Several lava flows continue to travel over the southern and eastern slopes (image: Sentinel-2, processed by Martin Kelko)The elevated effusive eruption at the volcano continues. The Sentinel-2 satellite acquisition over the volcano on 17 February confirmed that multiple lava flows continue to emerge from the summit cone. descending mainly over the eastern and southern flanks. The southern branches are currently about 1,79 km long, and the eastern one approx. 2,42 km.
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Nakanoshima, Kagoshima-gun, Kagoshima-ken, Japan, was reported only 11 minutes ago by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Wednesday, February 18th, 2026, at 11:27 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.Our monitoring service identified a second report from France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1 as well.

Just 13 minutes ago, a 4.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Adak, Aleutians West, Alaska, USA. The tremor was recorded around noon on Tuesday, February 17th, 2026, at 1:17 pm local time, at a moderately shallow depth of 26 miles below the surface.The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.6 as well.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Adak (pop. 330)…
An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 occurred only 11 minutes ago 75 miles southwest of Adak, Alaska, United States, the United States Geological Survey reported.The quake hit at a shallow depth of 12 miles beneath the epicenter near Adak, Aleutians West, Alaska, USA, around noon on Tuesday, February 17th, 2026, at 1:12 pm 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.Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Adak (pop. 330) located 75 miles from the epicenter.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth…
