Volcanoes don’t take vacations, and Karkar in New Guinea is keeping me on my toes even in the holiday week – it might have just had an impressive eruption.
The “significant” eruption at Karkar reported last week turns out to be a significant phantom – how did the Darwin VAAC get such a large “false positive” for an eruption?

Mayon appears to be ramping up activity – which could lead to the evacuation of 300,000 people from the neighboring region.
The activity at Mayon is prompting more evacuations, can we predict the behaviour of the lava lake at Kilauea, Batur goes on alert and Roland Emmerich (he is no volcanologist).
Are we going to cause the Campi Flegrei to erupt and destroy Naples? Depends on what you read.
