Hawaii’s Kīlauea Eruption Blasts Fountain Over 1,000 Feet in Wild Timelapse
A new timelapse video captures dramatic lava fountaining during Episode 24 of Kīlauea’s ongoing summit eruption. The main fountain surged from the north vent, reaching heights over 300 meters (1,000 feet) and spilling lava southwest toward closed areas of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. The footage, released by the U.S. Geological Survey, highlights the eruption’s growing […]
Mount Etna Erupts Sending Massive Ash Clouds Over Sicily
Italy’s Mount Etna erupted on this morning, sending large plumes of ash and smoke into the sky over Sicily. The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology reported a series of explosions, with a pyroclastic flow moving down the volcano’s southeastern edge. While the eruption caused minimal disruption and no immediate danger, it led to a […]
Hawaii Volcano Eruption Sends Lava Fountains Soaring 1,000 Feet
Lava fountains at Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano soared over 1,000 feet during a dramatic eruption captured by the U.S. Geological Survey. Episode 23 of the ongoing summit eruption saw both the north and south vents in Halemaʻumaʻu crater erupting simultaneously. A massive ash plume, filled with tephra including Pele’s hair and scoria, rose at least 5,000 […]
Monster Volcano Lurking Off U.S. Coast Could Erupt Any Day
A massive volcano is silently building pressure beneath the Pacific—and could blow at any moment. The Axial Seamount, located 300 miles off Oregon’s coast and nearly a mile underwater, has swelled to the same level seen before its last eruption in 2015. That event triggered 8,000 earthquakes and sent lava flows surging across the seafloor. […]
Is the ‘Zombie’ Volcano About to Come Back to Life? Scientists Reveal Shocking New Findings
Scientists have unlocked the eerie mystery behind Bolivia’s so-called ‘zombie’ volcano, which appears to be rising from the dead despite 250,000 years of silence. Using seismic imaging, rock analysis, and advanced modelling, researchers from China, the UK, and the US discovered that fluid and gas movements—not magma—are driving the volcano’s strange, restless behaviour. This underground […]
Alaska Volcano Wakes After 30 Years — And a Major City Is in Its Path
A massive volcano in Alaska is showing alarming signs of an imminent eruption, with over 55 earthquakes shaking Mount Spurr in just one week. Experts say the quakes are caused by rising magma cracking the rock beneath the surface, a clear signal that an eruption could be near. The city of Anchorage, home to more […]
Deadly Eruption Rocks Kanlaon Volcano as Ash Clouds Darken Philippines Skies
An explosive eruption is currently occurring at the summit vent of Kanlaon Volcano. The eruption began in the early hours of the morning at 5:51 AM on 8 April 2025 in Philippines. The eruption is producing a voluminous bent plume approximately 4,000 meters tall that is drifting southwest. Pyroclastic density currents or PDCs descended the […]
