Soufrière Guadeloupe shows ongoing activity, and seismic monitoring networks report scattered activity across the Pacific.
A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck near Palu, Indonesia on June 16, marking the most significant seismic event in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, Kīlauea's ongoing summit eruption in Hawaii paused after Episode 49 ended abruptly on June 15, with the volcano downgraded to ADVISORY status. Iceland's Bárðarbunga volcano remains under elevated alert following an intense earthquake swarm.
Kīlauea's Episode 49 eruption is now actively underway in Halemaʻumaʻu crater, with the USGS raising alert levels to WATCH/ORANGE. Iceland's Bárðarbunga volcano has been elevated to Yellow alert status following an intense earthquake swarm. A weak magnitude 2.3 earthquake struck near Portugal's Azores on June 13.
Mayon volcano in the Philippines erupted with volcanic ash extending westward on June 13, while a magnitude 3.2 earthquake struck Mindanao. Kīlauea in Hawaii remains in an advisory status following the pause of its summit eruption on June 1. Global volcanic activity continues with multiple volcanoes under monitoring.
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck Peru early today, while Kīlauea remains in a paused eruptive state with forecast models suggesting a new episode may be imminent. Active volcanic ash advisories continue for Mayon volcano in the Philippines and Sangay in Ecuador.
A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck near Hawaii on June 9 with no impact on local volcanoes, while Ecuador's Sangay volcano continues ash emissions to 21,000 feet. Researchers have developed a novel method to detect silent volcanic gas buildup months before eruptions, potentially improving early warning systems worldwide.
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the Philippines on June 7, triggering tsunami warnings and raising volcanic concerns across Mindanao. Multiple volcanoes across Ecuador and the Philippines remain active with ash advisories, while Campi Flegrei in Italy continues showing elevated fumarole temperatures and seismic activity.
A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck Cuba on June 8, generating over 5,000 felt reports, while volcanic activity continues at multiple sites including Krasheninnikov in Russia and Mount Merapi in Indonesia. Kīlauea's summit eruption remains paused as of mid-June, though robust degassing persists at both vents.
A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck near the Philippines on June 8, while Sakurajima in Japan produced a major eruption causing widespread ashfall and tourism disruptions. Multiple volcanic systems including Mayon and Pelee remain active with ongoing seismic unrest.
