Map of today’s active volcanoes

Etna (Sicily, Italy): The weak eruptive activity from the Voragine crater vent persists.
A vivid glow from the webcam indicates highly likely the ongoing spattering from the crater. Moreover, the recent Sentinel-2 satellite image acquisition of the volcano from the 20 June captured the strong thermal anomaly in the Central crater complex in the Voragine crater and even in the Bocca Nuova crater.

Karymsky (Kamchatka): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Tokyo warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 12000 ft (3700 m) altitude or flight level 120 and is moving at 20 kts in W direction.
The full report is as follows: VA CONTINUOUSLY OBS IN SATELLITE IMAGERY OBS VA DTG:21/1720Z to 12000 ft (3700 m)

Ibu (Halmahera, Indonesia): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 6000 ft (1800 m) altitude or flight level 060 .
The full report is as follows: VA TO FL060 LAST REPORTED AT 21/1358Z OBS VA DTG:21/2000Z to 6000 ft (1800 m)
…21 Jun:
Based on visual and instrumental monitoring results showing a decrease in the activity of the volcano, the alert level has been lowered from Level IV (AWAS) to Level III (SIAGA) today.
Since 15 June, there has been a decrease in the number of recorded earthquakes and the height of the eruption column. Eruption events accompanied by ejections of incandescent lava are also decreasing, with the distance of the ejections shortening to within a 1 km radius from the crater rim.

Lewotobi (Flores): The elevated explosive activity from the volcano continues.
At about 16:21 local time today, an increasingly spectacular dense ash plume was seen rising from the crater. Ash emissions reached up to estimated 7,900 ft (2384 m) height that drifted west-southwest.

Semeru (East Java, Indonesia): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 15000 ft (4600 m) altitude or flight level 150 and is moving at 05 kts in SW direction.
The full report is as follows: VA TO FL150 LAST REPORTED AT 21/0935Z EST VA DTG:21/1220Z to 15000 ft (4600 m)

Dukono (Halmahera): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 8000 ft (2400 m) altitude or flight level 080 and is moving at 10 kts in W direction.
The full report is as follows: CONTINUOUS VA TO FL080 OBS AT 21/1620Z MOV W to 8000 ft (2400 m)

Home Reef (Tonga Islands): The effusive eruption of the volcano continues.
The lava flow continues to feed the new pancake-like lava delta on the east, enlarging the island’s size, as detected in the latest satellite Sentinel-2 imagery from 20 June.
Strong steam-lade plumes have been emitting in the northern direction.

Fuego (Guatemala): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 15000 ft (4600 m) altitude or flight level 150 .
The full report is as follows: VA EMS REMAIN PSBL to 15000 ft (4600 m)

Nevado del Ruiz (Colombia): (21 Jun) Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 19000 ft (5800 m) altitude or flight level 190 .
The full report is as follows: VONA RPRT RCVD to 19000 ft (5800 m)

Reventador (Ecuador): (21 Jun) Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Washington (VAAC) issued the following report: POSS VA EMS

Sabancaya (Peru): Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Buenos Aires (VAAC) issued the following report: UNABLE TO DETECT
