A recent study using satellite radar data detected ground uplift at Iran's Taftan volcano, indicating pressure buildup that could precede an eruption, prompting the need for increased monitoring and preparedness, though no eruption is imminent.
A year after a rare episodic lava fountaining eruption began at Kīlauea's summit on December 23, 2024, the volcano has hosted 38 eruptive episodes, significantly reshaping the landscape with spectacular lava fountains and new geological features, while remaining monitored and visible from various vantage points.
The summit eruption of Kīlauea remains paused with a potential eruption expected between December 22 and 27. Gas emissions are elevated, and summit inflation continues, indicating possible upcoming activity, though visibility is currently low due to weather or vog.
The Kīlauea volcano on Hawaiʻi is currently paused but is expected to erupt again between December 22 and 27, with ongoing monitoring indicating a new episode of high lava fountains. The volcano has been erupting episodically since December 23, 2024, with the next episode likely to occur within the forecast window, although the timing may shift based on inflation rates.
Recent satellite observations reveal subtle signs of swelling at Mount Taftan, a dormant volcano in Iran, indicating potential magmatic activity and raising concerns about an imminent eruption, prompting calls for increased monitoring and reassessment of regional volcanic hazards.
Scientists have observed signs of unrest at Iran's Taftan volcano, dormant for 700,000 years, indicating a potential imminent eruption due to recent uplift and magma movement, highlighting the need for improved monitoring in the region.
Researchers analyzing Antarctic ice cores suggest that a 1458/59 volcanic eruption was caused by two simultaneous eruptions from Kuwae in Vanuatu and an undocumented Southern Hemisphere volcano, which may explain the decade-long cooling in the 15th century.
After millions of years of dormancy, the Taftan volcano in Iran shows signs of unrest, with satellite data revealing a swelling summit, indicating increased magma pressure. While not imminent for eruption, this activity suggests the volcano is more active than previously thought, prompting calls for enhanced monitoring and hazard assessment.
A volcano in Iran, Taftan, thought to be extinct for over 700,000 years, shows signs of awakening with ground uplift and gas emissions, prompting calls for closer monitoring but no immediate danger.
Italy's Campi Flegrei super volcano near Naples is showing signs of increased activity after centuries of dormancy, raising concerns about a potential eruption that could have significant regional impacts.
A wind-driven event stirred up old ash deposits at Mount St. Helens, creating a plume that resembled an eruption but was harmless, with no signs of renewed volcanic activity.
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted again, shooting lava 500 feet into the air and producing significant volcanic activity, including fountains and lava flows, while releasing large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas, with no injuries reported.
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted on August 22, 2025, marking its 31st eruption since December 2024, with lava fountains reaching 100 feet, attracting tourists and scientists alike, while also holding cultural significance for the Hawaiian community. The eruption continues to be closely monitored, with its behavior still unpredictable, and it has increased tourism but also posed safety risks.
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has erupted for the 31st time since December, with lava fountains reaching up to 100 feet, contained within the summit crater, and no threat to homes. The eruption follows a pattern of repeated episodes, with scientists uncertain of its future course, and it has increased park visitation and cultural significance for Native Hawaiians.
Scientists warn that the Axial Seamount, an active underwater volcano near the US coast, is on the verge of erupting after experiencing 2,000 earthquakes in a day, with predictions suggesting an eruption could occur by the end of 2025, potentially impacting marine ecosystems but limited threat to human life.
