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 […]
nn I found this little press release that doesn’t have a huge amount of information, but is interesting nevertheless. The Coordinating Committee for Prediction of Volcanic Eruptions of Japan (nice name) […]
nn UPDATE 2/19/2009 9:45 AM:Well, it seems that my hunch was at least partially right. Reuters (and Paula Narvaez, special envoy to the Chilean president) is calling the eruption as […]
Jonathan Castro has reminded me that I need a refresher on the proper terminology for ash columns related to volcanic eruptions. It is very easy to start mincing words and […]

Nothing much to report on the Redoubt front except more of the same. The latest report from AVO says (6:44 AM):n Redoubt Volcano has not erupted. Volcanic tremor and intermittent […]
Lava issuing from the current eruptions at Kilauea have started a third ocean entry (and the second within the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park). The entry is not as dramatic as […]

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 […]
The NASA Earth Observatory website posted this great image of Redoubt taken from Landsat images in 2000. You can see a few neat things. The main thing I notice is […]
I get a fairly steady stream of emails from Eruptions readers, some of which are very worth a post, but sometimes it takes me a while to get around to posting. […]
We’ve now had three weeks of waiting for Redoubt, and all we have to show for it is steam, seismicity and lots and lots of press. As of today, Redoubt […]
Eruptions reader Ross was very right in pointing out that something is up at Redoubt. The Alaska Volcano Observatory has put Redoubt on orange alert for aviation and suggest that […]
I’m just toying with the new WordPress Poll option, so I thought I’d throw this out at Eruptions readers. Enjoy! Feel free to leave comments justifying your pick. nn
