Degassing activity at Mayon volcano over the past few days (image: @Ms_Gzelle27/twitter)The alert level for the volcano was raised from Level 2 (increasing unrest) to Level 3 (increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption), as the activity has been intensifying. The extrusive activity has been picking up at the summit lava dome area resulting in three pyroclastic flows this morning at 06:18, 09:53 and 11:00 AM local time. Block-and-ash-flows descended over the Bonga (southeast) and Basud (east) chutes reaching length about 1 kilometer distance from the summit. This likely signalise pressurized magma within the main conduit system, which may fracture and squeeze surroundings rocks allowing it to rise further. Thus, fresh magma may accumulate into the lava dome in the inner…

Spattering continues at several sites within the crater (image: USGS) The effusive eruption is still continuing at the time of this update and is being confined within the Halema'uma'u crater. There are no indications of the lava shifting out of the summit region so far. The eruptive area seems to consist of two-to-three lava fountain clusters and several independent ones characterized by the continuous spattering ejecting hot, fresh and plastic lava clots and lava flows. Fountain heights decreased after the eruption onset, at about 03:00 PM local time, surpassing 4-9 meters. Lava flows have engulfed the crater floor and covered the area by about 10 meters depth of lava. A ring of elevated 1-2 meter-high (3-6 feet-high) lava surrounds the…

The new eruption at Kilauea volcano this afternoon (image: USGS/HVO webcam looking towards Halema'uma'u)A new eruption has started in the summit caldera of Kilauea volcano. A few hours ago, at approximately 4:44 a.m. local time on June 7, 2023, fissures opened on the floor of Halema'uma'u crater producing lava fountains and flows that now are covering the crater floor. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory raised Kīlauea’s volcano alert level from WATCH to WARNING and its aviation color code from ORANGE to RED as this eruption and associated hazards are evaluated, the most recent bulletin writes: "The opening phases of eruptions are dynamic.

INSIVUMEH reported that the eruption at Santa María’s Santiaguito lava-dome complex continued during 31 May-6 June. Effusion from the Caliente dome complex fed lava flows that descended the San Isidro and Zanjón Seco drainages on the W and SW flanks; the main lava flow was 4.3 km long and remained active. Avalanches of material from the growing dome and occasional explosions descended all flanks of the dome, and avalanches from the margins of lava flows descended the S and SW flanks.Incandescence from the dome and lava flows was visible during the nights and early mornings. An average of 1-2 explosions per hour were recorded on most days, generating ash-and-steam plumes that rose up to 1 km above the dome and…
