- More about Colima volcano
