Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity
Fogo (Cape Verde): The intensity of the eruption has strongly decreased, and the lava flows that have been destroying Portela seems to have at least temporarily stopped.
Cerro Negro de Mayasquer (Colombia): The volcano's alert level was decreased to Yellow. Seismic remains above background, but has decreased significantly recently.
Momotombo (Nicaragua): The volcano remains restless. A small earthquake swarm started this morning under the northern flank of the volcano. The earthquakes are small (below mag. 3) and located at 5-10 km depth.
Copahue (Chile/Argentina): The volcano continues to produce steam and ash emissions of varying intensity. Phases of hour-long continuous ash emissions have become more frequent recently and incandescence is often visible from the El Agrio crater at night.
