Map of today's active volcanoesEtna (Sicily, Italy): Explosive activity continues. The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Toulouse warned of a volcanic ash plume rising to an estimated 12000 ft (3700 m), or flight level 120, and moving at 10 kts in SE direction.Original VAAC bulletin: ash plume to 12,000 ft (3,700 m) as of Aug 12, 16:00 UTC...12 Aug:As of 12 Aug 2026 morning, the volcano's activity - both lava effusion and ash emissions - has decreased significantly, although tremor remains high, indicating still ongoing activity.The latest bulletin from the volcano observatory (the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Etnean Observatory, INGV) published yesterday afternoon mentioned that video surveillance images and on-site inspections by INGV personnel indicated that effusive activity continued from the eruptive vents at 2,750 m, ...

The most advanced active lava flow fronts were located at an altitude of 1,360 m, near Rocca Capra (Valle del Bove).At 14:10 UTC (16:10 local time), an impulsive ash emission was observed from the Bocca Nuova crater, interacting with the products of explosive activity from the Voragine crater, generating modest pyroclastic flows confined to the summit area....12 Aug:The latest satellite imagery from 11 August shows all lava flow branches emanating from fissure vents on the eastern flank - two recent vents opened in the Valle del Bove yesterday to the north and west of the Monte Simone cinder cone.The eruptive vents from the previous effusive period are also visible in the image at elevations of approximately 2,750 and 2,360 meters, respectively.Strong thermal anomalies are present in the Northeast crater and Voragine crater as well, accompanied by copious ash emissions.Mayon (Luzon Island, Philippines): The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Tokyo issued the following bulletin.Original VAAC bulletin: ERUPTION AT 20260812/1003Z FL100 EXTD ENE REPORTED OBS VA DTG:12/1010ZIbu (Halmahera, Indonesia): The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin issued the following bulletin.Original VAAC bulletin: VA ERUPTION TO FL070 LAST REPORTED AT 12/1325Z MOV NELewotobi (Flores): Explosive activity continues.
