Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity
Suwanose-jima (Ryukyu Islands): The activity of the volcano has become more intense during the past days. Several ash plumes were detected by Tokyo VAAC and blight glow is intermittently visible. Most likely, the volcano has started another phase of intense, intermittent strombolian explosions.
Suretamatai (Banks Islands, Vanuatu): The alert level of the volcano (also known as Vanua Lava) was recently raised a notch from 0 to 1 (on a scale of 0-4). No details about volcanic unrest are available, but presumably, the Vanuatu Geohazards Observatory recorded elevated seismic activity from the volcano. Residents and tourists are reminded to stay outside of areas near the crater and in particular avoid the Sulphur River (E flank) were there is a high risk of volcanic gas emissions.
