KILAUEA VOLCANO (VNUM #332010)
19°25'16" N 155°17'13" W, Summit Elevation 4091 ft (1247 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

Kīlauea summit and lower East Rift Zone

Seismicity remains low and ground deformation is negligible at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano. Earthquakes, probably aftershocks of the magnitude-6.9 earthquake in early May, continue on South Flank faults.

On the volcano's lower East Rift Zone (LERZ), the crew on this morning's overflight confirmed that weakly active lava continues to fill the deep crater in the fissure 8 cone with no lava extending outside the walls of the cone and no flows heading down the spillway. Other vents were steaming due to morning rains.

Sulfur dioxide emission rates at the summit, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and LERZ are drastically reduced; the combined rate (< 1,000 t/d) is lower than at any time since late 2007. On Friday (08/31), LERZ emission rates were still too low to measure.

HVO crews continue to restore communication with several monitoring stations on the east side of the island that was disrupted by the passage of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lane but the losses do not significantly reduce our ability to assess volcanic conditions. Whiteout conditions could occur on the new lava field due due to steam produced by heavy rainfall on still-hot lava flows.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) continues to closely monitor Kīlauea’s seismicity, deformation, and gas emissions for any sign of reactivation, and maintains visual surveillance of the summit and LERZ as best we can. Ground and drone crews are in the field today but continue to be hampered by weather conditions.

HVO will continue to issue daily updates and additional messages as needed. The next update will be issued tomorrow morning unless significant changes occur.

Kīlauea summit and lower East Rift Zone

Seismicity remains low and ground deformation is negligible at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano. A magnitude-3.1 earthquake that occurred at 5:31AM HST this morning was located below Kīlauea's South Flank and is likely an aftershock of the magnitude-6.9 earthquake from early May.

On the volcano's lower East Rift Zone (LERZ), no incandescence was visible on the fissure 8 spillway overnight. Images from the UAS (drone) crew showed that weak lava activity continues in the fissure 8 cone as of yesterday afternoon, with no lava extending outside the walls of the cone and no flows heading down the spillway.

Sulfur dioxide emission rates at the summit, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and LERZ are drastically reduced; the combined rate (< 1,000 t/d) is lower than at any time since late 2007. SO2 emission rate measurements from LERZ vents were slightly higher than those measured in the past week but still low.

Unrest continues at Veniaminof. Seismic activity remains elevated. The FAA Perryville web camera showed frequent pulsatory low altitude ash plumes throughout the day yesterday and continuing this morning. A pilot report from this morning indicated a volcanic cloud from Veniaminof at an altitude less than10,000 ft asl and a small amount of ash deposited on the ice field. Small thermal features consistent with a hot vent area were observed in satellite data from the past day.

Kīlauea summit and lower East Rift Zone

On Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone (LERZ), small amounts of incandescence were visible within the fissure 8 cone overnight. However there were no changes to the glowing area, which suggests stationary sources. Small lava flows have been observed within the fissure 8 cone, however none extend outside the walls of the cone. There is no change in overall activity from observations over the past several days.

Seismicity and ground deformation remain low at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano. Small aftershocks from the magnitude-6.9 earthquake in early May continue to occur on faults located on Kīlauea's South Flank.

Tiltmeters in Kīlauea's middle East Rift Zone are recording small amounts of inflationary tilt, which may be a sign of refilling of the rift zone. The current rates are much smaller than those measured during the period of major eruptive activity and have been steady over the past week.

Sulfur dioxide emission rates at the summit, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and LERZ are drastically reduced; the combined rate is less than 1,000 tonnes/day, which is lower than at any time since late 2007. SO2 emission rate measurements from LERZ vents measured on September 5th were below 20 tonnes/day, close to the detection threshold of the measurement technique.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) continues to closely monitor Kīlauea’s seismicity, deformation, and gas emissions for any sign of reactivation, and maintains visual surveillance of the summit and LERZ. HVO will continue to issue daily updates and additional messages as needed.

Unrest continues at Veniaminof. Seismic activity remains elevated. Incandescence was observed at the summit of Veniaminof in images from the FAA Perryville web camera beginning at 02:46 AKST and continuing until dawn. Early morning images from the webcam showed minor ash or steam emissions in the immediate vicinity of the summit cone. Strongly elevated surface temperatures were observed at the summit in satellite data from last night and visible light imagery showed an ash deposit on the Veniaminof snowfield in a SSW to SE shaped V from the summit.

On Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone (LERZ), minor amounts of incandescence and fume continue to be visible within the fissure 8 cone. Small lava flows have been observed within the fissure 8 cone, however none have extended outside the walls of the cone. There is no change in overall activity from observations over the past several days.

Seismicity and ground deformation remain low at the summit of Kīlauea. Small aftershocks from the magnitude-6.9 earthquake in early May continue to occur on faults located on Kīlauea's South Flank.

Yesterday, Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater experienced a series of small collapses. These produced episodes of visible brown plume throughout the day (the most prominent at about 10:30AM HST) and generated small tilt offsets and seismic energy recorded by nearby geophysical instruments. The collapses had no discernable effect on other parts of the rift, though we will continue to monitor for longer-term changes.

Tiltmeters in Kīlauea's middle East Rift Zone continue to record small amounts of inflationary tilt, which may be a sign of refilling of the rift zone. The rates have been steady over the past week and did not show a short-term change following yesterday’s collapses at Puʻu ʻŌʻō.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rates at the summit, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and LERZ are drastically reduced; the combined rate is less than 1,000 tonnes/day, which is lower than at any time since late 2007. SO2 emission rates from LERZ vents were below 20 tonnes/day when measured on September 5th, close to the detection threshold of the measurement technique.

Kīlauea summit and lower East Rift Zone

On Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone (LERZ), a small collapse pit formed within the fissure 8 cone over the past day, exposing hot material underneath and producing an increase in incandescence. No surface flow was associated with this event. Small lava flows have been observed within the fissure 8 cone, however none have extended outside the walls of the cone.

Seismicity and ground deformation remain low at the summit of Kīlauea. Aftershocks from the magnitude-6.9 earthquake in early May are still being generated on faults located on Kīlauea's South Flank.

Small collapses continue to occur at Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater, producing visible brown plumes. The rate of inflationary tilt recorded by a nearby tiltmeter has slowly decreased over the past day and another tiltmeter in the East Rift Zone is also showing a slight decrease in inflationary tilt. However, there is no change in seismicity rate at this time. We will continue to watch these data for changes.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rates at the summit, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and LERZ are drastically reduced; the combined rate is less than 1,000 tonnes/day, which is lower than at any time since late 2007. SO2 emission rates from LERZ vents were below 20 tonnes/day when measured on September 5th, close to the detection threshold of the measurement technique.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) continues to closely monitor Kīlauea’s seismicity, deformation, and gas emissions for any sign of reactivation, and maintains visual surveillance of the summit and LERZ. HVO will continue to issue daily updates and additional messages as needed.

Kīlauea summit and lower East Rift Zone

On Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone (LERZ), minor amounts of incandescence were observed overnight from a collapse pit within the fissure 8 cone, though the amount was reduced over observations from the previous night. Very minor fuming is visible from a small spatter cone located towards the back of the cone. Small lava flows have been observed within the fissure 8 cone, however none have extended outside the walls of the cone.

Kīlauea summit and lower East Rift Zone

On Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone (LERZ), the collapse pit within the fissure 8 cone was no longer incandescent last night but a glowing spot just west of the pit that first appeared on Sept. 11th got wider last night and may be a very small, slow lava flow moving along the west edge of the collapse pit. Since the beginning of September, small lava flows have been observed within the fissure 8 cone, however none have extended outside the walls of the cone.

Seismicity and ground deformation remain low at the summit of Kīlauea. Aftershocks from the magnitude-6.9 earthquake in early May are still being generated on faults located on Kīlauea's South Flank. For the last few days, summit tilt seemed to be turning to weak inflation. This morning there is the suggestion that summit tilt may have returned to deflationary motion, however tiltmeters throughout the volcano are affected by rainfall. We will continue monitoring this trend to see if it continues.

Small collapses within Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater have occurred during the past week. Rates of tilting throughout the East Rift Zone are much lower than were observed during the period of major eruptive activity. There has been no change in seismicity during the past week. We will continue to watch these data for changes.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rates at the summit, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and LERZ are drastically reduced; the combined rate is less than 1,000 tonnes/day, which is lower than at any time since late 2007. SO2 emission rates from LERZ vents Tuesday (09/11) were below the detection threshold of the measurement technique.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) continues to closely monitor Kīlauea’s seismicity, deformation, and gas emissions for any sign of reactivation, and maintains visual surveillance of the summit and LERZ. HVO will continue to issue daily updates and additional messages as needed.

Kīlauea summit and lower East Rift Zone

On Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone (LERZ), the collapse pit is the central part of a slowly subsiding lava surface that previously filled the fissure 8 cone. Mininimal incandescence, less than yesterday, is still visible overnight while minor fuming is visible during the day.

Seismicity and ground deformation remain low at the summit of Kīlauea. A magnitude-2.9 long-period earthquake, similar to those that accompanied collapses prior to Aug. 4th, occurred yesterday at about 2 pm below the collapse and was felt in nearby locations; however, there was no indication of actual collapse at the summit. Aftershocks from the magnitude-6.9 earthquake in early May are still being generated on faults located on Kīlauea's South Flank. For the last few days, summit tilt seemed to be turning to weak inflation but weak deflation resumed on Sept. 12.

Small collapses continue to occur within Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater generating dust plumes. Rates of tilting throughout the East Rift Zone are much lower than those observed during the period of major eruptive activity. There has been no change in seismicity during the past week.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rates at the summit, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and LERZ are drastically reduced; the combined rate is less than 1,000 tonnes/day, which is lower than at any time since late 2007. SO2 emission rates from LERZ vents were below the detection threshold of the measurement technique when last measured on Sept. 11.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) continues to closely monitor Kīlauea’s seismicity, deformation, and gas emissions for any sign of reactivation, and maintains visual surveillance of the summit and LERZ. HVO will continue to issue daily updates and additional messages as needed.

Not so quiet at AVO

SEMISOPOCHNOI VOLCANO (VNUM #311060)
51°55'44" N 179°35'52" E, Summit Elevation 2625 ft (800 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

Unrest continues at Semisopochnoi volcano. The onset of continuous seismicity yesterday prompted AVO to raise the Aviation Color Code and Volcano Alert Level to YELLOW/ADVISORY. Retrospective analysis of satellite data from September 10 shows evidence of a small ash deposit on the flanks of the north cone of Mount Cerberus, which may have resulted from two minor seismic tremor bursts recorded on September 8. This satellite imagery, combined with a further increase in seismic tremor amplitudes today, prompted AVO to raise the Aviation Color Code and Volcano Alert Level to ORANGE/WATCH. While the recent ash deposit suggests the potential for ash emissions coincident with elevated seismicity, there have been no ash emissions observed in cloudy satellite images around the time of today's tremor increase. Furthermore, there has been no eruptive activity recorded on regional pressure sensors in Adak, although current atmospheric conditions limit signal propagation between Semisopochnoi and Adak.

Semisopochnoi is monitored with an on-island seismic network, and remotely by satellite and lightning sensors. An infrasound array on Adak Island may detect explosive emissions from Semisopochnoi with a 13 minute delay if atmospheric conditions permit.

Eruption of a lava flow from Veniaminof volcano's summit cone likely continues, as suggested by continued observations of elevated seismic activity, nighttime incandescence in webcam images, and elevated surface temperatures in thermal satellite data. No significant ash emissions have been observed.

Veniaminof Volcano is monitored with a local real-time seismic network, which will typically allow AVO to detect changes in unrest that may lead to an explosive eruption. Rapid detection of an ash-producing eruption would be accomplished using a combination of seismic, infrasound, lightning, and satellite data.

According to that fount of all knowledge - the Sun - Katla is going to blow its top. https://apple.news/AcsxDLvtNSFyPfNheAaDVeQ

Should I be worried? Not that I am as it is the Sun. 

Defo seems like its building up to something and it does sound like its overdue a biggie, I wouldn't be worried, there is not much we can do about it.  When will it go up ... I don't think the experts really know and they have said as such in reports today. I understand this volcano is often more active in the autumn. I did read somewhere that if it goes up you should be able to hear the explosion as far away as Paris. No idea if that's really true or not.  :)

Regarding Katla, there is nothing to indicate that the volcano is about to erupt. It may take still a few more years before an eruption takes place.

When she erupts, people around the volcano will be affected and the biggest danger are lahars because of the fast melting of the Myrdalsjokull glacier. There will be ashfall too in parts of Iceland but that depends on the wind direction. The biggest effect for the UK will be disruption to air traffic but again that's dependent on the wind direction.

Whether the air traffic disruption will be as bad depends on wind direction the type of ash and how big when the eruption comes which could years away. We had the same scare stories when BIg E erupted.

Kīlauea summit and East Rift Zone

On Kīlauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone (ERZ), no significant incandescence was visible overnight in the collapse pit within the fissure 8 cone. Minor fuming has been visible during the day.

Seismicity and ground deformation remain low at the summit of Kīlauea. Tiltmeters around the Kilauea summit have recorded slowing deflationary tilt and slight inflationary tilt over recent days. Rates of tilting throughout both the summit and the ERZ are much lower than those observed during the recent period of major eruptive activity.

There has been no change in seismicity during the past week. Small aftershocks from the magnitude-6.9 earthquake in early May are still being generated along faults located on the south flank of Kīlauea.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rates at the summit, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and lower ERZ are drastically reduced; the combined rate is well less than 1,000 tonnes/day, which is lower than at any time since late 2007. SO2 emission rates from the summit were approximately 30 tonnes/day on September 26, and emission rates from lower ERZ vents were below the detection threshold of the measurement technique when last measured on September 11. Minor amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are being emitted at the summit, at Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and in the lower ERZ.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) continues to closely monitor Kīlauea’s seismicity, deformation, and gas emissions for any sign of reactivation, and maintains visual surveillance of the summit and East Rift Zone. HVO will continue to issue daily updates and additional messages as needed.
