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





Ioto  | Volcano Islands  | 24.751°N, 141.289°E  | Summit elev. 169 m



The eruption at Ioto (Iwo-jima), at a vent located about 1 km off the SE
coast of Okinahama, continued during 1-3 November. A 2 November Sentinel
satellite images showed a thermal anomaly at the SE end of the island which
was elongated to the NNW-SSE. A white plume drifted about 400 m WSW. During
an overflight on 3 November observers photographed the island and noted
that a 169-m-high cone had formed at the SSE end according to news sources.
Explosions occurred about every one minute that ejected dark material and
incandescent material about 800 m above the vent. Floating, brown-colored
pumice was present in the water around the island.



Geologic Summary. Ioto in the central Volcano Islands portion of the
Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc lies within a 9-km-wide submarine caldera. Ioto,
Iwojima, and Iojima are among many transliterations of the name. The
volcano is also known as Ogasawara-Iojima to distinguish it from several
other "Sulfur Island" volcanoes in Japan. The triangular, low-elevation,
8-km-long island narrows toward its SW tip and has produced trachyandesitic
and trachytic rocks that are more alkalic than those of other volcanoes in
this arc. The island has undergone uplift for at least the past 700 years,
accompanying resurgent doming of the caldera; a shoreline landed upon by
Captain Cook's surveying crew in 1779 is now 40 m above sea level. The
Motoyama plateau on the NE half of the island consists of submarine tuffs
overlain by coral deposits and forms the island's high point. Many
fumaroles are oriented along a NE-SW zone cutting through Motoyama.
Numerous recorded phreatic eruptions, many from vents on the W and NW sides
of the island, have accompanied the uplift.

Klyuchevskoy  | Central Kamchatka (Russia)  | 56.056°N, 160.642°E  | Summit
elev. 4754 m



An intense eruption at Klyuchevskoy began on 31 October, prompting KVERT to
raise the Aviation Color Code to Red (the highest level on a four-color
scale). Ash plumes rose as high as 14 km (45,900 ft) a.s.l. and drifted as
far as 2,255 km ESE during 31 October-1 November. Lava fountains rose as
high has 1 km above the summit and fed lava flows that descended the
Apakhonchichsky, Krestovsky, and Kozyrevsky drainages on the SE, S, and W
flanks. According to Kamchatka Volcanological Station observers pyroclastic
flows descended the flanks. Lahars descended the Studenoy River, blocking
the Kozyrevsk-Petropavlovsk federal highway, and descended the Krutenkaya
River, blocking the road E of Klyuchi. According to news articles the ash
plumes caused some flight cancellations and disruptions in the Aleutians,
British Columbia, and along flight paths connecting the Unites States to
Japan and South Korea.



Activity began to wane at around 2300 on 1 November and by 2000 on 2
November ash plumes were rising only as high as 6.5 km (21,300 ft) a.s.l.
and drifting NNE. The Aviation Color Code was lowered to Orange. The main
plume from the most intense phase of the eruption had drifted more than
3,000 km E and SE and contained about 0.1 teragram (100,000 tonnes) of
sulfur dioxide based on satellite data. Eruptive activity at the summit
continued during 3-4 November, producing ash plumes that rose as high as
5.5 km (18,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted 125 km ENE. The eruption had ceased
by 5 November. Collapses of material and phreatic explosions from hot lava
interacting with ice and snow along the Apakhonchichsky drainage generated
ash plumes that rose 5.5-8.2 km (18,000-26,900 ft) a.s.l. and drifted
almost 260 km E and ENE during 3 and 5-6 November.



Geologic Summary. Klyuchevskoy (also spelled Kliuchevskoi) is Kamchatka's
highest and most active volcano. Since its origin about 6000 years ago, the
beautifully symmetrical, 4835-m-high basaltic stratovolcano has produced
frequent moderate-volume explosive and effusive eruptions without major
periods of inactivity. It rises above a saddle NE of sharp-peaked Kamen
volcano and lies SE of the broad Ushkovsky massif. More than 100 flank
eruptions have occurred during the past roughly 3000 years, with most
lateral craters and cones occurring along radial fissures between the
unconfined NE-to-SE flanks of the conical volcano between 500 m and 3600 m
elevation. The morphology of the 700-m-wide summit crater has been
frequently modified by historical eruptions, which have been recorded since
the late-17th century. Historical eruptions have originated primarily from
the summit crater, but have also included numerous major explosive and
effusive eruptions from flank craters.

Reykjanes  | Reykjanes Peninsula  | 63.817°N, 22.717°W  | Summit elev. 140 m



IMO reported that increased seismicity and deformation at the Reykjanes
Peninsula were ongoing during 1-7 November and indicated magma accumulation
at depths of 4-5 km in an area NW of Mt. Thorbjorn. A total of 7 cm of
uplift was recorded in satellite data and by the Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) station near Mt. Thorbjorn during 27 October-6
November. The rate of inflation was fairly constant though it began to
accelerate on 3 November. Data models indicated that the volume change
associated with the uplift was double that of the four previous inflation
events recorded during 2020-2022; the inflow of magma was estimated at 7
cubic meters per second, or four times greater than the highest inflow rate
recorded during the previous events.



Intense seismicity continued. Over 10,500 earthquakes were detected during
25 October-1 November, out of which more than 26 exceeded M 3 and the
largest was a M 4.5 recorded at 0818 on 25 October. Seismicity increased
for early on 3 November, and then notably decreased around 1730. The
signals were located along previously known faults, aligned in a N-S
direction W of Mt. Thorbjorn. There was no indication of magma migrating to
the surface. During 4-7 November there were around 2,200 earthquakes, which
were located between Mt. Thorbjorn and Sýlingafell during 6-7 November.



Geologic Summary. The Reykjanes volcanic system at the SW tip of the
Reykjanes Peninsula, where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge rises above sea level,
comprises a broad area of postglacial basaltic crater rows and small shield
volcanoes. The submarine Reykjaneshryggur volcanic system is contiguous
with and is considered part of the Reykjanes volcanic system, which is the
westernmost of a series of four closely-spaced en-echelon fissure systems
that extend diagonally across the Reykjanes Peninsula. Most of the
subaerial part of the system (also known as the Reykjanes/Svartsengi
volcanic system) is covered by Holocene lavas. Subaerial eruptions have
occurred in historical time during the 13th century at several locations on
the NE-SW-trending fissure system, and numerous submarine eruptions dating
back to the 12th century have been observed during historical time, some of
which have formed ephemeral islands. Basaltic rocks of probable Holocene
age have been recovered during dredging operations, and tephra deposits
from earlier Holocene eruptions are preserved on the nearby Reykjanes
Peninsula.

Ongoing Activity





Aira  | Kyushu (Japan)  | 31.5772°N, 130.6589°E  | Summit elev. 1117 m



JMA reported ongoing activity at Minamidake Crater (Aira Calderaâ??s
Sakurajima volcano) during 30 October-6 November, with incandescence at the
crater observed nightly. Sulfur dioxide emissions averaged 1,300 tons per
day on 2 November. There was a total of 10 eruptive events recorded during
30-31 October and 1-2 November. Ash plumes rose as high as 1.8 km above the
crater rim and drifted N, E, and SE. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a
5-level scale), and the public was 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 caldera, along
with several post-caldera cones. The construction of Sakurajima began about
13,000 years ago on the southern rim and built an island that was joined to
the Osumi Peninsula during the major explosive and effusive eruption of
1914. Activity at the Kitadake summit cone ended about 4,850 years ago,
after which eruptions took place at Minamidake. Frequent eruptions since
the 8th century have deposited ash on the city of Kagoshima, located across
Kagoshima Bay only 8 km from the summit. The largest recorded eruption took
place during 1471-76.

Dukono  | Halmahera  | 1.6992°N, 127.8783°E  | Summit elev. 1273 m



PVMBG reported that the eruption at Dukono was ongoing during 1-7 November.
Daily dense white-and-gray or gray-to-black ash plumes rose as high as 1.2
km above the summit and drifted in multiple directions. Ashfall up to 0.5
mm thick fell in several areas downwind including Mede, Popilo, Gorua, Waro
ino-Weri, Buwaele, Gura, Cina, Gamsungi, and Tobelo (15 km ENE). Banging
noises were also heard several times in the same villages. The Alert Level
remained at Level 2 (on a scale of 1-4), and the public was warned to
remain outside of the 2-km exclusion zone.



Geologic Summary. Reports from this remote volcano in northernmost
Halmahera are rare, but Dukono has been one of Indonesia's most active
volcanoes. More-or-less continuous explosive eruptions, sometimes
accompanied by lava flows, have occurred since 1933. During a major
eruption in 1550 CE, a lava flow filled in the strait between Halmahera and
the N-flank Gunung Mamuya cone. This complex volcano presents a broad, low
profile with multiple summit peaks and overlapping craters. Malupang
Wariang, 1 km SW of the summit crater complex, contains a 700 x 570 m
crater that has also been active during historical time.

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



KVERT reported that moderate explosive activity at Ebeko was ongoing during
26 October-2 November. According to volcanologists in Severo-Kurilsk
(Paramushir Island, about 7 km E), explosions generated ash plumes that
rose as high as 2.6 km (8,500 ft) a.s.l and drifted NE. A thermal anomaly
was identified in satellite images on 28 October; weather clouds obscured
views on other days. The Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the third
level on a four-color scale). Dates are UTC; 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.

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



AVO reported that slow lava effusion likely continued at Great Sitkin
during 1-7 November, producing a thick flow in the summit crater that
mainly expanded E. Seismicity was low with only a few earthquakes recorded
by the seismic network during the week. Weakly elevated surface
temperatures were identified in satellite data during 3-4 November. Weather
clouds sometimes obscured views. 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).



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.

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



PVMBG reported that the eruption at Lewotolok continued during 1-7
November. White-and-gray ash plumes rose 100-400 m above the summit and
drifted W and NW on 1 November. White steam-and-gas plumes rose 50-400 m
and drifted W, NW, and E on the other days during the week. Webcam images
captured at 1853 on 1 November and 0350 on 3 November showed incandescent
material being ejected above the summit. Incandescence at the summit was
visible in a webcam image at 2128 on 4 November. 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.



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.

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



PHIVOLCS reported that slow lava effusion at Mayonâ??s summit crater
continued during 1-7 November. The lengths of the lava flow in the Mi-Isi
(S), Bonga (SE), and Basud (E) drainages remained at 2.8 km, 3.4 km, and
1.1 km, respectively. Collapses at the lava dome produced rockfalls and
occasional pyroclastic density currents (PDCs, or pyroclastic flows) that
descended the flanks as far as 4 km. Each day, seismic stations recorded
84-175 rockfall events and 66-187 daily volcanic earthquakes including
62-179 tremor events that each lasted 1-49 minutes. There were 0-4 daily
PDC events. Sulfur dioxide emissions, measured almost daily, averaged
between 920 and 1,539 tonnes per day, with the highest value recorded on 1
November. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a 0-5 scale) and residents were
reminded to stay away from the 6-km-radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ).
PHIVOLCS recommended that civil aviation authorities advise pilots to avoid
flying close to the summit.



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.

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



BPPTKG reported that the eruption at Merapi (on Java) continued during 27
October-2 November. The SW lava dome produced a total of 135 lava
avalanches that descended the S and SW flanks; 16 traveled as far as 1.6 km
down the upper part of the Boyong drainage and 119 traveled as far as 1.9
km down the upper Bebeng drainage. Morphological changes to the SW lava
dome were due to continuous collapses of material. Seismicity remained at
elevated levels. 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.

Reventador  | Ecuador  | 0.077°S, 77.656°W  | Summit elev. 3562 m



IG-EPN reported that the eruption at Reventador was ongoing during 31
October-7 November. Seismicity was characterized by 37-52 daily explosions,
long-period earthquakes, harmonic tremor, and tremor associated with
emissions. Several daily ash-and-gas plumes rose as high as 1.2 km above
the crater rim and drifted mainly N, NW, N, and NE. Daily crater
incandescence was visible during both overnight and morning hours.
Avalanches of incandescent material descended the flanks, traveling as far
as 800 m from the summit. Incandescent material was ejected as high as 300
m above the crater rim several times during 4-7 November. Weather
conditions sometimes prevented views of the volcano. Secretaría de Gestión
de Riesgos maintained the Alert Level at Orange (the second highest level
on a four-color scale).



Geologic Summary. Volcán El Reventador is the most frequently active of a
chain of Ecuadorian volcanoes in the Cordillera Real, well east of the
principal volcanic axis. The forested, dominantly andesitic stratovolcano
has 4-km-wide avalanche scarp open to the E formed by edifice collapse. A
young, unvegetated, cone rises from the amphitheater floor to a height
comparable to the rim. It has been the source of numerous lava flows as
well as explosive eruptions visible from Quito, about 90 km ESE. Frequent
lahars in this region of heavy rainfall have left extensive deposits on the
scarp slope. The largest recorded eruption took place in 2002, producing a
17-km-high eruption column, pyroclastic flows that traveled up to 8 km, and
lava flows from summit and flank vents.

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



Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP) reported that the eruption at Sabancaya
continued at moderate levels during 30 October-5 November with a daily
average of five explosions. Gas-and-ash plumes rose as high as 2.2 km above
the summit and drifted W, SW, and SE. A total of 12 thermal anomalies from
the lava dome in the summit crater were detected using satellite data.
Minor inflation was detected near the Hualca Hualca sector (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-EPN reported a high level of eruptive activity at Sangay during 31
October-7 November, with seismic stations recording 436-1,122 daily
explosions. Several ash-and-gas plumes per day during 1-4 and 6 November
rose as high as 2.5 km above the crater rim and drifted NE, N, NW, and SW.
Webcam images showed incandescent material descending the SE flank as far
as 1.8 km from the crater each day during overnight and early morning
hours. Incandescence at the crater was often visible; incandescent material
was ejected as high as 1 km above the crater rim during 4-5 November.
Secretaría de Gestión de Riesgos maintained the Alert Level at Yellow (the
second highest 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.

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



KVERT reported that the eruption at Sheveluch continued during 26 October-2
November. A daily thermal anomaly was identified in satellite images. The
Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the third 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.

Shishaldin  | Fox Islands (USA)  | 54.756°N, 163.97°W  | Summit elev. 2857 m



AVO reported that the thirteenth significant explosive event since 12 July
was recorded at Shishaldin on 2 November. An increase in seismic and
infrasound tremor amplitudes began at 1940 on 2 November, indicating a
likely eruption. The Volcano Alert Level was raised to Watch (the third
level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code was raised to
Orange (the third color on a four-color scale), though ash was not
identified in satellite data. At 2000 a sustained ash cloud drifting W was
identified in satellite data at an altitude of 6.1 km (20,000 ft) a.s.l. By
0831 on 3 November ash emissions were no longer visible in satellite images
and seismic and infrasound data indicated a decline in activity. During 4-7
November seismic activity remained elevated with ongoing tremor and small,
low-frequency earthquakes. Minor emissions of steam and sulfur dioxide were
visible in webcam and satellite images. Elevated surface temperatures were
identified in satellite images on a few occasions. Infrasound signals
consistent with small explosions were recorded during 5-7 November.



Geologic Summary. The symmetrical glacier-covered Shishaldin is the highest
and one of the most active volcanoes of the Aleutian Islands. It is the
westernmost of three large stratovolcanoes in the eastern half of Unimak
Island. The Aleuts named the volcano Sisquk, meaning "mountain which points
the way when I am lost." Constructed atop an older glacially dissected
edifice, it is largely basaltic in composition. Remnants of an older
ancestral volcano are exposed on the W and NE sides at 1,500-1,800 m
elevation. There are over two dozen pyroclastic cones on its NW flank,
which is blanketed by massive aa lava flows. Frequent explosive activity,
primarily consisting of Strombolian ash eruptions from the small summit
crater, but sometimes producing lava flows, has been recorded since the
18th century. A steam plume often rises from the summit crater.

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 30 October-6 November. Eruptive events during 30-31 October and 2
and 4 November generated ash plumes that rose as high as 1.5 km above the
crater rim and drifted NW, S, and W; on 30 October and 4 November the ash
plumes rose into weather clouds and may have gone higher than observed. The
eruptive events ejected large blocks as far as 300 m from the vent. Alert
Level remained at 2 (on a 5-level scale) and the public was warned to stay
at least 1 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.

Ubinas  | Peru  | 16.355°S, 70.903°W  | Summit elev. 5672 m



Instituto Geofísico del Perú (IGP) reported that activity at Ubinas was at
low levels during 30 October-5 November. Seismicity was low with daily
averages of 95 volcano-tectonic earthquakes indicating rock fracturing and
24 long-period earthquakes signifying the movement of gas and magma.
Gas-and-steam plumes rose as high as 900 m above the crater rim and drifted
E and SE; no explosions nor ash emissions were recorded. The Alert Level
was lowered to Yellow (the second level on a four-color scale) and the
public was warned to stay 2 km away from the crater.



Geologic Summary. A small, 1.4-km-wide caldera cuts the top of Ubinas,
Perú's most active volcano, giving it a truncated appearance. It is the
northernmost of three young volcanoes located along a regional structural
lineament about 50 km behind the main volcanic front. The growth and
destruction of Ubinas I was followed by construction of Ubinas II beginning
in the mid-Pleistocene. The upper slopes of the andesitic-to-rhyolitic
Ubinas II stratovolcano are composed primarily of andesitic and
trachyandesitic lava flows and steepen to nearly 45 degrees. The
steep-walled, 150-m-deep summit caldera contains an ash cone with a
500-m-wide funnel-shaped vent that is 200 m deep. Debris-avalanche deposits
from the collapse of the SE flank about 3,700 years ago extend 10 km from
the volcano. Widespread Plinian pumice-fall deposits include one of
Holocene age about 1,000 years ago. Holocene lava flows are visible on the
flanks, but historical activity, documented since the 16th century, has
consisted of intermittent minor-to-moderate explosive eruptions.

Ulawun  | New Britain (Papua New Guinea)  | 5.05°S, 151.33°E  | Summit
elev. 2334 m



Rabaul Volcano Observatory (RVO) reported that diffuse white plumes rose
from Ulawunâ??s summit crater on 1 November. A low booming noise was heard at
1945. Minor crater incandescence began to be visible later that day at
around 2100 and was observed until sunrise. White emissions were visible
early on 2 November but by the afternoon clouds of gray-to-brown ash were
occasionally observed when weather permitted observations. Crater
incandescence was again visible at nightfall but was more intense than the
previous night and remained visible until sunrise. Seismicity was dominated
by low-level volcanic tremor. Small, low-frequency earthquakes occurring at
long intervals began to be recorded at some point before 2300 on 1
November; an increase in both magnitude and frequency occurred after 2300
and the signal again intensified after 0800 on 2 November. Seismicity
slightly declined around 0800 on 3 November and remained at those levels at
least through noon. The Alert Level remained at Stage 2 (on the four-level
scale).



Geologic Summary. The symmetrical basaltic-to-andesitic Ulawun
stratovolcano is the highest volcano of the Bismarck arc, and one of Papua
New Guinea's most frequently active. The volcano, also known as the Father,
rises above the N coast of the island of New Britain across a low saddle NE
of Bamus volcano, the South Son. The upper 1,000 m is unvegetated. A
prominent E-W escarpment on the south may be the result of large-scale
slumping. Satellitic cones occupy the NW and E flanks. A steep-walled
valley cuts the NW side, and a flank lava-flow complex lies to the south of
this valley. Historical eruptions date back to the beginning of the 18th
century. Twentieth-century eruptions were mildly explosive until 1967, but
after 1970 several larger eruptions produced lava flows and basaltic
pyroclastic flows, greatly modifying the summit crater.

Villarrica  | Central Chile  | 39.42°S, 71.93°W  | Summit elev. 2847 m



According to the Buenos Aires VAAC a diffuse ash-and-gas plume from
Villarrica was observed in satellite and webcam images at 0900 on 2
November rising to 3.7 km (12,000 ft) a.s.l. and dissipating near the
summit. POVI reported that lava fountaining above the crater rim was
visible in webcam images for more than 15 seconds on 3 November.
Incandescence from the summit was visible during the early morning hours of
6 November. The Volcanic Alert level remained at Yellow (the third level on
a four-level scale) according to SERNAGEOMIN and the public was warned to
stay 2 km away from the crater. SENAPRED maintained the Alert Level at
Yellow (the middle level on a three-color scale) for the communities of
Villarrica, Pucón (16 km N), Curarrehue, and Panguipulli.



Geologic Summary. The glacier-covered Villarrica stratovolcano, in the
northern Lakes District of central Chile, is ~15 km south of the city of
Pucon. A 2-km-wide caldera that formed about 3,500 years ago is located at
the base of the presently active, dominantly basaltic to basaltic-andesite
cone at the NW margin of a 6-km-wide Pleistocene caldera. More than 30
scoria cones and fissure vents are present on the flanks. Plinian eruptions
and pyroclastic flows that have extended up to 20 km from the volcano were
produced during the Holocene. Lava flows up to 18 km long have issued from
summit and flank vents. Eruptions documented since 1558 CE have consisted
largely of mild-to-moderate explosive activity with occasional lava
effusion. Glaciers cover 40 km2 of the volcano, and lahars have damaged
towns on its flanks.
