#Stromboli update — 13 Nov
A new lava overflow from the North Crater Area is sending a small flow down the upper Sciara del Fuoco. Steady spattering continues from two vents in the north, along with ongoing explosive activity from the Southern Crater Area.

Yesterday #Etna showed effusive activity from the 3200 m fracture and Strombolian explosions at the South-East Crater. Lava flows from 3100 m and 2980 m vents remain active, the latter branching into 3 arms. Photos by Francesco Ciancitto #INGV.

🌋 Episode #30 of the #Kilauea eruption started in the early morning of August the 6th and is characterized by 45-90 m lava fountains as well as lava flows that have covered about 20% of the #Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor
Watch the eruption live here 👇

For our international friends: We published our assessment of the #Kamchatka #earthquake here: www.gfz.de/en/press/new... -- It was one the strongest earthquakes ever recorded with instruments. The ground near Berlin, Germany, moved up 2 and down 4 millimetres, so a 6-mm movement.

Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America.

By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪

Veðurstofan has now published a map of the current fissure eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula.
The active fissure is marked in red, and is about 700 meters long. The little topographic high just northeast of the end is the cone from the August-September 2024 eruption.

A new volcanic #eruption has just begun moments ago on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula (far left side of video). This one so far appears to be well north of the town of Grindavik, along the north end of the dike that has fed all previous eruptions.

We have a web tool that will calculate the nearest volcano to your institution, or the nearest institution to a given volcano: gilles.seropian.io/nearest_volc...

We also looked at volcano distance metrics by journal, and by author position in a publication.

🚨 How far are volcanologists from volcanoes? 🌋🚨 Check out our new paper here: link.springer.com/article/10.1....
What started as a conversation about whether we at @exeter.ac.uk (in Cornwall, UK) are further from volcanoes than our global colleagues turned into an exploration of a fruitful data set!

In case you missed it....

"There was an eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at 17:35 WITA with an observed ash column height of ± 10,000 m above the peak (± 11,584 m above sea level)," said the Volcano Observation Post Officer, Yohanes Kolli Sorywutun in his statement.
