Map of today's active volcanoesStromboli (Eolian Islands, Italy): (30 Jul) INGV’s weekly Stromboli bulletin reports ordinary Strombolian activity at both crater areas during 20–26 July 2026. Explosions occurred from both the North and the Central-South crater area, and were sometimes associated with spattering in the North crater area. The overall explosive activity combining both crater areas was at a medium-high level. The North crater area produced mainly coarse material with medium explosion frequency and mostly high intensity, while the Central-South crater area showed medium-low frequency and generally medium-low intensity in the detailed camera analysis. Seismic and deformation parameters showed no significant changes; soil CO2 degassing remained elevated to high, and satellite thermal anomalies were mostly low.Etna (Sicily, Italy): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Toulouse warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 23000 ft (7000 m) altitude or flight level 230 and is moving at 10 kts in SW direction.The full report is as follows: ERUPTION AT 20260730/1732Z ERUPTION ONGOING, ASH CLOUD UP TO 7 KM to 23000 ft (7000 m)...30 Jul:A second paroxysmal phase of lava fountaining and ash emission has started in the afternoon and is currently producing a tall ash plume reaching about 7 km altitude.This follows the similar event early this morning, which ended around 10.30 local time. Soon afterwards, volcanic activity resumed with smaller explosions that gradually increased over the day until a new phase of fountaining set in about an hour ago.The intensity of activity can be compared with the amplitude of volcanic tremor (attached image)....30 Jul:In the morning of 30 July 2026, a paroxysm - a particularly strong eruptive phase characterized by sustained lava fountains - occurred from the central crater, known as Voragine. Intermittent, weak strombolian activity had probably started last night already and continued until it began to quickly increase at around 3.30 am local time early this morning.Accompanied by a characteristic peak of volcanic tremor reaching a high level plateau for several hours, the distinct strombolian explosions merged into lava fountains that generated a plume several kilometers height. Activity declined rapidly by around 10.30 local time. Easterly winds drifted the ash plume over the western side of Etna where heavy lapilli and ash fall was observed. ... [read more] ... [show less] Update: Here's the report of the volcano observatory (INGV Catania):The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Etnean Observatory, reported that, through analysis of images from the OE's network of cameras, a small pyroclastic flow was observed from the Voragine crater at 09:59 local time, which moved toward the desert-like Valle del Bove. Strombolian activity from the Voragine crater, which began at approximately 03:30 local time, gradually intensified throughout the morning, evolving into very sustained Strombolian activity and a lava fountain. Starting at 09:00 a.m., ash emission increased significantly, fueling a cloud that reached a height of approximately 7 kilometers above sea level and is spreading toward the western quadrant of the volcano. INGV field personnel have reported ash fallout over the town of Bronte. Since approximately 10:30, Strombolian activity has gradually decreased and is currently very modest, while intense ash emission remains.Sheveluch (Kamchatka): Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Anchorage (VAAC) issued the following report: RESIDUAL VA CONTINUOUSLY OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY.Sakurajima (Kyushu, Japan): Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Tokyo (VAAC) issued the following report: ERUPTED AT 20260730/1731Z FL090 EXTD E OBS VA DTG:30/1740ZIbu (Halmahera, Indonesia): Explosive activity continues.
