Roundup of Global Volcano Activity:
Shiveluch (Kamchatka): The volcano has apparently entered a phase of elevated explosive activity. Over the past days, several explosions have occurred from the growing lava dome and produced ash plumes rising to up to about 23,000 ft (7 km) altitude. Small block avalanches and pyroclastic flows accompany the process as well.
Paluweh (off Flores Island, Indonesia): A larger eruption Saturday morning killed at least 6 people on the island in a pyroclastic flow. It seems that the flow was triggered by a partial collapse if the still active lava dome. Other than most previous pyroclastic flows, this one traveled to the northern side and reached the coast where the victims were located.
