Volcanos

Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity:

Suwanose-jima (Ryukyu Islands): A swarm of earthquakes occurred over the the past days in an area a few km south of the island at about 10 km depth.

Tangkubanparahu (West Java): VSI raised the alert level yesterday from "normal" to "alert" (2 on a scale of 1-4, "Waspada). The decision was based on an increase in tremor and the discovery of fine ash deposits on tourist facilities located at the edge of Kawah Ratu. It is recommended to prohibit access to Kawah Ratu, the historically active crater, and a major local tourist attraction.

White Island (New Zealand): Minor ash venting occurred at White Island at approximately 11:30 am and 1:30 pm today. GNS Science volcanologists are monitoring the activity and further information will be released as soon as it is available. The tremor has dropped sharply.

Colima (Western Mexico): Explosions and accompanying rockfall signals are stronger and more frequent today.
