At Agung? The seismic activity may have dropped in the last few days but in isolation that may not mean much. There is still steam being vented and some inflation.

AFAIK the status is still at the same level?

Thee is an interesting (translated) interview here from a couple of days ago http://ubudnowandthen.com/intv-mt-agung-volcanologist-devy-k-syahbana-241017/ 

Probably Mail hysteria but is "Bunga Bunga" about to blow properly this time? I remember the 2014 lava flows

May be better to use a local source

IIRC swarms can indicate magma on the move.

The most powerful volcano in Iceland, situated under Europe's largest glacier- geographically interesting; potentially physically interesting too, or are those just Top Trumps statistics?

Yes, this gorge at Gullfoss (and several miles downstream) is reckoned to have been carved out by a glacier burst in the space of a few days after an eruption under this icecap. The flow is estimated to be similar to that of the Amazon.

Top tip if it blows - learn how to spell 'jokulhlaup'

An eruption has begun on Agung volcano of Bali, Indonesia. This time it is larger than the initial phreatic eruption the other day;

Aviation red warnings out for this

Reports of volcanic ash on the runway at Denpasar airport, some 50 km to the SSW of Agung.

If this volcano in Bali blows, it could lower global temperatures by between 0.2 - 0.4c during the following 1-3 years. One to watch.

Global temps are probably due a cyclical drop eitherway.
An extra shove could cause problems?.

Stromboli is worth a watch right now.

Every often there is significant explosive activity to the left of the the red glow.

1.044 on-line as I post this.

Edit if you listen with speakers/headphones you can get the sound as well. Made me jump a few minutes ago when I was on another page.

Philippines' Mayon Volcano is erupting:

Mount Kusatsu-Shirane in central Japan erupted injuring skiers and army personnel.

 The army were training for rescue operations and had to be rescued themselves!

Excellent link there. Well done for finding that.

Interesting going on at Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii Big Island, at the moment.

Extract from USGS Volcanoes

Starting on the afternoon of Monday, April 30, 2018, magma beneath Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō drained and triggered the collapse of the crater floor. Within hours, earthquakes began migrating east of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō, signaling an intrusion of magma along the middle and lower East Rift Zone. As of about noon on Wednesday, May 2, these earthquakes continue along the lower East Rift Zone, with many reports of earthquakes felt by residents in nearby subdivisions. On the map, the orange dashed line marks the approximate area within which most of the earthquakes are located based on automatic earthquake locations and analysis by seismologists. All earthquake locations are preliminary.

Puna residents reported to USGS-Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists the recent appearance of ground cracks on a couple of roads in and around Leilani Estates. No steaming or heat were observed to originate from the cracks, and the cracks are currently still small (no more than several inches across). These cracks result from deformation of the ground surface due to the underlying intrusion of magma.

Following on from the last post on Kilauea, Hawaii, an eruption is now occurring on the fissure.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, the structure of Kilauea being a hot spot under the middle of the large Pacific plate, means that there will be plenty of lava flow but seriously explosive eruptions are unlikely.

Agreed. Maybe not high on the list of global catastrophes, but you wouldn't want to be living next to it
