Kirishimayama Ryukyu Volcanic Arc
|
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.

Kuchinoerabujima Ryukyu Volcanic Arc

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
