Incandescence is visible at night at Halema`uma`u crater at Kilauea summit. Small amounts of lava are being emitted from the vent, and ash emissions are visible during the day. On March 29 sulphur dioxide levels at the summit were 730 tonnes/day, compared to background levels of 150-200 tonnes/day. Sulphur dioxide emission rate increases from this [...]

Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii – John Seach
March 25, 2008Ash emissions are occurring from a small vent at Halema`uma`u crater, Kilauea volcano. This follows an explosion which occurred at the crater on the 19th March. The current explosive activity at the summit of Kilauea is the first in 84 years. Sulfur dioxide emissions are above background levels in the summit area. Crater Rim Drive [...]

Mt Etna Volcano, Italy – John Seach
March 23, 2008Weak explosive activity has been occurring since January at Mt Etna volcano in Italy. Ash emissions are occurring from a depression on SE Crater. Periods of activity were reported from 9-10 January, 11-17 February, 25th February-3rd March, and during the past 10 days. Significant activity at Mt Etna last occurred in April 2007 with lava [...]
