The Iceland eruptions continues producing ash and lava flows, Kilauea’s east rift looks to be tapering off, videos of eruptions at Colima in Mexico and the latest USGS/SI report.
Is Ischia a bigger threat than Vesuvius, EU starts to pay back the ash-stricken airlines, tourists get too close to Santiaguito and the eruption at Gaua continues.
A series of “usual and violent” explosions at Guatemala’s Santiaguito dome has prompted authorities to raise the alert level to the second highest level.
As the Eyjafjallajökull eruption continues, the political firestorm that has follows has me asking the naysayers would you have let your mother fly if the sky was potentially full of hazardous ash?
The fallout of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption will likely be far reaching, from the politics of the EU, to climate research, to the future of air travel.
In an eruption without a single fatality and some of the best response by officials to the eruption, some people are calling for “blame” to be doled out.
Eyjafjallajökull seems to be settling into a pattern of small explosions as European airspace reopens – and see a day’s worth of eruption in less than two minutes!
News on the current situation at Gaua in Vanuatu, continuing rumblings in Costa Rica and Russia and more stories of ash, this time from South America.
European airspace begins to reopen as the eruptions at Eyjafjallajökull settle down for the time being.
There are signs that the style of volcanism at Eyjafjallajökull has changed. Meanwhile, ash from the eruption continues to cause problems and has reached eastern North America.
European airlines took test flights over Europe today to see the effect of the Eyjafjallajökull ash on their jets – but it is still unclear when flights over Europe will return to normal.
Could increased volcanism and deglaciation be linked? It is hard to tell, but fascinating to ponder.
Although the world’s eyes are on Iceland, there is other volcano news, including the high cost of a potential Vesuvius eruption, new dome growth at Colima and all the week’s volcanic activity from the Global Volcanism Program
With no clear end in sight for the Eyjafjallajökull ash, airplanes are still grounded across Europe and in Iceland, you can add severe flooding to the ash hazard as well. UPDATED!
Large swaths of European airspace remains closed due to Eyjafjallajökull eruption – and there is no clear end in sight. UPDATE: Now with chemical composition of the ash!
The eruption we’ve been following for weeks in Iceland has now begun to disrupt life in Europe, as the ash from the new explosive phase has closed airspace over much of northern Europe.
It has now been confirmed that the Eyjafjallajökull-Fimmvörduháls eruption has opened a new fissure underneath the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. This has caused a number of volcanic-triggered floods in the area and prompted more evacuations.
Iceland may have ordered evacuations near Eyjafjallajökull-Fimmvörduháls after increased earthquakes underneath the Eyjafjallajokull ice cap, leading to fears of a potential jökulhlaup (volcanically-triggered volcanic flood).
Journalists can’t stay away from the term “supervolcano” (read at your own peril), the eruption in Iceland marches on and Redoubt settles down. UPDATE: Is the Icelandic eruption winding down?
Activity has died down significantly at the Eyjafjallajökull-Fimmvörduháls eruption in Iceland – is this the end?
Following a series of earthquakes last week on the island of Sicily, Italy’s Mt. Etna is showing signs that new eruptions are on the way.
Recent data collected by the ESA Venus Express suggest that Venus might have had very recent lava flows.
A new earthquake swarm has started near the summit of Redoubt in Alaska – does this mean an eruption will soon follow?
The NASA Earth Observatory has posted some great new shots of volcanoes from space, including four volcanoes erupting at once and the latest from the Icelandic eruption.
The current Eyjafjallajökull-Fimmvörduháls eruption is exactly what you might expect for an eruption in Hawai`i … in Iceland … actually, both!
The largest volcano on Hawai`i’s big island is officially moved to “Normal” status after the inflation of Mauna Loa ends.
Tourists are creeping ever closer to the Eyjafjallajokull-Fimmvörduháls (at their own peril) and rumors of an eruption at Taal in the Philippines prove to be false.
Did the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter snap a picture of a Martian eruption?
