Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report

Weekly Volcanic Activity Map

The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report is a cooperative project between the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program and the US Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program. Updated by 2300 UTC every Wednesday and averaging 16 reported volcanoes, this is not a comprehensive list of all eruptions this week, but rather a summary of activity that meet criteria discussed in the "Criteria and Disclaimers" section below.

Volcanic activity reported here is preliminary and subject to change. Carefully reviewed, detailed narratives over longer time periods are published as reports of the Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network available through volcano profile pages.

 Criteria & Disclaimers

Criteria



The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report does not necessarily include all volcanic activity that occurred on Earth during the week. More than a dozen volcanoes globally have displayed more-or-less continuous eruptive activity for decades or longer, and such routine activity is typically not reported here. Moreover, Earth's sea-floor volcanism is seldom reported even though in theory it represents the single most prolific source of erupted material. The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report summarizes volcanic activity that meets one or more of the following criteria:

- A volcano observatory raises or lowers the alert level at the volcano.
- A volcanic ash advisory has been released by a volcanic ash advisory center (VAAC) stating that an ash cloud has been produced from the volcano.
- A verifiable news report of new activity or a change in activity at the volcano has been issued.
- Observers have reported a significant change in volcanic activity. Such activity can include, but is not restricted to, pyroclastic flows, lahars, lava flows, dome collapse, or increased unrest.

Volcanoes are included in the "New Activity/Unrest" section of the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report if the activity occurs after at least 3 months of quiescence. Once a volcano is included in the "New Activity/Unrest" section, updates will remain in that section unless the activity continues for more than 1 month without escalating, after which time updates will be listed in the "Continuing Activity" section. Volcanoes are also included in the "New Activity/Unrest" section if the volcano is undergoing a period of relatively high unrest, or increasing unrest. This is commonly equal to Alert Level Orange on a scale of Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, where Red is the highest alert. Or alert level 3 on a scale of 1-4 or 1-5.

It is important to note that volcanic activity meeting one or more of these criteria may occur during the week, but may not be included in the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report because we did not receive a report.

Disclaimers



1. The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report is intended to provide timely information about global volcanism on a weekly basis. Consequently, the report is generated rapidly by summarizing volcanic reports from various sources, with little time for fact checking. The accuracy of the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report is dependent upon the quality of the volcanic activity reports we receive. Reports published in the Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network are cover longer time periods and are more carefully reviewed, although all of the volcanoes discussed in the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report are not necessarily reported in the Bulletin. Because of our emphasis on rapid reporting on the web we have avoided diacritical marks. Reports are updated on the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report web page as they are received, therefore information may be included regarding events that occurred before the current report period.

2. Rapidly developing events lead to coverage that is often fragmentary. Volcanoes, their eruptions, and their plumes and associated atmospheric effects are complex phenomena that may require months to years of data analysis in order to create a comprehensive summary and interpretation of events.

3. Preliminary accounts sometimes contain exaggerations and "false alarms," and accordingly, this report may include some events ultimately found to be erroneous or misleading.

4. Many news agencies do not archive the articles they post on the Internet, and therefore the links to some sources may not be active. To obtain information about the cited articles that are no longer available on the Internet contact the source.

Report for Kirishimayama
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported that an eruption occurred at Shinmoedake (Shinmoe peak, a stratovolcano of the Kirishimayama volcano group) on 22 June, the first eruption since 27 June 2018. The number of volcanic earthquakes with epicenters directly beneath Shinmoedake had been fluctuating since late October 2024 but began to increase starting around 13 June. Another increase occurred at around 2100 on 21 June, and volcanic tremor increased on 22 June. An eruption detected during 1637-1755 on 22 June produced an ash plume that rose 500 m above the crater rim and drifted E. Ashfall was confirmed in a wide area to the NE that included Takaharu Town, Kobayashi City, Miyazaki City, Kunitomi Town, Saito City, and Shintomi Town in Miyazaki Prefecture. A large amount of ashfall in Hirohara, Takaharu-cho, Miyazaki Prefecture obscured the white lines on the roadway. Sulfur dioxide emissions averaged 4,000 tons per day on 23 June; no emissions were detected on 15 May during the last measurement. On 23 June the Alert Level was raised to 3 (on a 5-level scale) and the public was warned to exercise caution within 3 km from Shinmoedake Crater.

Report for Kuchinoerabujima
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported that the number of shallow volcanic earthquakes increased beneath an area near Kuchinoerabujima’s Furudake Crater in April and continued to increase. Sulfur dioxide emissions were low, averaging 20-80 tons per day since April, and there were days in April where the emissions were below detectable limits. Deformation data indicated ongoing inflation. Volcanic earthquakes with somewhat large amplitudes were occasionally recorded in May by the seismic network. There were many (135) volcanic earthquakes recorded during 2-11 June. No changes to geothermal areas located in and around both Shindake and Furudake craters were observed during a field survey conducted on 11 June. The Alert Level was raised to 3 (on a scale of 1-5) at 2100 on 11 June; the public was warned that ejected blocks may land within 2 km of both craters, and pyroclastic flows may affect areas between Shindake Crater and the coast.

Report for Lewotobi
The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported that eruptive activity continued at Lewotobi Laki-laki during 18-25 June, after the explosive eruption on 17 June. At 0318 and 0641 on 18 June ash plumes rose 1 km above the summit and drifted N and NE. Visual observations of eruptive events recorded at 1229 and 2212 later that day, and at 0922 and 1008 on 19 June, were obscured by weather conditions; incandescence at the summit was visible in a webcam image at 2223 on 18 June. Dense gray ash plumes rose as high as 2 km above the summit and drifted S and SW at 2213 and 2231 on 20 June and at 0014 and 0024 on 21 June. Webcam images taken near midnight showed incandescent material being ejected above the summit and onto the upper flanks. An eruptive event was recorded at 1440 on 23 June but weather conditions again obscured views. According to news reports the number of evacuees totaled 4,954 on 19 June and 4,007 as of 21 June. The Alert Level remained at 4 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public was warned to stay 7 km away from the center of Laki-laki and 8 km in a semicircle clockwise from the SW to the NE.

Report for Etna
The Sezione di Catania - Osservatorio Etneo (INGV) reported explosive activity and lava flow at Etna during 16-22 June, though poor weather conditions obscured views all week. Explosive activity at SE Crater was first observed in webcam images at 0123 on 19 June and was described as weak and discontinuous. The intensity strengthened over time, though weather conditions often prevented visual observations. At around 0555 lava overflowed the crater and descended the flanks, traveling NE and curving E. Intense Strombolian activity was visible during 1200-1300 and an eruption plume rose 6-7 km a.s.l. and drifted N. Ashfall was reported in Randazzo (15 km NNE) and in the municipality of Gioiosa Marea (46 km N). The lava flow advanced to 1,930 m elevation and was 3.9 km long. Intermittent incandescent flashes at NE Crater were visible in webcam images on 21 June.

Report for Great Sitkin
The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) reported that slow lava effusion continued to feed a thick flow in Great Sitkin’s summit crater during 18-24 June. Webcam and satellite views showed slight inflation of the dome near the vent area and rockfall deposits on the S and SE sides of the upper part of the dome. Small daily earthquakes were detected by the seismic network, including signals probably caused by small rockfalls from the growing summit lava dome. Minor steaming from the snow-free dome was visible in clear webcam views during 18-19 June. The Volcano Alert Level remained at Watch (the third level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the third color on a four-color scale).

Report for Kilauea
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) reported that the eruption within Kilauea’s Kaluapele summit caldera, characterized by episodic fountaining and intermittent spatter at two vents along the SW margin of Halema’uma’u Crater, continued at variable levels during 18-24 June. Nighttime incandescence at both the N and S vents and intermittent lava spattering at the N vent were visible during 18-19 June. Small, sporadic periods of spattering and intermittent overflows of lava began at the N vent at 2326 on 19 June. The activity intensified until 0140 on 20 June when lava fountains became sustained. By 0155 the fountain was 250 m tall, and lava was advancing on the crater floor; by 0210 the fountain was over 300 m tall. Lava fountaining at the S vent began at around 0200. The activity at the N vent continued to intensify and by 0326 the fountain at the N vent rose well over 305 m. The eruptive plume rose at least 6 km (20,000 ft) above ground level. Sulfur dioxide emissions were not directly measured, though typical values observed for past episodes of lava fountaining averaged 50,000-75,000 tonnes per day. Gas and tephra drifted S based on wind data from the National Weather Service. Lava flows from both vents covered parts of the crater floor. After about eight hours of continuous fountaining, the N vent stopped erupting at 1007, and the S vent stopped at 1025. Strong incandescence from both vents was visible overnight during 22-24 June. Data analysis revealed that the fountain from the N vent rose 380 m, a new height record for the current eruption. The Volcano Alert Level remained at Watch (the third level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the third color on a four-color scale).

Report for Merapi
The Balai Penyelidikan dan Pengembangan Teknologi Kebencanaan Geologi (BPPTKG) reported that the eruption at Merapi (on Java) continued during 13-19 June. Seismicity was less intense than the previous week. The SW lava dome produced 26 lava avalanches that traveled as far as 1.9 km SW down the Bebeng drainage, 20 that traveled as far as 2 km SW down the Krasak drainage, and 56 that traveled as far as 1.9 km W down the Sat/Putih drainage. Small morphological changes to the SW lava dome resulted from continuing effusion and minor collapses. The volume of the SW dome increased by 84,500 cubic meters to an estimated 4,133,800 cubic meters, based on webcam images and a 13 June drone survey. The size of the central dome had not changed. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-4), and the public was warned to stay 3-7 km away from the summit, based on location.

Report for Nevado del Ruiz
The Servicio Geológico Colombiano’s (SGC) Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Manizales reported that eruptive activity at Nevado del Ruiz continued during 17-23 June, though weather conditions often obscured visual observations. Seismic data indicated that events associated with fluid movement decreased in both number and intensity compared to the previous week. Seismicity associated with rock fracturing decreased in number but increased in intensity compared to the previous week. The earthquakes were mainly located below Arenas Crater and the NE, E, and SE flanks within 5 km at depths of 1-8 km. Low-energy thermal anomalies on the crater floor were identified in satellite data. Daily sulfur dioxide emissions had decreased compared to the previous week. Gas-and-steam plumes rose as high as 900 m above the summit and drifted NW and WNW; ash was not detected in the plumes. The Alert Level remained at Yellow (the second level on a four-level scale).

Report for Poas
The Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica-Universidad Nacional (OVSICORI-UNA) reported continuing gas-and-steam emissions with occasional minor amounts of ash at Poás during 18-24 June. Significant amounts of gas-and-steam emissions continued to be emitted, particularly from Boca A. On 18 June sulfur dioxide emissions averaged 273 tons per day (t/d), though they were as high as 1,500 t/d towards the second half of the week; overall, though levels remained high, there has beenwas a decreasing trend in sulfur dioxide emissions during over the previous few weeks, though levels remained high. Gas component ratios indicated less of a magmatic input. Incandescence continued to be visible and detected in infrared webcam views at Boca A vent. The hyperacid lake over Boca C continued to rise, notably on 15 June during a period of heavy rain. Minor amounts of ash in the gas-and-steam plume were visible in webcam images during 1725-1900 on 22 June. The plumes rose 500 m above the crater rim and drifted W. The Comisión Nacional de Emergencias (CNE) lowered the Alert Level to Yellow for Parque Nacional Volcán Poás and district of Toro Amarillo in the Canton of Sarchí (including the Desagüe, Agrio, Anonos, and Gorrión river basins) on 18 June due to decreasing activity. Additionally, the districts of Grecia, Zarcero, Naranjo, Poás, Sabanilla, Sarapiquí, and Rio Cuarto were no longer under “alert.” The Parque Nacional Volcán Poás remained closed. The Alert Level remained at 2 (the second lowest level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code remained at Yellow (the second lowest color on a four-color scale).

Report for Raung
The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported that Raung continued to erupt during 18-25 June. Seismicity during 16-18 June fluctuated but increased overall. A thermal anomaly on the crater floor was identified in a satellite image on 18 June. Ash plumes rose 500-1,100 m above the crater rim and drifted in multiple directions. Ash plumes during 19-20 June rose as high has 2 km above the crater rim and drifted SE, S, SW, and W. Incandescent emanated from the summit crater during 0302-0500 on 20 June; seismicity decreased that same day. Ash plumes rose 1-2 km above the crater rim and drifted S, SW, and W. PVMBG noted that eruptive activity during 5-20 June produced ash plumes that mostly deposited ash around the crater area. An ash plume on each day during 21-23 June rose 300-600 m above the crater rim and drifted N, NW, W, and SW. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public was warned to stay 3 km away from the summit crater.

Report for Semeru
The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported that activity continued at Semeru during 18-24 June, often with multiple daily eruptive events recorded by the seismic network. White-and-gray ash plumes rose 400-1,200 m above the summit and drifted SW, N, and W; no plumes were visible on 22 and 24 June due to weather conditions. The Alert Level remained at 2 (the second lowest level on a scale of 1-4). The public was warned to stay at least 3 km away from the summit in all directions, 8 km from the summit to the SE, 500 m from the banks of the Kobokan drainage as far as 13 km from the summit, and to avoid other drainages including the Bang, Kembar, and Sat, due to lahar, avalanche, and pyroclastic flow hazards.

Report for Sheveluch
The Kamchatkan Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) reported that lava extrusion may have continued at Sheveluch’s “300 years of RAS” dome on the SW flank of Old Sheveluch and at the Young Sheveluch dome during 13-19 June. Thermal anomalies over the domes were identified in satellite images on 13, 15, and 18 June. The Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FEB RAS) reported that minor steam, gas, and ash plumes rose as high as 4.3 km (14,100 ft) a.s.l. and drifted mainly E and SE during 13-14 and 18 June. The Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the second highest level on a four-color scale). Dates are based on UTC; specific events are in local time where noted.

Report for Suwanosejima
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported that eruptive activity at Suwanosejima's Ontake Crater continued during 16-23 June. Incandescence was observed nightly in webcam images. Eruptive events at 0730 and at 0823 on 19 June and at 0331 on 21 June produced ash plumes that rose 1.3-1.6 km above the crater rim and drifted E, straight up, and NW, respectively. Another explosion at 1041 on 23 June generated an ash plume that rose 2.3 km above the crater rim and drifted NE. The Alert Level remained at 2 (the second level on a five-level scale) and the public was warned to be cautious within 1.5 km of the crater.
