Map of today's active volcanoesEtna (Sicily, Italy): The Sezione di Catania - Osservatorio Etneo (INGV) reported that eruptive activity at Etna’s summit craters significantly intensified on 24 December. Activity within NE Crater (Northeast Crater), which had been occurring for several weeks, significantly intensified on 24 December. Though weather clouds partially obscured views of the summit, a webcam view showed incandescent material being ejected above the crater rim at around 1910.A dense steam plume drifted ENE. Eruptive events detected in infrasonic data were frequent, with increasing amplitudes, and originated both from NE Crater and to a lesser extent from Bocca Nuova Crater (BN). Tremor detected in infrasonic data began at around 2250. ... [read more] ... [show less] Strombolian activity at…

A magnitude 3.7 earthquake near Anchor Point, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA, was reported only 3 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at an intermediate depth of 72 miles beneath the epicenter in the morning on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, at 11:36 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.7 earthquake as well.According to preliminary…
