Map of today’s active volcanoes

Reykjanes (Reykjanes peninsula (SW Iceland)): (3 Jun) The effusive eruption at the site continues at stable levels.
Two main cinder cones dominate the activity.

Fresh and molten pyroclasts have been continuing to eject from edifices, resulting from continuous spattering.

Canlaon (Central Philippines): Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Darwin (VAAC) issued the following report: UNKNOWN OBS VA DTG:03/1720Z
…3 Jun:
The volcano entered a new eruptive phase today.
At about 18:51 local time today, an increasingly spectacular grey-to-black dense ash plume could be seen rising from the volcano’s summit crater. Ash emissions rose to estimated 5,000 m above the vent.

The explosion generated dilute pyroclastic flows caused by a collapse of either the eruption column and/or crater rim or both phenomenons.
Pumice-and-ash flows traveled of at least 2-3 km from atop the summit racing over the south and southeastern flank, detecting in the thermal and IP camera. The event lasted about 6 minutes.

Lewotobi (Flores): Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Darwin (VAAC) issued the following report: VONA STATE ERUPTION TO FL070 AT 03/0725Z.

Semeru (East Java, Indonesia): Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Darwin (VAAC) issued the following report: VONA STATE ERUPTION TO FL150 AT 02/2318Z EST VA DTG:03/1130Z

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 .
The full report is as follows: VA TO FL080 OBS AT 03/0230Z MOV N EST VA DTG:03/1650Z to 8000 ft (2400 m)

Kilauea (Hawai’i): The USGS HVO issued a map showing the location of the ongoing effusive eruption at Kilauea volcano.
Magma arrived at the surface at about 12:30 AM local time tonight, south of Kilauea’s caldera and north of the Southwest Rift connector.
…3 Jun:
A new eruption started at the volcano shortly after midnight.
At about 12:30 AM local time, magma propagated across the rift zone area, located about 1-2 km south south of Kilauea’s caldera and north of the Koa’e fault system and Hilina Pali Road.

An orange-glowing steam rising from the eruption site suggests a continued rise of a new batch of magma onto the surface.
Therefore, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory raised the alert level for the volcano to Red.

…3 Jun:
Following the increased seismic unrest at the volcano recently, the activity has slightly decreased at 10:30 PM local time today, but remains elevated.
Currently, it is uncertain whether this activity will lead to an eruption or remain underground as an intrusion.

Approximately 250 earthquakes have occurred beneath the volcano’s summit region over the past eight hours. Some events have also taken place beneath the upper East Rift Zone, particularly in the last two hours.
The largest earthquakes were a magnitude M 4.1 at 9:12 PM and a magnitude M 4.0 at 7:07 PM. There have been 12 events ranging from M3 to M4, 145 events from M2 to M3, 58 events from M1 to M2, and numerous events below M1. Most of these earthquakes have occurred at depths of 2-3 km (1.2-1.8 miles) beneath the surface, with several slightly shallower at about 1.5 km (1 mile) deep. These earthquakes have been widely felt in the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and surrounding communities, triggering many rockfalls. The increased seismic activity has been accompanied by elevated rates and changing patterns of the ground deformation.

…3 Jun:
An increased seismic activity and ground deformation at Kīlauea’s summit began around 12:00 PM local time today, indicating possible magma movement underground.
The earthquake swarm and ground deformation increased after 5:00 PM local time. While it is uncertain if this activity will lead to an eruption, it is a potential outcome, though the activity might remain underground. An eruption in Kīlauea’s summit region within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park is one possible scenario.

Hence, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) is raising the alert level for the volcano to Orange.
