Last evening's lava fountain at Etna's New SE craterFollowing yesterday early morning's paroxysm, the volcano, known for its capricious mood, surprised us again by a dramatic change in activity, both involving opening new fissures feeding lava flows AND producing another lava fountain episode from the New SE crater in the evening of the same day...: First, two small lava flows started to flow from two new effusive vents that opened in the lower part of the southeastern flank of the crater in the early morning, a higher one at 06:25 local time, and a lower one at 07:59 am. These two lava flows remained well alimented and the most advanced fronts reached the western headwall of the Valle del Bove…

Explosion from Suwanosejima volcano today (image: JMA)The activity of the volcano continues at elevated levels during the past few days. An increasing trend in number of explosions continues to occur since 20 June as the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) recorded 9 eruptions, on 21 June 10 eruptions, 15 eruptions yesterday. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Tokyo recorded another explosive event today as a plume of ash rose to an altitude of 8,000 ft (2,400 m) and drifted W. Near-constant glow in the Ontake crater suggests that the flux of magma is rising within the edifice. Explosions generated pyroclastic bombs and blocks ejected unusual 900 meters away from the crater towards NW and SE. The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts…
