Rescue teams on Halmahera Island recovered the bodies of three hikers killed by Mount Dukono’s eruption, with authorities from BASARNAS and the geological agency documenting ongoing volcanic activity.
Mount Dukono in North Maluku, Indonesia, erupted Friday morning, killing three people—including two Singaporeans and one Indonesian—and injuring at least five climbers, as an ash plume rose roughly 10,000 meters; authorities continue search-and-rescue operations and are investigating potential negligence by tour operators, with the volcano at a Level II alert.
The Axial Seamount off Oregon, a well-instrumented submarine volcano, was initially predicted to erupt in 2025, but recent data suggests it may not erupt until 2026 due to slower inflation rates and low seismic activity, highlighting the challenges in accurately forecasting volcanic eruptions.
Skier descends Mount Etna in Sicily as the volcano erupts explosively, spewing ash and lava, despite increased volcanic activity in recent days.
The USGS reports that Kilauea's eruption is approaching its next phase, with lava fountaining expected between September 17 and 20, based on ongoing summit inflation, gas pistoning, and small lava overflows indicating precursory activity for Episode 33.
A rare eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula occurred for the first time in over 400 years, shortly after a massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the region, possibly triggered by seismic waves affecting underground magma systems. The eruption prompted aviation alerts, but the area remains sparsely populated with no immediate threat to people.
A powerful earthquake in Russia's Far East has triggered a series of events including a volcano eruption, with widespread tsunami warnings issued across the Pacific Rim, especially in Chile which has upgraded its warning to the highest level. Additional aftershocks are possible, and authorities are monitoring the situation closely.
Iliamna Volcano in Alaska, dormant since 1867, has shown recent seismic activity likely caused by ice and rock slides, but currently poses no imminent eruption threat, with its threat level at 'Green/Normal'.
