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, these reports
are preliminary and subject to change as events are studied in more detail.
This is not a comprehensive list of all of Earth's volcanoes erupting
during the week, but rather a summary of activity at volcanoes that meet
criteria discussed in detail in the "Criteria and Disclaimers" section.
Carefully reviewed, detailed reports about recent activity are published in
issues of the Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network.



Note that 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

New Activity/Unrest





Ahyi  | Mariana Islands (USA)  | 20.42°N, 145.03°E  | Summit elev. -75 m



Unrest at Ahyi Seamount continued during 30 May-7 June. A possible
hydroacoustic signal was detected by pressure sensors on Wake Island (2,270
km E) during 2-3 June. No activity was visible in cloudy satellite images.
The Aviation Color Code remained at Yellow (the second lowest level on a
four-color scale) and the Volcano Alert Level remained at Advisory (the
second lowest level on a four-level scale).



Geologic Summary. Ahyi seamount is a large conical submarine volcano that
rises to within 75 m of the sea surface about 18 km SE of the island of
Farallon de Pajaros (Uracas) in the northern Marianas. Water discoloration
has been observed there, and in 1979 the crew of a fishing boat felt shocks
over the summit area of the seamount, followed by upwelling of
sulfur-bearing water. On 24-25 April 2001 an explosive eruption was
detected seismically by a station on Rangiroa Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago.
The event was well constrained (+/- 15 km) at a location near the southern
base of Ahyi. An eruption in April-May 2014 was detected by NOAA divers,
hydroacoustic sensors, and seismic stations.

Karangetang  | Sangihe Islands  | 2.781°N, 125.407°E  | Summit elev. 1797 m



Webcam images of Karangetang published in PVMBG daily reports periodically
showed incandescence at Main Crater (S crater) and from material on the
flanks of Main Crater during 31 May-6 June. Daily white gas-and-steam
plumes were visible rising as high as 150 m above the summit and drifting
in various directions. According to the Darwin VAAC ash plumes rose as high
as 2.1 km (7,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted SE and E during 2-4 June. The Alert
Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public were advised to stay
2.5 km away from Main Crater with an extension to 3.5 km on the S and SE
flanks. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public
was warned to stay 2.5 km away from the craters on the S and SW flanks and
1.5 km away on the other flanks.



Geologic Summary. Karangetang (Api Siau) volcano lies at the northern end
of the island of Siau, about 125 km NNE of the NE-most point of Sulawesi.
The stratovolcano contains five summit craters along a N-S line. It is one
of Indonesia's most active volcanoes, with more than 40 eruptions recorded
since 1675 and many additional small eruptions that were not documented
(Neumann van Padang, 1951). Twentieth-century eruptions have included
frequent explosive activity sometimes accompanied by pyroclastic flows and
lahars. Lava dome growth has occurred in the summit craters; collapse of
lava flow fronts have produced pyroclastic flows.

Kilauea  | Hawaiian Islands (USA)  | 19.421°N, 155.287°W  | Summit elev.
1222 m



HVO reported that earthquake activity and changes in the patterns of ground
deformation beneath Kilaueaâ??s summit began to be detected during the
evening of 6 June. The data indicated magma movement towards the surface,
prompting HVO to raise the Volcano Alert Level to Watch (the second highest
level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code to Orange (the
second highest level on a four-color scale).



At about 0444 on 7 June incandescence in Halemaâ??umaâ??u Crater was visible in
webcam images indicting that a new eruption had begun. The Volcano Alert
Level was raised to Warning and the Aviation Color Code was raised to Red.
Lava flowed from fissures that had opened on the crater floor.



Geologic Summary. Kilauea overlaps the E flank of the massive Mauna Loa
shield volcano in the island of Hawaii. Eruptions are prominent in
Polynesian legends; written documentation since 1820 records frequent
summit and flank lava flow eruptions interspersed with periods of long-term
lava lake activity at Halemaumau crater in the summit caldera until 1924.
The 3 x 5 km caldera was formed in several stages about 1,500 years ago and
during the 18th century; eruptions have also originated from the lengthy
East and Southwest rift zones, which extend to the ocean in both
directions. About 90% of the surface of the basaltic shield volcano is
formed of lava flows less than about 1,100 years old; 70% of the surface is
younger than 600 years. The long-term eruption from the East rift zone
between 1983 and 2018 produced lava flows covering more than 100 km2,
destroyed hundreds of houses, and added new coastline.

Mayon  | Luzon (Philippines)  | 13.257°N, 123.685°E  | Summit elev. 2462 m



Daily visual and webcam observations of Mayonâ??s summit crater revealed more
frequent rockfalls at the summit lava dome starting in the last week of
April, indicating aseismic dome growth. The lava dome increased in volume
by about 83,000 cubic meters during 3 February-9 May, with a total addition
of nearly 164,000 cubic meters since 20 August 2022. Sulfur dioxide
emission averages were as high as 576 tons per day on 29 April and 162 tons
per day on 23 May. A total of 26 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded
since 1 April. Electronic Distance Measuring (EDM), precise leveling,
continuous GPS, and electronic tilt monitoring data showed that the volcano
had been slightly inflated, especially on the NW and SE flanks, since 2020.
Short-term inflation on the upper flanks had been detected since February.



>From 0500 on 4 June to 0500 on 5 June the number of rockfalls increased
from an average of 5 events per day to 49 events per day. At 1000 on 5 June
the Alert Level was raised to 2 (on a 0-5 scale). PHIVOLCS noted that
although low-level volcanic earthquakes, ground deformation, and volcanic
gas emissions indicated unrest, the steep increase in rockfall frequency
may indicate increased dome activity. Residents were reminded to stay away
from the 6-km-radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ).



Geologic Summary. Symmetrical Mayon, which rises above the Albay Gulf NW of
Legazpi City, is the most active volcano of the Philippines. The steep
upper slopes are capped by a small summit crater. Recorded eruptions since
1616 CE range from Strombolian to basaltic Plinian, with cyclical activity
beginning with basaltic eruptions, followed by longer term andesitic lava
flows. Eruptions occur predominately from the central conduit and have also
produced lava flows that travel far down the flanks. Pyroclastic flows and
mudflows have commonly swept down many of the approximately 40 ravines that
radiate from the summit and have often damaged populated lowland areas. A
violent eruption in 1814 killed more than 1,200 people and devastated
several towns.

Nyamulagira  | DR Congo  | 1.408°S, 29.2°E  | Summit elev. 3058 m



On 1 June the Observatoire Volcanologique de Goma (OVG) reported that
seismicity at Nyamulagira remained at lower levels, similar to those
recorded before the 17 May increase in activity. Incandescence above the
crater had been absent for the past three days, but satellite imagery
showed continuing lava effusion within the summit crater. The recent flows
on the flanks covered an estimated 0.6 square kilometers.



Geologic Summary. Africa's most active volcano, Nyamulagira (also known as
Nyamuragira), is a massive high-potassium basaltic shield about 25 km N of
Lake Kivu and 13 km NNW of the steep-sided Nyiragongo volcano. The summit
is truncated by a small 2 x 2.3 km caldera that has walls up to about 100 m
high. Documented eruptions have occurred within the summit caldera, as well
as from the numerous flank fissures and cinder cones. A lava lake in the
summit crater, active since at least 1921, drained in 1938, at the time of
a major flank eruption. Recent lava flows extend down the flanks more than
30 km from the summit as far as Lake Kivu; extensive lava flows from this
volcano have covered 1,500 km2 of the western branch of the East African
Rift.

Popocatepetl  | Mexico  | 19.023°N, 98.622°W  | Summit elev. 5393 m



CENAPRED reported that during 30 May-6 June activity at Popocatépetl
consisted of seismic tremor, a few explosions, emissions of steam and gas,
with occasional ash, and ejections of incandescent material. There were
67-315 daily steam-and-gas emissions, sometimes containing minor amounts of
ash, with the highest number recorded during 30-31 May. Overall activity
decreased during the week. Explosions at 1423 and 1708 on 30 May produced
gray ash plumes. During 30-31 May incandescent material was ejected from
the vent short distances onto the flank. High-frequency tremor was recorded
by the seismic network for around eight and a half hours, and was
associated with nearly continuous emissions of steam, gas, and ash. Ashfall
was reported in Ayapeango (22 km NW) and Acatzingo (100 km W), in the State
of Mexico. A M1.6 volcano tectonic (VT) earthquake was recorded at 0952 on
31 May. The Washington VAAC stated that although ash emissions continued to
be visible in satellite and webcam images drifting SSE, the intensity of
the emissions had decreased.



CENAPRED stated on 1 June that tremor signals had significantly decreased
during the previous few days, and on 2 June that overall activity had also
decreased. Periods of high-frequency, low-amplitude tremor continued to be
detected during the rest of the week. A period of tremor recorded during
1635-1850 on 3 June was associated with diffuse ash emissions that drifted
SE. According to the Washington VAAC ash plumes during 1-3 June rose
5.5-6.7 km (18,000-22,000 ft) a.s.l., or as high as 1.3 km above the
summit, and drifted SW, SSW, and SE. A minor explosion occurred at 0739 on
4 June. A minor explosion occurred at 1211 on 5 June and a M1.2 VT
earthquake was recorded at 1818. On 6 June the Alert Level was lowered to
Yellow, Phase Two (the middle level on a three-color scale).



Geologic Summary. Volcán Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for
smoking mountain, rises 70 km SE of Mexico City to form North America's
2nd-highest volcano. The glacier-clad stratovolcano contains a
steep-walled, 400 x 600 m wide crater. The generally symmetrical volcano is
modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the NW, a remnant of an earlier
volcano. At least three previous major cones were destroyed by
gravitational failure during the Pleistocene, producing massive
debris-avalanche deposits covering broad areas to the south. The modern
volcano was constructed south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile
cone. Three major Plinian eruptions, the most recent of which took place
about 800 CE, have occurred since the mid-Holocene, accompanied by
pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins below the
volcano. Frequent historical eruptions, first recorded in Aztec codices,
have occurred since Pre-Columbian time.

Rincon de la Vieja  | Costa Rica  | 10.83°N, 85.324°W  | Summit elev. 1916 m



OVSICORI-UNA reported that increased eruptive activity continued at Rincón
de la Vieja during 30 May-6 June. Seismic instruments continued to record
low-magnitude volcano-tectonic earthquakes located S of the Pailas sector
of Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja. Reports describing phreatic eruption
events were issued almost daily. A phreatic event at 2215 on 30 May ejected
incandescent material within the vicinity of the crater. A small phreatic
eruption at 1753 on 31 May generated a small pyroclastic flow that traveled
a short distance from the crater. Moderate phreatic eruptions were recorded
during 1-2 June; the most energetic event occurred at 0902 and generated a
plume of steam, gas, and ash that rose to 1.5 km above the crater and
drifted N. OVSICORI-UNA raised the Alert Level from 2 to 3 (the third
highest on a four-level scale) at 1650 on 2 June due to significant
seismicity and significant emissions recorded during May.



Eruptive events were recorded during 3-4 June. The most energetic event
occurred at 0624 on 3 June and generated a steam-and-gas plume that rose
1.5 km and drifted W. An eruptive event at 0526 on 4 June first generated
emissions that rose to 500 m, followed at 0529 by a second plume of
steam-and-gas rose to 3.5 km above the crater and drifted N. Steam-and-gas
plumes with low ash content were generated from eruptive events during the
nights of 4-5 June; the plumes rose 1-1.5 km above the crater and drifted
W. At 0259 on 6 June a small phreatic eruption generated a plume that rose
to 3 km and drifted NW.



During a press conference held by OVISOCORI-UNA, RSN, and CNE on 5 June,
the public was reminded that although the recent volcanic activity is
normal for Rincon de la Vieja, it is still necessary to remain cautious and
that community emergency committees will remain activated. CNE maintained a
Green Alert (first alert level on a four-color scale) for the districts of
Dos Ríos (13 km N) and Aguas Claras (3 km NW) in the canton of Upala (22 km
ENE), as well as the districts of Cañas Dulces (24 km ESE), Curubandé (18
km SW), and Mayorga (15 km W) in the canton of Liberia (21 km SW). The CNE
reminded the public to stay away from the Azul, Pénjamo, and Azufrada
rivers.



Geologic Summary. Rincón de la Vieja, the largest volcano in NW Costa Rica,
is a remote volcanic complex in the Guanacaste Range. The volcano consists
of an elongated, arcuate NW-SE-trending ridge constructed within the
15-km-wide early Pleistocene Guachipelín caldera, whose rim is exposed on
the south side. Sometimes known as the "Colossus of Guanacaste," it has an
estimated volume of 130 km3 and contains at least nine major eruptive
centers. Activity has migrated to the SE, where the youngest-looking
craters are located. The twin cone of Santa María volcano, the highest peak
of the complex, is located at the eastern end of a smaller, 5-km-wide
caldera and has a 500-m-wide crater. A Plinian eruption producing the 0.25
km3 Río Blanca tephra about 3,500 years ago was the last major magmatic
eruption. All subsequent eruptions, including numerous historical eruptions
possibly dating back to the 16th century, have been from the prominent
active crater containing a 500-m-wide acid lake located ENE of Von Seebach
crater.

Ongoing Activity





Aira  | Kyushu (Japan)  | 31.593°N, 130.657°E  | Summit elev. 1117 m



JMA reported ongoing activity at both Minamidake Crater and Showa Crater
(Aira Calderaâ??s Sakurajima volcano) during 29 May-5 June. On 29 May sulfur
dioxide emissions were high at 2,900 tons per day. Crater incandescence was
observed nightly at both craters during 29 May-2 June, and very small
eruptive events periodically occurred. Eruptive events at Minamidake at
0237 and 0454 on 4 June produced ash plumes that rose about 1.1 km above
the crater rim. An explosion at 0012 on 5 June generated an ash plume that
rose 1 km and drifted SE, and ejected blocks 500-700 m from the crater. At
Showa, eruptive events at 0211, 0352, 0440, and 1436 on 5 June generated
ash plumes that rose 1.3-1.5 km above the crater rim and drifted SE and E,
or rose straight up; blocks were ejected as far as 300 m from the crater.
The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a 5-level scale), and residents were
warned to stay 2 km away from both craters.



Geologic Summary. The Aira caldera in the northern half of Kagoshima Bay
contains the post-caldera Sakurajima volcano, one of Japan's most active.
Eruption of the voluminous Ito pyroclastic flow accompanied formation of
the 17 x 23 km caldera about 22,000 years ago. The smaller Wakamiko caldera
was formed during the early Holocene in the NE corner of the Aira caldera,
along with several post-caldera cones. The construction of Sakurajima began
about 13,000 years ago on the southern rim of Aira caldera and built an
island that was finally joined to the Osumi Peninsula during the major
explosive and effusive eruption of 1914. Activity at the Kitadake summit
cone ended about 4850 years ago, after which eruptions took place at
Minamidake. Frequent historical eruptions, recorded since the 8th century,
have deposited ash on Kagoshima, one of Kyushu's largest cities, located
across Kagoshima Bay only 8 km from the summit. The largest historical
eruption took place during 1471-76.

Bezymianny  | Central Kamchatka (Russia)  | 55.972°N, 160.595°E  | Summit
elev. 2882 m



KVERT reported that eruptive activity at Bezymianny was generally
characterized by lava effusion, gas-and-steam emissions, and lava dome
incandescence during 25 May-1 June. A daily thermal anomaly was identified
in satellite images. The Aviation Color Code remained at Yellow (the second
lowest level on a four-color scale). Dates are based on UTC times; specific
events are in local time where noted.



Geologic Summary. The modern Bezymianny, much smaller than its massive
neighbors Kamen and Kliuchevskoi on the Kamchatka Peninsula, was formed
about 4,700 years ago over a late-Pleistocene lava-dome complex and an
ancestral edifice built about 11,000-7,000 years ago. Three periods of
intensified activity have occurred during the past 3,000 years. The latest
period, which was preceded by a 1,000-year quiescence, began with the
dramatic 1955-56 eruption. This eruption, similar to that of St. Helens in
1980, produced a large open crater that was formed by collapse of the
summit and an associated lateral blast. Subsequent episodic but ongoing
lava-dome growth, accompanied by intermittent explosive activity and

Bulusan  | Luzon (Philippines)  | 12.769°N, 124.056°E  | Summit elev. 1535 m



In a special advisory, PHIVOLCS reported that from 0500 on 31 May to 1500
on 1 June the seismic network at Bulusan recorded a total of 19 volcanic
earthquakes. Out of those, five were located at depths of 2.7-6.6 km
beneath the E part of the volcano and had local magnitudes of 1.8-2.7.
Minor white steam emissions from the summit crater and active vents on the
SE flank were occasionally visible. Ground deformation data from electronic
tiltmeter stations continued to record short-term inflation of the SE
flanks, first detected in December 2022. The Alert Level remained at 0 (the
lowest level on a scale of 0-5) and PHIVOLCS reminded the public not to
enter the 4-km-radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ).



Geologic Summary. Luzon's southernmost volcano, Bulusan, was constructed
along the rim of the 11-km-diameter dacitic-to-rhyolitic Irosin caldera,
which was formed about 36,000 years ago. It lies at the SE end of the Bicol
volcanic arc occupying the peninsula of the same name that forms the
elongated SE tip of Luzon. A broad, flat moat is located below the
topographically prominent SW rim of Irosin caldera; the NE rim is buried by
the andesitic complex. Bulusan is flanked by several other large
intracaldera lava domes and cones, including the prominent Mount Jormajan
lava dome on the SW flank and Sharp Peak to the NE. The summit is
unvegetated and contains a 300-m-wide, 50-m-deep crater. Three small
craters are located on the SE flank. Many moderate explosive eruptions have
been recorded since the mid-19th century.

Cotopaxi  | Ecuador  | 0.677°S, 78.436°W  | Summit elev. 5911 m



IG reported that moderate eruptive activity continued at Cotopaxi during 30
May-6 June. Seismic activity was mainly characterized by long-period
earthquakes and tremors associated with daily emissions. Although weather
clouds often obscured views, emissions were visible almost daily. During
30-31 May ash-and-gas emissions rose as high as 500 m above the summit and
drifted W and NW. A tremor signal associated with an ash emission was
detected on 1 June, though weather clouds prevented visual confirmation;
ashfall was reported in San Ramón (108 km N) and San Agustín de Callo (16
km WSW). Multiple ash emissions were reported on 3 June; ash plumes rose as
high as around 1 km above the summit and drifted SW, W, and NW. During 4-5
June several gas-and-ash emissions rose 400-800 m and drifted W and SW.
Servicio Nacional de Gestión de Riesgos y Emergencias (SNGRE) maintained
the Alert Level at Yellow (the second lowest level on a four-color scale).



Geologic Summary. The symmetrical, glacier-covered, Cotopaxi stratovolcano
is Ecuador's most well-known volcano and one of its most active. The
steep-sided cone is capped by nested summit craters, the largest of which
is about 550 x 800 m in diameter. Deep valleys scoured by lahars radiate
from the summit of the andesitic volcano, and large andesitic lava flows
extend to its base. The modern edifice has been constructed since a major
collapse sometime prior to about 5,000 years ago. Pyroclastic flows (often
confused in historical accounts with lava flows) have accompanied many
explosive eruptions, and lahars have frequently devastated adjacent
valleys. Strong eruptions took place in 1744, 1768, and 1877. Pyroclastic
flows descended all sides of the volcano in 1877, and lahars traveled more
than 100 km into the Pacific Ocean and western Amazon basin. Smaller
eruptions have been frequent since that time.

Ebeko  | Paramushir Island (Russia)  | 50.686°N, 156.014°E  | Summit elev.
1103 m



KVERT reported that moderate activity at Ebeko was ongoing during 25 May-1
June. According to volcanologists in Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island,
about 7 km E) explosions during 25 and 27-28 May generated ash plumes that
rose as high as 3.5 km (11,500 ft) a.s.l. and drifted NE. A thermal anomaly
was identified in satellite images on 26 May and 1 June. The Aviation Color
Code remained at Orange (the second highest level on a four-color scale).
Dates are based on UTC times; specific events are in local time where noted.



Geologic Summary. The flat-topped summit of the central cone of Ebeko
volcano, one of the most active in the Kuril Islands, occupies the northern
end of Paramushir Island. Three summit craters located along a SSW-NNE line
form Ebeko volcano proper, at the northern end of a complex of five
volcanic cones. Blocky lava flows extend west from Ebeko and SE from the
neighboring Nezametnyi cone. The eastern part of the southern crater
contains strong solfataras and a large boiling spring. The central crater
is filled by a lake about 20 m deep whose shores are lined with steaming
solfataras; the northern crater lies across a narrow, low barrier from the
central crater and contains a small, cold crescentic lake. Historical
activity, recorded since the late-18th century, has been restricted to
small-to-moderate explosive eruptions from the summit craters. Intense
fumarolic activity occurs in the summit craters, on the outer flanks of the
cone, and in lateral explosion craters.

Fuego  | South-Central Guatemala  | 14.473°N, 90.88°W  | Summit elev. 3763 m



INSIVUMEH reported that daily gas emissions rose from Fuego during 31 May-4
June. During 2-3 June minor explosions occurring at a rate of two per hour
produced diffuse ash plumes that rose 450 m above the summit and drifted 10
km W and SE. Minor ashfall was reported in El Zapote (10 km SSE), La
Rochela (8 km SSW), and San Andrés Osuna (12 km SSW).



Geologic Summary. Volcán Fuego, one of Central America's most active
volcanoes, is also one of three large stratovolcanoes overlooking
Guatemala's former capital, Antigua. The scarp of an older edifice, Meseta,
lies between Fuego and Acatenango to the north. Construction of Meseta
dates back to about 230,000 years and continued until the late Pleistocene
or early Holocene. Collapse of Meseta may have produced the massive
Escuintla debris-avalanche deposit, which extends about 50 km onto the
Pacific coastal plain. Growth of the modern Fuego volcano followed,
continuing the southward migration of volcanism that began at the mostly
andesitic Acatenango. Eruptions at Fuego have become more mafic with time,
and most historical activity has produced basaltic rocks. Frequent vigorous
historical eruptions have been recorded since the onset of the Spanish era
in 1524, and have produced major ashfalls, along with occasional
pyroclastic flows and lava flows.

Great Sitkin  | Andreanof Islands (USA)  | 52.076°N, 176.13°W  | Summit
elev. 1740 m



AVO reported that slow lava effusion continued at Great Sitkin during 30
May-6 June producing a thick lava flow confined to the summit crater.
Seismicity remained low; a few local earthquakes were recorded daily.
Slightly elevated surface temperatures were identified in satellite images
during 30-31 May and 3-4 June. Satellite data during 5-6 June confirmed
that the flow was expanding E. The Volcano Alert Level remained at Watch
(the second highest level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color
Code remained at Orange (the second highest level on a four-color scale).



Geologic Summary. The Great Sitkin volcano forms much of the northern side
of Great Sitkin Island. A younger parasitic volcano capped by a small, 0.8
x 1.2 km ice-filled summit caldera was constructed within a large
late-Pleistocene or early Holocene scarp formed by massive edifice failure
that truncated an ancestral volcano and produced a submarine debris
avalanche. Deposits from this and an older debris avalanche from a source
to the south cover a broad area of the ocean floor north of the volcano.
The summit lies along the eastern rim of the younger collapse scarp.
Deposits from an earlier caldera-forming eruption of unknown age cover the
flanks of the island to a depth up to 6 m. The small younger caldera was
partially filled by lava domes emplaced in 1945 and 1974, and five small
older flank lava domes, two of which lie on the coastline, were constructed
along northwest- and NNW-trending lines. Hot springs, mud pots, and
fumaroles occur near the head of Big Fox Creek, south of the volcano.
Historical eruptions have been recorded since the late-19th century.

Ibu  | Halmahera  | 1.488°N, 127.63°E  | Summit elev. 1325 m



PVMBG reported that Ibu continued to erupt during 31 May-6 June.
White-and-gray ash plumes of variable densities rose as high as 1 km above
the summit and drifted in multiple directions during 31 May-1 June.
According to the Darwin VAAC ash plume rose 2.1-2.4 km (7,000-8,000 ft)
a.s.l. and drifted SE, E, and NE on 2 and 5 June. The Alert Level remained
at a 2 (the second highest level on a four-level scale), and the public was
advised to stay outside of the 2 km hazard radius, and to stay 3.5 km away
from the N area of the active crater.



Geologic Summary. The truncated summit of Gunung Ibu stratovolcano along
the NW coast of Halmahera Island has large nested summit craters. The inner
crater, 1 km wide and 400 m deep, has contained several small crater lakes.
The 1.2-km-wide outer crater is breached on the N, creating a steep-walled
valley. A large cone grew ENE of the summit, and a smaller one to the WSW
has fed a lava flow down the W flank. A group of maars is located below the
N and W flanks. The first observed and recorded eruption was a small
explosion from the summit crater in 1911. Eruptive activity began again in
December 1998, producing a lava dome that eventually covered much of the
floor of the inner summit crater along with ongoing explosive ash emissions.

Iliamna  | Alaska Peninsula  | 60.032°N, 153.09°W  | Summit elev. 3053 m



AVO reported that seismic activity at Iliamna began to increase at around
1200 on 5 June. Initially earthquakes occurred about every one minute, then
became more closely spaced. The source of the activity was possibly from
movement of magma or hydrothermal fluids beneath the volcano, though
similar activity had been observed before large mass movements or
avalanches; AVO could not rule out either. The Aviation Color Code was
raised to Yellow (the second lowest level on a four-color scale) and the
Volcano Alert Level was raised to Advisory (the second lowest level on a
four-level scale).



The earthquake activity culminated in an ice-rock avalanche just before
1714. There was no visual confirmation, but the signals matched historical
observations associated with avalanches at Red Glacier on the E flank.
Seismicity declined to background levels. The Aviation Color Code was
lowered to Green (the lowest level on a four-color scale) and the Volcano
Alert Level was lowered to Normal (the second lowest level on a four-level
scale).



Geologic Summary. Iliamna is a prominentglacier-covered stratovolcano in
Lake Clark National Park on the western side of Cook Inlet, about 225 km SW
of Anchorage. Its flat-topped summit is flanked on the south, along a
5-km-long ridge, by the prominent North and South Twin Peaks, satellitic
lava dome complexes. The Johnson Glacier dome complex lies on the NE flank.
Steep headwalls on the S and E flanks expose an inaccessible cross-section
of the volcano. Major glaciers radiate from the summit, and valleys below
the summit contain debris-avalanche and lahar deposits. Only a few major
Holocene explosive eruptions have occurred from the deeply dissected
volcano, which lacks a distinct crater. Most of the reports of historical
eruptions may represent plumes from vigorous fumaroles E and SE of the
summit, which are often mistaken for eruption columns (Miller et al.,
1998). Eruptions producing pyroclastic flows have been dated at as recent
as about 300 and 140 years ago, and elevated seismicity accompanying dike
emplacement beneath the volcano was recorded in 1996.

Krakatau  | Sunda Strait  | 6.102°S, 105.423°E  | Summit elev. 155 m



PVMBG reported that at 1434 on 6 June a dense gray ash plume from Anak
Krakatau rose around 500 m above the summit and drifted NW. The Alert Level
remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-4), and the public was warned to stay at
least 5 km away from the crater.



Geologic Summary. The renowned volcano Krakatau (frequently misstated as
Krakatoa) lies in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. Collapse of
the ancestral edifice, perhaps in 416 or 535 CE, formed a 7-km-wide
caldera. Remnants of that volcano are preserved in Verlaten and Lang
Islands; subsequently Rakata, Danan, and Perbuwatan volcanoes were formed,
coalescing to create the pre-1883 Krakatau Island. Caldera collapse during
the catastrophic 1883 eruption destroyed Danan and Perbuwatan, and left
only a remnant of Rakata. This eruption caused more than 36,000 fatalities,
most as a result of tsunamis that swept the adjacent coastlines of Sumatra
and Java. Pyroclastic surges traveled 40 km across the Sunda Strait and
reached the Sumatra coast. After a quiescence of less than a half century,
the post-collapse cone of Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatau) was constructed
within the 1883 caldera at a point between the former cones of Danan and
Perbuwatan. Anak Krakatau has been the site of frequent eruptions since
1927.

Lewotolok  | Lembata Island  | 8.274°S, 123.508°E  | Summit elev. 1431 m



PVMBG reported that the eruption at Lewotolok continued during 31 May-6
June. Ash plumes were periodically visible through the week. Dense
white-and-gray ash plumes rose as high as 600 m above the summit and
drifted W and NW on 1 June. Ash plumes on 2 June rose as high as 1 km and
drifted W and SW. A dense ash plume rose 550 m and drifted SW on 5 June.
The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public was warned
to stay at least 2 km away from the summit crater in all directions.



Geologic Summary. The Lewotolok (or Lewotolo) stratovolcano occupies the
eastern end of an elongated peninsula extending north into the Flores Sea,
connected to Lembata (formerly Lomblen) Island by a narrow isthmus. It is
symmetrical when viewed from the north and east. A small cone with a
130-m-wide crater constructed at the SE side of a larger crater forms the
volcano's high point. Many lava flows have reached the coastline. Eruptions
recorded since 1660 have consisted of explosive activity from the summit
crater.

Merapi  | Central Java  | 7.54°S, 110.446°E  | Summit elev. 2910 m



BPPTKG reported that the eruption at Merapi (on Java) continued during 26
May-1 June and seismicity remained at elevated levels. The SW lava dome
produced 155 lava avalanches that traveled as far as 2 km down the SW flank
(upstream in the Bebeng and Boyong drainages) and one that traveled 500 m
NW (upstream of the Senowo River). Morphological changes to the SW lava
dome due to continuing collapses of material were evident in webcam images.
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.



Geologic Summary. Merapi, one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes, lies in
one of the world's most densely populated areas and dominates the landscape
immediately north of the major city of Yogyakarta. It is the youngest and
southernmost of a volcanic chain extending NNW to Ungaran volcano. Growth
of Old Merapi during the Pleistocene ended with major edifice collapse
perhaps about 2,000 years ago, leaving a large arcuate scarp cutting the
eroded older Batulawang volcano. Subsequent growth of the steep-sided Young
Merapi edifice, its upper part unvegetated due to frequent activity, began
SW of the earlier collapse scarp. Pyroclastic flows and lahars accompanying
growth and collapse of the steep-sided active summit lava dome have
devastated cultivated lands on the western-to-southern flanks and caused
many fatalities.

Nevado del Ruiz  | Colombia  | 4.892°N, 75.324°W  | Summit elev. 5279 m



Servicio Geológico Colombianoâ??s (SGC) Observatorio Vulcanológico y
Sismológico de Manizales reported that the eruption at Nevado del Ruiz
continued during 31 May-6 June and was characterized by periodic gas,
steam, and ash emissions, and thermal anomalies at the lava dome in Arenas
Crater. Seismicity fluctuated at low levels; on 31 May SGC stated that
during the past several days seismicity had decreased compared to the
previous weeks. Daily gas-and-steam emissions were visible in webcam images
and contained ash on most days; emissions rose as high as 2 km above the
crater and mainly drifted NW. Ash emissions were confirmed in satellite
images on the other days according to the Washington VAAC. A significant
thermal anomaly was observed within the crater on 31 May. That same day a
sulfur odor was reported in Cerro Gualí. Minor ashfall was reported in the
municipalities of Villamaría (28 km NW) and Manizales (28 km NW) on 4 June.
The Alert Level was remained at Orange, Level II (the second highest level
on a four-level scale).



Geologic Summary. Nevado del Ruiz is a broad, glacier-covered volcano in
central Colombia that covers more than 200 km2. Three major edifices,
composed of andesitic and dacitic lavas and andesitic pyroclastics, have
been constructed since the beginning of the Pleistocene. The modern cone
consists of a broad cluster of lava domes built within the caldera of an
older edifice. The 1-km-wide, 240-m-deep Arenas crater occupies the summit.
The prominent La Olleta pyroclastic cone located on the SW flank may also
have been active in historical time. Steep headwalls of massive landslides
cut the flanks. Melting of its summit icecap during historical eruptions,
which date back to the 16th century, has resulted in devastating lahars,
including one in 1985 that was South America's deadliest eruption.

Nyiragongo  | DR Congo  | 1.52°S, 29.25°E  | Summit elev. 3470 m



The Observatoire Volcanologique de Goma (OVG) characterized activity at
Nyiragongo during 27 May-4 June as normal. Sulfur dioxide emissions were
low. Faint incandescence at the crater was observed at 1900 on 4 June. The
Alert Level remained at Yellow.



Geologic Summary. One of Africa's most notable volcanoes, Nyiragongo
contained a lava lake in its deep summit crater that was active for half a
century before draining catastrophically through its outer flanks in 1977.
The steep slopes of a stratovolcano contrast to the low profile of its
neighboring shield volcano, Nyamuragira. Benches in the steep-walled,
1.2-km-wide summit crater mark levels of former lava lakes, which have been
observed since the late-19th century. Two older stratovolcanoes, Baruta and
Shaheru, are partially overlapped by Nyiragongo on the north and south.
About 100 parasitic cones are located primarily along radial fissures south
of Shaheru, east of the summit, and along a NE-SW zone extending as far as
Lake Kivu. Many cones are buried by voluminous lava flows that extend long
distances down the flanks, which is characterized by the eruption of
foiditic rocks. The extremely fluid 1977 lava flows caused many fatalities,
as did lava flows that inundated portions of the major city of Goma in

Sabancaya  | Peru  | 15.787°S, 71.857°W  | Summit elev. 5960 m



Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP) reported moderate levels of activity at
Sabancaya during 29 May-4 June with a daily average of 24 explosions.
Gas-and-ash plumes rose as high as 2.1 km above the summit and drifted NW
and W. Six thermal anomalies originating from the lava dome in the summit
crater were identified in satellite data. Minor inflation continued to be
detected near Hualca Hualca (4 km N). The Alert Level remained at Orange
(the second highest level on a four-color scale) and the public were warned
to stay outside of a 12-km radius.



Geologic Summary. Sabancaya, located in the saddle NE of Ampato and SE of
Hualca Hualca volcanoes, is the youngest of these volcanic centers and the
only one to have erupted in historical time. The oldest of the three,
Nevado Hualca Hualca, is of probable late-Pliocene to early Pleistocene
age. The name Sabancaya (meaning "tongue of fire" in the Quechua language)
first appeared in records in 1595 CE, suggesting activity prior to that
date. Holocene activity has consisted of Plinian eruptions followed by
emission of voluminous andesitic and dacitic lava flows, which form an
extensive apron around the volcano on all sides but the south. Records of
historical eruptions date back to 1750.

Sangay  | Ecuador  | 2.005°S, 78.341°W  | Summit elev. 5286 m



IG reported that the eruption at Sangay continued at a high level during 30
May-6 June, though weather clouds often prevented visual observations. The
seismic network recorded 504-528 explosions per day during 30 May-2 June
and 158-384 per day during the rest of the week. Periods of
occasional-to-frequent ash plumes were reported almost daily. Incandescence
at the crater was visible during 31 May and 3-4 June; incandescent material
traveled 1 km down the SE flank. Ashfall was reported on 1 June in Cebadas
Parish, Chimborazo Province (33 km WNW). On 4 June an ash plume rose to 1.1
km above the crater and drifted W and SW. During 4-5 June incandescent
material traveled 1 km down the SE flank. Several steam-and-ash plumes rose
as high as 1.1 km above the summit and drifted W. Servicio Nacional de
Gestión de Riesgos y Emergencias (SNGRE) maintained the Alert Level at
Yellow (the second lowest level on a four-color scale).



Geologic Summary. The isolated Sangay volcano, located east of the Andean
crest, is the southernmost of Ecuador's volcanoes and its most active. The
steep-sided, glacier-covered, dominantly andesitic volcano grew within the
open calderas of two previous edifices which were destroyed by collapse to
the east, producing large debris avalanches that reached the Amazonian
lowlands. The modern edifice dates back to at least 14,000 years ago. It
towers above the tropical jungle on the east side; on the other sides flat
plains of ash have been eroded by heavy rains into steep-walled canyons up
to 600 m deep. The earliest report of an eruption was in 1628. Almost
continuous eruptions were reported from 1728 until 1916, and again from
1934 to the present. The almost constant activity has caused frequent
changes to the morphology of the summit crater complex.

Santa Maria  | Southwestern Guatemala  | 14.757°N, 91.552°W  | Summit elev.
3745 m



INSIVUMEH reported that the eruption at Santa Maríaâ??s Santiaguito lava-dome
complex continued during 31 May-6 June. Effusion from the Caliente dome
complex fed lava flows that descended the San Isidro and Zanjón Seco
drainages on the W and SW flanks; the main lava flow was 4.3 km long and
remained active. Avalanches of material from the growing dome and
occasional explosions descended all flanks of the dome, and avalanches from
the margins of lava flows descended the S and SW flanks. Incandescence from
the dome and lava flows was visible during the nights and early mornings.
An average of 1-2 explosions per hour were recorded on most days,
generating ash-and-steam plumes that rose up to 1 km above the dome and on
some days drifted S and SE.



Geologic Summary. Symmetrical, forest-covered Santa María volcano is part
of a chain of large stratovolcanoes that rise above the Pacific coastal
plain of Guatemala. The sharp-topped, conical profile is cut on the SW
flank by a 1.5-km-wide crater. The oval-shaped crater extends from just
below the summit to the lower flank, and was formed during a catastrophic
eruption in 1902. The renowned Plinian eruption of 1902 that devastated
much of SW Guatemala followed a long repose period after construction of
the large basaltic-andesite stratovolcano. The massive dacitic Santiaguito
lava-dome complex has been growing at the base of the 1902 crater since
1922. Compound dome growth at Santiaguito has occurred episodically from
four vents, with activity progressing W towards the most recent, Caliente.
Dome growth has been accompanied by almost continuous minor explosions,
with periodic lava extrusion, larger explosions, pyroclastic flows, and
lahars.

Semeru  | Eastern Java  | 8.108°S, 112.922°E  | Summit elev. 3657 m



PVMBG reported that the eruption at Semeru continued during 31 May-6 June.
Steam-and-gas plumes were occasionally visible, though weather clouds often
obscured visual observations. White-and-gray ash plumes rose 300-500 m
above the summit and drifted W and NW on 3 June. The Alert Level remained
at 3 (third highest on a scale of 1-4). The public was warned to stay at
least 5 km away from the summit in all directions, 13 km from the summit to
the SE, 500 m from the banks of the Kobokan drainage as far as 17 km from
the summit, and to avoid other drainages including the Bang, Kembar, and
Sat, due to lahar, avalanche, and pyroclastic flow hazards.



Geologic Summary. Semeru, the highest volcano on Java, and one of its most
active, lies at the southern end of a volcanic massif extending north to
the Tengger caldera. The steep-sided volcano, also referred to as Mahameru
(Great Mountain), rises above coastal plains to the south. Gunung Semeru
was constructed south of the overlapping Ajek-ajek and Jambangan calderas.
A line of lake-filled maars was constructed along a N-S trend cutting
through the summit, and cinder cones and lava domes occupy the eastern and
NE flanks. Summit topography is complicated by the shifting of craters from
NW to SE. Frequent 19th and 20th century eruptions were dominated by
small-to-moderate explosions from the summit crater, with occasional lava
flows and larger explosive eruptions accompanied by pyroclastic flows that
have reached the lower flanks of the volcano.

Semisopochnoi  | Aleutian Islands (USA)  | 51.93°N, 179.58°E  | Summit
elev. 1221 m



AVO reported that low-level unrest continued at Semisopochnoi during 30
May-6 June. Seismicity remained low and few earthquakes were detected.
Minor steam emissions were occasionally visible in webcam images on 31 May
and 2 and 4 June. The Volcano Alert Level remained at Advisory (the second
highest on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code remained at
Yellow (the second highest color on a four-color scale).



Geologic Summary. Semisopochnoi, the largest subaerial volcano of the
western Aleutians, is 20 km wide at sea level and contains an 8-km-wide
caldera. It formed as a result of collapse of a low-angle, dominantly
basaltic volcano following the eruption of a large volume of dacitic
pumice. The high point of the island is Anvil Peak, a double-peaked
late-Pleistocene cone that forms much of the island's northern part. The
three-peaked Mount Cerberus (renamed Mount Young in 2023) was constructed
within the caldera during the Holocene. Each of the peaks contains a summit
crater; lava flows on the N flank appear younger than those on the south
side. Other post-caldera volcanoes include the symmetrical Sugarloaf Peak
SSE of the caldera and Lakeshore Cone, a small cinder cone at the edge of
Fenner Lake in the NE part of the caldera. Most documented eruptions have
originated from Young, although Coats (1950) considered that both Sugarloaf
and Lakeshore Cone could have been recently active.

Sheveluch  | Central Kamchatka (Russia)  | 56.653°N, 161.36°E  | Summit
elev. 3283 m



KVERT reported that the eruption at Sheveluch was ongoing during 25 May-1
June. Intense fumarolic activity at the active crater was likely associated
with growth of Karan lava dome. A thermal anomaly over the active crater
and Karan dome area was identified in satellite images during 25-30 May;
weather clouds obscured the volcano on the other days. Plumes of ash,
originally deposited during the 10-13 April eruption and resuspended by
strong winds, were visible in satellite images drifting 120 km ESE during
27-28 May. The Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the second highest
level on a four-color scale). Dates are based on UTC times; specific events
are in local time where noted.



Geologic Summary. The high, isolated massif of Sheveluch volcano (also
spelled Shiveluch) rises above the lowlands NNE of the Kliuchevskaya
volcano group. The 1,300 km3 andesitic volcano is one of Kamchatka's
largest and most active volcanic structures, with at least 60 large
eruptions during the Holocene. The summit of roughly 65,000-year-old Stary
Shiveluch is truncated by a broad 9-km-wide late-Pleistocene caldera
breached to the south. Many lava domes occur on its outer flanks. The
Molodoy Shiveluch lava dome complex was constructed during the Holocene
within the large open caldera; Holocene lava dome extrusion also took place
on the flanks of Stary Shiveluch. Widespread tephra layers from these
eruptions have provided valuable time markers for dating volcanic events in
Kamchatka. Frequent collapses of dome complexes, most recently in 1964,
have produced debris avalanches whose deposits cover much of the floor of
the breached caldera.

Suwanosejima  | Ryukyu Islands (Japan)  | 29.638°N, 129.714°E  | Summit
elev. 796 m



JMA reported that the eruption at Suwanosejima's Ontake Crater continued
during 29 May-5 June. At 1407 on 30 May an explosion generated an ash plume
that rose 800 m. Incandescence at the crater was visible at night during
2-5 June. Four eruptive events occurred during 4-5 June. Ash plumes rose to
1.1 km and drifted E and S at 1455 and 2327 on 4 June, respectively. At
1037 and 2349 on 5 June ash plumes rose 1-1.1 km and drifted E. The Alert
Level remained at 3 (on a 5-level scale) and residents were warned to stay
2 km away from the crater.



Geologic Summary. The 8-km-long island of Suwanosejima in the northern
Ryukyu Islands consists of an andesitic stratovolcano with two historically
active summit craters. The summit is truncated by a large breached crater
extending to the sea on the east flank that was formed by edifice collapse.
One of Japan's most frequently active volcanoes, it was in a state of
intermittent Strombolian activity from Otake, the NE summit crater, between
1949 and 1996, after which periods of inactivity lengthened. The largest
recorded eruption took place in 1813-14, when thick scoria deposits
blanketed residential areas, and the SW crater produced two lava flows that
reached the western coast. At the end of the eruption the summit of Otake
collapsed, forming a large debris avalanche and creating the open Sakuchi
caldera, which extends to the eastern coast. The island remained
uninhabited for about 70 years after the 1813-1814 eruption. Lava flows
reached the eastern coast of the island in 1884. Only about 50 people live
on the island.

Taal  | Luzon (Philippines)  | 14.002°N, 120.993°E  | Summit elev. 311 m



In a 2 June advisory PHIVOLCS reported continuing low-level unrest at Taal.
Starting at 0635 on 2 June relatively weak but continuous volcanic tremor
located at shallow depths along the Daang Kastila fissure was recorded by
all 15 seismic stations of the Taal Volcano Network. At the same time
webcams recorded upwelling in Main Crater Lake on Taal Volcano Island (TVI)
and more intense thermal anomalies in the N portion of the lake. Pronounced
inflation in the SW part of Taal Volcano Island was detected towards the
end of May, following a longer phase of deflation in that same sector.
Sulfur dioxide gas emissions had slightly increased during the previous two
weeks, averaging 5,360 tonnes per day during 22 May-1 June, higher than the
3,000 tonnes per day average recorded during 1 April-21 May. Emissions
averaged 5,831 tonnes per day on 1 June. PHIVOLCS stated that a new phase
of magma degassing at depth was likely driving the increased shallow
hydrothermal activity.



At 2230 on 3 June visible upwelling of volcanic fluids in the lake produced
voluminous steam-rich plumes that rose 3 km above TVI. Significant vog was
detected in the caldera and reported by residents in the municipalities of
Balete (E of Taal Lake), and Laurel and Agoncillo (both W of Taal Lake),
Batangas. Upwelling of how fluids in the lake continued during 4-7 June and
steam-rich plumes rose as high as 3 km above the lake and drifted NE and
NNE. Sulfur dioxide gas emissions averaged 9,391 tonnes per day on 5 June
and 7,680 tonnes per day on 6 June; significant vog persisted over the Taal
region. The Alert Level remained at 1 (on a scale of 0-5), and PHIVOLCS
reminded the public that the entire Taal Volcano Island was a Permanent
Danger Zone (PDZ).



Geologic Summary. Taal is one of the most active volcanoes in the
Philippines and has produced some of its most powerful historical
eruptions. Though not topographically prominent, its prehistorical
eruptions have greatly changed the landscape of SW Luzon. The 15 x 20 km
Talisay (Taal) caldera is largely filled by Lake Taal, whose 267 km2
surface lies only 3 m above sea level. The maximum depth of the lake is 160
m, and several eruptive centers lie submerged beneath the lake. The
5-km-wide Volcano Island in north-central Lake Taal is the location of all
observed eruptions. The island is composed of coalescing small
stratovolcanoes, tuff rings, and scoria cones. Powerful pyroclastic flows
and surges have caused many fatalities.
