Volcanos

Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity

Fogo (Cape Verde): Lava effusion continues from the vents, while explosive activity there has more or less ended. Lava is fed through tubes to active breakouts at different locations inside the Cha caldera. One area with active breakouts remains the former locations of Portela-Bangaeira villages, where by now almost all buildings have disappeared.

Kilauea (Hawai'i): The lava flow front that has been progressing towards the Pāhoa Marketplace, is currently stalled at approx. 600 m distance, to the relief of Pahoa. However, several breakouts are active in several areas behind the inactive front.
