Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity:
Etna (Sicily, Italy): Relatively intense strombolian activity and ash emissions continue at the New SE crater. INGV tremor data seems currently not to be available to see whether this is rising or not, and might be the beginning of another paroxysm. A steam and ash plume is rising about 1 km above the volcano.
Popocatépetl (Central Mexico): Activity is on the increase again at the volcano, which currently is producing a strong steam plume illuminated by the glowing lava in the summit crater. This rise in activity was preceded by a moderate explosion late on 24 April (which could not be observed due to cloud cover) and during yesterday, the rate of small to moderate emissions of gas-steam-ash rose to about two per hour.
