Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity:

Stromboli (Eolian Islands, Italy): A new lava flow has started from the NE crater and is descending the Sciara del Fuoco. The activity is accompanied by continuous spattering from the northern hornito and strong tremor.

Rabaul (Tavurvur) (New Britain, Papua New Guinea): Intermittent mild explosive activity at the Tavurvur vent continues. A small eruption yesterday produced an ash plume rising several 100 m.

Santa María / Santiaguito (Guatemala): The dome has been becoming more active, INSIVUMEH details in its latest report. 40-60 small to moderate explosions have been occurring daily, producing a fine ash plume rising about 500-1000 m above the dome. 4 lava flows are active on the flanks of the dome, and produce near-constant avalanches and sometimes small pyroclastic flows.

Pacaya (Guatemala): Occasional weak gas and ash emissions have been reported by INSIVUMEH who believes that a return to magmatic, likely strombolian activity from the Mackenney crater is a probable scenario for the near future (weeks).

Fuego (Guatemala): Weak to moderate explosions accompanied by rumbling sounds audible in up to 6 km distance produce a fine ash plume drifting about 10 km to the west, and causing light ash fall in the areas of Panimache and Morelia. INSIVUMEH mentions in its latest, unusually predictive daily report, that the sound of the explosions indicates that in the coming days a new lava flow will be visible again.
