Marapi (Western Sumatra, Indonesia): The eruptive activity of the volcano continues.
Near-frequent and sporadic strong vulcanian-type explosions occur from its summit crater. At about 13:00 local time, an increasingly spectacular dense ash plume was seen rising from the crater. A height of the ash plume is unknown so far, and was not reported neither the VAAC Darwin nor the PVMBG volcano observatory.

White Island (New Zealand): (13 Feb) Recent gas flight observations from 7 February show continuing steam and gas plumes emitting from active fumaroles on the west-southwest short of the main lake.
Weekly discharge rates continue at elevated levels comparable to late 2023 observations, but it is not considered to be significant and remain at low-to-moderate values. When atmospheric conditions allow, steam and gas emissions could be seen rising above the island in the webcam. Based on recent observations, there has been no evidence of eruptive activity over the past few months. About gas temperature, a slight decline has been recorded throughout the last year, however, a modest increase to 120 ºC was recorded.

Gareloi (United States, Aleutian Islands): (13 Feb) The alert status for the volcano was raised to „yellow“, as an elevated seismic activity beneath the edifice has been detected since 09:15 local time today.
So far, no significant changes neither in satellite data or webcams have been identified. The volcano continuously vents gases from fumarole fields within the southern crater.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) added: „These observations suggest the presence of shallow magma and potential interaction with a hydrothermal system. The current increase in seismicity likely reflects a change to the magmatic-hydrothermal system, but it is not clear that the likelihood of a volcanic eruption has increased. AVO will continue to monitor activity to determine if the recent changes are related to influx of new magma or other changes to the magma system.“
