nn So, there has been a lot of talk about “volcano monitoring” over the last 24 hours, now hasn’t there? nn Now, I’m not going to revisit this discussion, but […]

Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai (how’s that for a name?), a shallow seamount in Tonga, appears to have erupted, according to reports from air passengers and pilots in the area.
The eruption of Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcano in Tonga looks to be a big one.
I probably won’t comment too much on these, but if you need a rundown on every volcanic rumbling on the planet in a given week, nothing is better that the […]
After an exciting few hours on Sunday, AVO has decided to lower the alert level at Redoubt in Alaska to Yellow/Advisory.
Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcano has been putting on quite a show for people lucky (or unlucky) enough to be close enough to see it.
Not much to add to the Redoubt Watch this week. The volcano continuing to experience increased seismicity and AVO is watching it closely. Sounds like we’ll be doing the same […]
nn UPDATE 2/15/2009 20:30 PM: Marta Calvache of INGEOMINAS says that seismicity has all but stopped at Galeras after the eruption Saturday night, however the area will be kept on […]

nnRedoubt (above) is definitely taking its time. After catching everyone’s attention last week with seismic activity, melting of its snow cap and increased gas emissions, the volcano is still, well, […]
A week ago, if you asked around, I’m sure most people would have thought Redoubt would have erupted by now considering all the seismicity and melting that was seen at […]
nn Bored with waiting for Redoubt to erupt? Well, Nevado del Huila in Colombia looks like it is also on the eruption watch list. A fly-over of Huila performed by […]

Guess what? Still rumbling, still steaming, but still no eruption. I’ll put money on the idea that Redoubt will erupt tomorrow, when I have jury duty.
Jury duty is done, so here is a little update. Redoubt is puffing away, producing a more prominent steam plume than it has over the last week (but that may […]
Is the volcano just toying with us? After yesterday’s steam plume (woo.), Redoubt was relatively normal today, albeit still at the heightened state of readiness. However, the steam plume has […]
