Shiveluch (Kamchatka): (14 Mar) Another major explosion occurred from the volcano on 13 March. An abundant ash plume reached approx. 26,000 ft (8,000 m) altitude and drifted to the northeast toward the Bering Sea.
TODAY, Sheveluch Volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula has erupted, sending a massive ash plume about 8,000 meters into the sky. This is one of the largest volcanoes in Kamchatka and is currently showing increased activity. The volcano’s age is estimated to be 60,000 to 70,000… pic.twitter.com/koKxps4A5d

Piton de la Fournaise (La Réunion): (14 Mar) The effusive eruption of the volcano continues. The advancing lava flow on the eastern flank continues to emerge from the cinder cone and is rapidly reaching the shoreline. The lava is currently about 310 meters from entering the sea. Once the lava interacts with water, it does so explosively, forming abundant steam-gas emissions, so-called laze (lava haze).
