Dukono (Halmahera): Explosive activity continues at the volcano. An ash plume was last seen at 8,000 ft (2.4 km) altitude extending 80 km to the SW yesterday.

Reventador (Ecuador): The lava flows on the slopes of the summit cone are no longer active, but intermittent explosions of small to medium size continue to occur.
