Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity

Kliuchevskoi (Kamchatka): Strombolian activity continues. Occasional larger explosions produce moderate ash plumes such as this morning, when Tokyo VAAC reported a plume to 20,000 ft (6 km) altitude extending N.

Chirinkotan (Northern Kuriles): Weak steam-and-gas emissions were detected in satellite images on 6 and 8 February.

Sakurajima (Kyushu, Japan): The volcano has been comparably active during the past days. Yesterday, 8 vulcanian explosions were reported. Today, an explosion occurred producing a plume rising to 10,000 ft (3.6 km) altitude.

Stromboli (Eolian Islands, Italy): The currently weak, sporadic strombolian activity from the summit vents increased during the past night when explosions became more frequent. A small peak in otherwise low tremor occurred a day earlier.

Reventador (Ecuador): A new lava flow seems to be active on the southwestern flank. Occasional explosions continue from the summit vent where a lava dome is growing. From the thermal webcam images, it seems that the lava flow began yesterday.
