Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity:
Etna (Sicily, Italy): After a phase of complete quiet since 13 September, weak ash emissions occurred again at the New SE crater during the night 16-17 Sep, accompanied by a slight rise of tremor. This activity ceased again during the early hours of today.
Sinabung (Sumatra, Indonesia): A powerful explosion occurred this morning. An ash plume rose to about 6 km height. The volcano continued with near-constant ash venting following the eruption. There are no reports of victims, but ash fall in the area is damaging crops, and prices for vegetables have jumped up.
