Earthquake & Volcano Monitor — June 3, 2026
Seismic Activity
On June 1, 2026, at 03:34 UTC, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake occurred in the Izu Islands, Japan region. The USGS PAGER system assigned a green alert level, indicating no significant casualties or damage were expected.
Just hours ago, a magnitude 3.6 earthquake shook the San Francisco Bay Area on June 2, 2026. The New York Times interactive map tracked the quake's epicenter and shake zone, providing real-time data to residents in the affected region.
Earthquake Tracker reports 149 earthquakes worldwide in recent days, with the largest recorded at magnitude 5.6.
Volcanic Watch
Sabancaya, Peru continues to produce explosive activity, with an explosion reaching 2,500 meters above the volcano's summit on June 1, 2026. This follows ongoing monitoring of the volcano's behavior.
Kīlauea, Hawaii remains under advisory status with its aviation color code at YELLOW. While the volcano is not currently erupting according to the latest USGS update, lava fountain activity (Episode 47) continues at Kīlauea's summit, with ash columns reaching 20,000 feet above sea level and drifting northeast.
Globally, approximately 40 volcanoes are experiencing continuing eruptions, with around 20 actively erupting at any given time, according to the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program.
Earth Science
Routine monitoring continues at major volcanic systems including Mount Pelee and Yellowstone, with shallow earthquake activity increasing at Tokachidake. Scientists continue to track the relationship between volcano-tectonic earthquakes and subsurface fluid movement that may influence volcanic system development.
