Naples-area Campi Flegrei Near Breakpoint, Eruption Possible Within a Decade

Campi Flegrei, the volcanic caldera west of Naples, is accelerating toward a breaking point, with a new study suggesting the system could transition within the next decade. The outcome is uncertain: it could trigger an eruption or another change in the volcano's internal plumbing. About 500,000 people live in the area, so researchers plan ongoing forecasts to support emergency planning, but no date or size of an eruption can be determined from the current data.

Hikers killed as restricted Mount Dukono erupts during online-content climb

Mount Dukono on Halmahera island erupted Friday, sending an ash plume high into the sky in a zone officials had restricted due to high alert. About 20 climbers went up the volcano to film online content despite warnings; three people were killed and five injured as rescue efforts faced ongoing eruptions and rough terrain. By Friday afternoon, 17 climbers had been evacuated, including seven Singaporeans and two Indonesians who aided the operation; police say the climbers knew the mountain was restricted but proceeded anyway and will question those who joined the ascent.

Tonga Eruption Cooled the Stratosphere and Redrew How We Read the Sky

The January 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption sent roughly 146 teragrams of seawater vapor into the stratosphere, cooling that atmospheric layer by about 0.5–1°C rather than warming it, and leaving no clear imprint on global surface temperatures in 2023–2024. The eruption's depth (about 490 feet below sea level) let magma vaporize seawater and fuel the plume, which reached the mesosphere and generated planetary-scale pressure waves and a Mediterranean meteo-tsunami. The event injected more water vapor than any prior eruption and, because the moisture persists, it is expected to influence atmospheric chemistry into the late 2020s, reshaping how scientists model volcanic impacts on the climate.

Kīlauea Volcano Nears One Year of Eruption, USGS Warns of Possible Next Week Blow

The Kīlauea volcano on Hawaiʻi is currently paused but is expected to erupt again between December 22 and 27, with ongoing monitoring indicating a new episode of high lava fountains. The volcano has been erupting episodically since December 23, 2024, with the next episode likely to occur within the forecast window, although the timing may shift based on inflation rates.

Dual 15th-Century Antarctic Volcanoes May Have Triggered Climate Cooling

Researchers analyzing Antarctic ice cores suggest that a 1458/59 volcanic eruption was caused by two simultaneous eruptions from Kuwae in Vanuatu and an undocumented Southern Hemisphere volcano, which may explain the decade-long cooling in the 15th century.
