Etna (Sicily, Italy): The volcano’s New SE crater has become more and more active over the past few days, and started to show weak strombolian activity of varying intensity since yesterday morning. This activity produces occasional ash emissions which are rapidly dispersed in the summit area.
Over the past days, volcanic tremor amplitude has been showing continuous oscillations, with an overall gradually increasing trend, reaching high values during the past 24 hours. According to the volcano observatory, the source of the tremor – corresponding to the area of magma movement – is located under the SE Crater area at an elevation of 2800-2900 m above sea level, or 300-400 m below the crater rims.

Karymsky (Kamchatka): (9 Jun) Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Tokyo (VAAC) issued the following report: VA IS NOT IDENTIFIABLE IN SATELLITE IMAGERY.
Asama (Honshu): The activity of the volcano continues to be elevated since 15 March as the increase of seismic activity and slight inflation have been recorded.
Continuing gas-steam emissions were observed by surveillance cameras starting about 18:22 local time today as can be visible in the attached video below. This may indicates elevated fluid movements of gas, water and possibly rising magma under the surface, typical signs for an upcoming eruption.

Great Sitkin (United States, Aleutian Islands): (8 Jun) An aerial imagery of the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) from 30 May confirmed a lahar (mud flow) which traveled from the summit crater. The lahar likely formed as a lava flow melted snow and caused this volcanic mud flow.
Fresh ash deposits on the right snow covered flank are visible in the attached image as pyroclastic flows were triggered by the latest explosion on 25 May.
