Volcanos

Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity

Zhupanovsky (Kamchatka, Russia): Intermittent phases of continuous mild to moderate ash emissions remain a frequent occurrence. This morning, an ash plume can be seen drifting approx. 40 km SW at an estimated altitude of 13,000 ft (4.2 km). Similar plumes were detected over the weekend as well.

Aso (Kyushu): Weak strombolian activity from two vents continue at the Nakadake crater, accompanied by abundant steam and minor ash emissions.

Reventador (Ecuador): The recent lava flow on the southwestern flank, that had started early on 11 March and had reached a length of approx. 1500 m, seems no longer to be active, or has decreased a lot. Occasional small explosions continue to occur at the summit vent.
