THE continuous emission of sulfur dioxide, forming a volcanic smog (vog), from Taal Volcano is not an indication of its possible eruption, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) director Teresito Bacolcol said Tuesday.

According to Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, it is unlikely that the recent eruption will resume based on the behavior of past, short-lived summit fissure eruptions at Kīlauea summit in 1982, 1975, 1974, and 1971, which all ended abruptly.

The Big Island eco-tour company based in Volcano, offers a once-in-a-lifetime guided interpretive adventure — lava or not — to past and present eruptive activity of Kīlauea volcano and the greatest attractions at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, focusing on the volcano’s summit region and including discussions about endemic species and the Hawaiian culture.

In Big Island Now’s latest poll, we wanted to know if anyone made the trip out to the fiery summit.

At least 5,000 visitors — and likely sometimes more — came each day of the eruption to see the volcanic activity from Sept. 10-16.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says the Sept. 10 Kīlauea summit eruption stopped on Saturday and is unlikely to restart.

One of Indonesias most active volcanoes, Mount Merapi, erupted on Friday, September 15, spewing incandescent lava up to 1,500 meters three times.

Kīlauea eruptions in 2020–2021, 2021–2022, January–March 2023, and June 2023 started and remained within Halemaʻumaʻu crater, The newest eruption that began Sunday, September 10, also started as a lava fountain bursting from within Halemaʻumaʻu.

The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island began to erupt on Sunday afternoon, with flows currently confined to the surrounding crater floor, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said on Sunday.

Stromboli, located in Sicily's Aeolian Islands, is one of the most famous volcanoes in the world, attracting tourists for its pristine black sand beaches. Yet due to its characteristics, including its uniquely consistent and predictable eruptions, it has also become an international reference point in the study of explosive dynamics.
