Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity:
Veniaminof (Alaska Peninsula, USA): A weak eruptive activity has started from the volcano. Since last night, weak ash emissions have appeared from the central cone of the caldera of the volcano. The new activity is accompanied by a persistent steam plume and increasing volcanic tremor. So far there seem to be no lava flows or other significant eruptive processes.
Sabancaya (Peru): Seismic unrest continues. Earthquake numbers have shown a light increase since May, the latest report of IGP from 5 June shows. In particular, the number of volcanic-tectonic earthquakes (related to rock fracturing) has risen. The location of most quakes,- the area where magma possibly is intruding at depth,- remained the same as during the previous months, about 8 km NE of the volcano, near the village of Hornillo.
