Volcanos

Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity

Suwanose-jima (Ryukyu Islands): The volcano has been more active during the past days, with frequent, sometimes intense strombolian activity visible from neighboring islands. Small ash plumes rose to 6,000 ft (1.8 km) altitude.

Soputan (North Sulawesi, Indonesia): The eruption continues with an active viscous lava flow on the upper western flank. Occasional explosions such as this morning produce ash plume that rise to 3-4 km altitude, i.e. 1.5-2 km above the volcano.

Dukono (Halmahera): An ash plume to 12,000 ft (3.6 km) altitude was emitted this morning and observed on satellite data extending 35 km to the south (VAAC Darwin).
