Etna (Sicily, Italy): No significant change has occurred in the explosive activity within Etna’s Voragine crater over the past few days.
The constant spattering from the fissure vent continues to eject hot, juvenile and molten lava clots that, in turn, have piled into a new, steep-sided spatter cone.

Terceira (Terceira Island, Azores): The Institute of Volcanology of the University of the Azores (IVAR) increased the volcanic alert level of Santa Barbara volcano on Terceira Island to V3 on a scale ranging from V0 (green, normal) to V6 (red, erupting). The decision came after a new seismic crisis has been affecting the western part of the island since June 24, 2022, continues, with a current tendency of increasing.
The alert level 3 means that certain geophysical parameters (such as seismicity) are strongly elevated and while it is not thought likely that an eruption might occur in a near future, there is an increased risk of minor steam explosions caused by the shallow hydrothermal system, and of course, the situation can develop further and needs close monitoring.

Ibu (Halmahera, Indonesia): (27 Jun) The volcano’s activity has been characterized by powerful eruptions over the past three months.
This morning at 09:06 local time, yet another impressive column of ash erupted from its cinder cone. The powerful eruption triggered a 4 km (13,100 ft) high ash plume, spewing ash emissions up to 5,3 km (17,400 ft) altitude in the north-northwestern direction.

Erta Ale (Danakil depression, Ethiopia): (27 Jun) A new lava effusion phase began at the volcano.
Following another shifting flux of magma, the lava resumed in the northern pit crater’s hornito recently, generating the lava overflow to the south-southwest of the main lava source. The lava continues to spill out towards the southwestern crater rim, currently approx. 240 meters long.
