Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity

Pavlof (Alaska Peninsula, USA): Based on seismic data, the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) assumes that a new eruption could have started at the volcano yesterday evening; the volcano's alert code was raised from "normal" to "watch" and the Aviation Colour code from green to orange. At about 10:35 AM AKDT seismic activity at Pavlof Volcano increased to levels typically associated with low-level eruptive activity and it is possible that an eruption of Pavlof Volcano may be in progress. Nothing has been observed in satellite data and web camera images, but Pavlof is presently obscured by clouds and no thermal signals or ash emissions are evident through the cloud deck." (AVO)
