Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity
Bárdarbunga (Iceland): Intense earthquake activity continues, but there is no signs of magma reaching the surface, i.e. a new eruption of the volcano yet. So far, 164 quakes of magnitudes 1.2-2.8 have been detected today and tremor remains elevated. The quakes cluster in an area at the NE part of the volcanic system. This is where a new intrusion is likely occurring at the moment, but it is uncertain if it will result in an eruption.
Stromboli (Eolian Islands, Italy): The eruption continues with no significant change, but lava effusion seems to have increased. Several secondary active branches formed on the upper part of the new lava flow field and are visible on webcam images.
