Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity

Fogo (Cape Verde): The eruption continues its destructive work: the lava effusion from the vents remains at moderate intensity and feeds various active flows that spread in the Cha Caldera. While the foremost front that had destroyed Portela and Bangaeira two weeks ago is no longer active, several lateral breakouts continue to spread in the caldera.

Shiveluch (Kamchatka): A moderately strong explosive eruption occurred Saturday night. An ash plume rose to estimated 22,000 ft (6.5 km) altitude and bright glow was visible on webcam imagery, likely from incandescent material deposited during a dome collapse event.

Kilauea (Hawai'i): The lava flow advance has further slowed down, giving Pahoa some hope it might not reach it or at least not as soon as feared. "Since yesterday ,the leading edge of the active flow had advanced about 78 m since Saturday morning flight, and is currently about 0.6 miles (1.0 km) up slope from the intersection of Highway 130 and Pāhoa Village Rd. This number reflects an overall decrease of advancement rate during the past several days." (HVO)
