Mt Pelée on fire!
Record drought affecting the island is responsible for an impressive bushfire on the western flank of the volcano. Photos are available on wwww.martinique.franceantilles.fr
 
Activity in Dominica
The Seismic Research Center (UWI) is monitoring a volcanic earthquake sequence in northern Dominica which started on June 26th. This activity remains moderate and could be linked to the Morne au Diable volcano (Source: SRC)
 
Eruption in Montserrat
Montserrat Volcano Observatory (British West-Indies) reports that Activity was high on Friday October 16 with several large pyroclastic flows reaching the sea down the White River to the south. IA number of moderate sized pyroclastic flows to the north east were also observed. Extensive ash clouds formed and rose to a maximum of 20,000 ft they resulted in only minimal ash fall in inhabited areas. (Source: MVO)

ScienceDaily: Volcano News
  • Into a volcano to test suitcase-sized science lab
    Some scientists will go anywhere for a proper test, including the mouth of a (sleeping) Hawaiian volcano. Dr. Inge Ten Kate, a University of Maryland Baltimore County research assistant, led an expedition into a cinder cone atop Mauna Kea, Hawaii, to test the prototype for an instrument that will be a miniature laboratory to discover the composition of rocks and atmospheres on moons, asteroids, and planets across the solar system.

  • Ancient DNA reveals caribou history linked to volcanic eruption
    DNA recovered from ancient caribou bones reveals a possible link between several small unique caribou herds and a massive volcanic eruption that blanketed much of the Alaskan Yukon territory in a thick layer of ash 1,000 years ago, researchers report.

  • Link between exploration well and Lusi mud volcano, strongest evidence to date shows
    Nearly four years ago, a volcano of mud erupted in the middle of an Indonesian suburb, eventually inundating four villages, displacing 30,000 people and causing a gas line explosion that killed 13. The mud volcano continues to erupt today. A new report blames a drilling company that was drilling a gas exploration well, not a relatively mild and distant earthquake.

  • Congo receives help from space after volcano eruption
    On Jan. 2, Mount Nyamulagira in the Democratic Republic of Congo erupted, spewing lava from its southern flank and raising concerns that the 100,000 people in the town of Sake could be under threat. Fears were also triggered in Goma as rumors circulated that an eruption was imminent at the nearby Nyiragongo volcano, which devastated the city in 2002.

  • Volcanic hazard map produced for island of Gran Canaria
    Researchers have defined the age, location, size and geochemistry of the volcanoes of Gran Canaria during the Holocene, 11,000 years ago, in order to draw up a map of volcanic hazards for the island. The research shows that the area of greatest volcanic activity is one of the most heavily populated areas in the north east of the island, which has suffered 24 eruptions over the period studied.
