Mystery volcano in Kamchatka is disrupting flights to Asia and the local residents around Kelud in Indonesia refuse to heed the warnings of an imminent eruption. UPDATE: Erroneous news feeds got me … this is old news (but still illustrates an important point).
Shiveluch continues its noisy summer, we hope to avoid unnecessary noise at Crater Lake National Park and former noise spotted on Mars.
A brief update on the monitoring of Mayon, more great pictures of volcanoes from space and the news that the Toba eruption might have caused a decade of volcanic winters (but didn’t try to kill all the humans).
Two volcanoes headed in opposite directions: the Alert level was raised at Mayon in the Philippines, while 24/7 staffing of the AVO operations center has ceased now that Redoubt seems to have quieted down.
Every once in a while, the Astronomy Picture of the Day throws in a volcano with all the space imagery. July 13’s image was one of the best. Plus, oil production will resume next month in the Cook Inlet, Alaska.
The thermal anomaly at the crater on Shishaldin in Alaska appears to be increasing in intensity and now there appears to be some indications that seismicity is following suit. Is something up?
A look at “folk volcano monitoring” in the Philippines, Kilauea takes out another piece of the doomed Royal Gardens subdivision and another great images of an active volcano from NASA.
Inside you’ll find a Q&A on Martian volcanoes, some new details on the Ethopian eruption, the innards of Halema`uma`u and Nyiragongo from space.
Icy volcanoes on other planets are kind of salty, too. That along with a 3-D image of the Sarychev Peak eruption and another eruption in Alaska.
