Hot rock falls from the lava dome at Bezymianny volcano on 14 April (image: Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team)The activity at the volcano continues at very high levels. A webcam footage depicts multiple glowing lava-block avalanches descending from the dome during the night of 24 April between 11:02 and 11:20 PM local time. Block-and-ash flows traveled down through the south-eastern flank, accompanied by fine ash plumes—known as phoenix clouds—that separated from the main flow. Viscous magma continues to rise into the evolving dome, creating partially unstable, superheated lava material that is prone to collapse, generating hot rockfalls.

A magnitude 3.5 earthquake near San Jose del Cabo, Los Cabos, Estado de Baja California Sur, Mexico, was reported only 24 minutes ago by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter early morning on Thursday, April 24th, 2025, at 6:08 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.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably…

The pyroclastic flow followed vulcanian-type eruption at Reventador on 8 April (image: Benjamin Bernard)The effusive-explosive eruption of the volcano continues and has remained essentially unchanged. Near-constant vulcanian explosions continue to take place from the summit crater that reached 4,6 km (15,000 ft) height and drifted north and northwest over the past few days. Multiple incandescent avalanches continue to be observed, reaching length of at least 900-1,200 meters from the summit vent. On 8 April, an explosion generated a pumice-and-ash flow caused likely by the eruption column collapse. Pyroclastic flows are deadly, turbulent hot avalanche of lava rock fragments of all sizes embedded in a mixture of turbulent gas and ash racing down slopes Lahars (mud flows) could also occur if…

Copious ash emissions from Poas recently (image: @Top_Disaster/x.com)The volcano remains very active over the past week. Near-frequent abundant ash emissions continue to occur from the crater, generating ash columns to estimated 3 km altitude.
