Map of today's active volcanoesEtna (Sicily, Italy): The volcano's becoming more and more restless over the past several days, both internally and externally. Weak ash emissions have been occurring from the Northeast Crater although these likely represent older pulverized rocks and not fresh magma near the surface. The activity prompted the volcano observatory in Catania (INGV) to issue a volcanic ash warning for aviation, raising the alert level to orange yesterday (3 Nov 2026).More notably, seismic activity has been on the rise lately, and suggest that something is likely about to change in the near future. Volcanic tremor continues to undergo fluctuations, but along a gradual rising trend overall, and is now near high levels. Recent monitoring data reveal an interesting shift in the location of the sources of the volcanic tremor sources towards the Southeast Crater and the Valle del Bove. In addition, there have been several deep earthquakes under the volcano's western flank in the area of Bronte. ... [read more] ... [show less] Volcanic tremor shifts to the South East crater and Valle del BoveAccording to the latest weekly monitoring report (INGV, 3 Nov 2026), volcanic tremor fluctuated significantly during the observation period from 26 October to 1 November. A particularly notable increase began at approximately 22:00 UTC on 31 October, when tremor amplitude rose rapidly from low to moderate levels. It continued increasing during the following hours, approaching the threshold of high values at around 16:20 UTC on 1 November. Tremor then gradually decreased again.Campi Flegrei (Phlegrean Fields) (Italy): The Campi Flegrei volcanic caldera near Naples continues to show signs of unrest, with ongoing ground uplift, frequent small earthquakes and elevated gas emissions. According to the latest INGV weekly report, 64 earthquakes were recorded between 26 October and 1 November, while the ground continues to rise at approximately 1 cm per month. Meanwhile, volcanic CO₂ emissions are causing serious problems for local infrastructure: a railway tunnel connecting Naples with Pozzuoli remains closed because of hazardous gas concentrations, with no reopening date in sight.Two earthquake swarms near Pozzuoli and Solfatara ...

Of the 64 earthquakes detected, 42 events with magnitudes of 0.0 or greater were located by the monitoring network. The strongest reached a magnitude of 2.4 (±0.3).Fourteen earthquakes occurred during two distinct seismic swarms. The first began at 10:39 UTC on 26 October southwest of the Solfatara crater. It consisted of four earthquakes with magnitudes between 0.0 and 2.2. The second swarm started at 16:30 UTC on 27 October in the Pozzuoli area and included ten earthquakes, with the strongest reaching magnitude 2.4.Sheveluch (Kamchatka): (4 Nov) Explosive activity continues.
