Intense paroxysms at Anak Krakatau volcano, Indonesia
The Anak Krakatau #volcano, located in Indonesia's Sunda Strait, has resumed its explosive activity, exhibiting a series of short-lived lava-fountaining episodes known as paroxysms last night. The eruptions lasted up to 150 seconds while ash was reaching 2 100 m (7 000 feet) above sea level.

Death toll rises to 23 after sudden eruption at Marapi volcano, Indonesia
A major eruption at Mount Marapi in Indonesia on Sunday, December 3, 2023, has led to a confirmed death toll of 23. Rescuers, facing challenging conditions, found additional bodies near the eruption site. The #volcano, remaining on high alert since 2011, unexpectedly erupted, impacting climbers and nearby villagers.

#Marapi #volcano: damn. :( Deep condolences to the people who died in today’s unexpected eruption (its largest in its history, according to #GeologyHub).
While many eruptions can be predicted based on specific types of earthquakes and gas emissions, sometimes magma and underground water reservoirs meet, which makes the water flash to steam and causes an explosion, which triggers an eruption. These are called #phreatic eruptions, and they just flat-out cannot be predicted. :(
From the American Geophysical Union via Phys.org: "Despite the potential for danger, scientists have only scant data regarding where magma is stored beneath the Cascades, knowledge that could help scientists better understand and predict future eruptions, Penny E. Wieser and colleagues report in a recent review published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems." That includes Mt Adams, Baker, Glacier Peak and Hood.

Short update - Mt Etna, Sicily
On 1 December, a new paroxysm occurred at the South East Crater complex of Mount Etna. This began in the late afternoon with an intensification of the stromoblian activity that had been ongoing for around 14 days. This soon turned into the emission of lava fountains up to 400 metres high. The eruption column was driven in a north-easterly direction and caused ash rain down as far as the coast in the Giardini/Naxos area. Lava flows poured through the southern breach of the cone to the west/south-west and through the eastern breach in the direction of Valle del Bove. The explosive activity ceased in the late evening, but lava was still produced for a few hours.
This INGV webcam photo shows the paroxysm at the South East Crater from south eastern direction:

You may have seen how volcano eruptions are depicted in cartoons, with red-hot lava shooting straight up in the sky before cascading down the slopes of the mountain. It’s called volcanic fountaining, and it does occur in real life, as the 2021 eruption of Fagradalsfjall in Iceland displayed. A team of Earth scientists, meteorologists, geologists and volcanologists might have found the answer to why this happens. Phys.org explains: https://flip.it/3yZCSA

My brief visit to #CostaRica, my mother's birthplace, almost 30 years ago, was at the start of the #ecotourism trend described in this article, and was nothing at all like the author's experience.
We stayed in #SanJose, but I did visit the #CloudForest (and a river tour and my then third #volcano, #Arenal). It is a beautiful country.
The #ferns especially struck me as #primeval; I imagined dinosaurs eating or wading through them, they were so massive.

In Iceland, an imminent volcanic eruption is causing concern about the economy.
Earthquakes have already caused major damage in the town of Grindavik, in southwest Iceland. Between inflation and air transport chaos, previous disasters have taken their toll on life on the island.
The NHK is reporting that a substantial volcanic eruption happened in Papua New Guinea happened earlier today. Where is #volcano Mastodon, I need more details! https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20231120_29/
For #FotoMontag and even #MountainsMonday since I saw that passing through the timeline earlier, this is Mount Teide on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Not only is it the highest point of any island in the Atlantic, it's also Spain's highest mountain, and is also a volcano.

They are keenly interested in the recent Iceland volcanic activity (probably won’t impact climate):

They also heard about warming* and Hunga Tonga:

Iceland earthquake: Town evacuated fearing volcanic eruption
According to geology professor Shawn Willsey, in Grindavik today, they detected SO2 - a volcanic gas.
It doesn’t mean the eruption’s imminent, especially since the most violent of the magma intrusive processes (e.g., the earthquakes and ground cracks) along the dike have subsided, so it’s not pushing upward so forcefully. But at this point, it is believed that the magma’s maybe 1/2-mile beneath the surface.

English-language #Iceland #Volcano news feed. This is continuously updated.
The evacuation of Grindavik last night went very well. A magma tunnel has formed under the town. These typically erupt at one or more spots along the tunnel. The timeline could be in hours or days.
Quakes have already caused geological markers to move apart by 1 m or more. Significant damage to roads and buildings.

A lava tunnel now seems to stretch underneath the fishing town of Grindavik and earthquake activity concentrated underneath it (orange spot on lower end of image).
The town was fully evacuated during the night.
This is starting to feel uncomfortably like that Tommy Lee Jones movie Volcano from 1997.
This site enables you to track quakes as they happen. They're now extremely frequent.
If you've ever been to Iceland, you probably flew into Keflavik; and so, you probably drove through the very dramatic 'bad lava' landscape of Reykjanes. That landscape is dramatically on the move again; the town of Grindavik is being evacuated.
Iceland is a bit shaky today...
More #Iceland #volcano updates:
🙂 Both #Grindavik and the #Svartsengi Power Station have been evacuated successfully.
😞 One of the roads between #Reykjavik and #Keflavik International Airport has been damaged badly by the seismic activity, so traffic’s being redirected onto side roads. If you’re catching a flight out of #KEF, give yourself a lot of time to get to the airport.

Iceland is amazing. It exists as a result of a #FloodBasalt (a place where a bunch of magma emerges and spreads out) caused by the diverging tectonic plates at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Not necessarily in a fully quiescent way, but not in the same explosive nature as subduction-zone stratovolcanoes.
I haven’t been there but it’s at the top of my wishlist. It’s #volcano heaven…except when it threatens people’s livelihoods like this.
