Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity
Stromboli (Eolian Islands, Italy): No strombolian activity has been observed recently, only rare emissions of hot gas and diluted ash occur from time to time at the summit vents. CO2 emissions have decreased recently, but remain well above background, indicating that new magma is rising at depth. Access to the summit area is still closed, no excursions can be offered at the moment.
Kilauea (Hawai'i): HVO reports that "the tip of the June 27th lava flow remained stalled; however, active surface breakouts up slope of the front continued. A narrow flow lobe about 2.5 km (1.6 mi) upslope of Pahoa Marketplace continued to advance toward the north-northeast. This morning, Civil Defense reported that this lobe has advanced about 14 m (15 yds) since yesterday."
Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai (Tonga, Tonga Islands): A pilot reported no visible eruptive activity yesterday, but strong sulphur smell at flight level 160, i.e. 16,000 ft (5 km) altitude.
