That is SAKURAJIMA

My post just before yours gives a link that will give you some idea of its location.

And here's a page that can give you some history.

Volcano going off in Equator. It's spewing ash at the moment. Everything is being put into lockdown mode...

It's the Tungurahua Volcano...

Thanks, I will have to take at
look at what they say about
this volcano, not familiar.

Seoul on Thursday proposed holding an expert-level forum with North Korea next month on potential volcanic activity on Mt. Baekdu in the North. The proposal, made by a South Korean geologist involved in the talks, suggested the two sides meet May 11-13 in either Pyongyang or Seoul, the Ministry of Unification said in a statement.

Seems like the last talks were postponed.

Ecuador volcano hurls truck-sized boulders more than mile, forcing 300 people to evacuate

QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuador’s Tungurahua volcano hurled truck-sized pyroclastic boulders more than a mile Friday in a powerful eruption that prompted at least 300 people to flee their homes, authorities said.

Schools were closed for a third straight day as ash showered down on a dozen towns in the sparsely populated area surrounding the 16,480-foot (5,023-meter) volcano.

Thundering explosions could be heard miles from Tungurahua, which is on the Andes cordillera 84 miles (135 kilometers) southeast of Ecuador’s capital, Quito.

Not to forget the massive fish and bird deaths earlier this year and maybe more to come? I also been reading up on other weather changes such as unusual cyclones and floods, droughts here and there, fire in some area's. Just a month ago I didn't know all these things were happening, too engulfed in work/studies, few around me seem to be aware all of this is happening.

(edit) didn't see this link in the OP, might be useful, showing volcano activity worldwide:

Another Super Volcano has just been reported going active. This particular Super Volcano hasn't been active for the last 1.12 million years. That means that out of the top sixteen Super Volcanos being monitored, five have gone active in this year alone. There is no doubt about it... something is going on!

i personally wouldnt worry about an eruption there ever its thought of as dead.

I notice there's a wee uptick in quake activity around Etna... it's in an active phase at the moment so perhaps another eruption imminent?

You beat me to it Moorf.

Also, Gamkonora Volcano, Indonesia went up to level 2 on the 3rd. We've all been a bit too busy lately with quakes to notice the volcanics.

A little display to liven things up a bit.

Not too sure how much damage will be done, but you never can tell.

From your link:

It took until now for scientists to produce good enough computer models to pierce though this interference and spot the additional effect of the magma ocean.

That about says it all really. We know all about computer models don't we. We suffer the carbon taxes because of them. About the only plausible bit of the article was the heat induced by Jupiter element. All the rest, depths etc is just pure supposition made out as usual to sound like 'facts'.

You can translate the statement 'It took until now for scientists to produce good enough computer models' as, 'it has taken until now to find out which parameters in the model to tweak to make it say what we think it should say'.

Yet another case of "Men in white coats making guesses."

A little swarm at Katla...

I hope Katla never goes off, otherwise we are screwed.

It is spring, that time of year when global warming climate change climate challenge weather patterns bring warmer air to Iceland and melt the icecaps a little, and then they get lighter and the ground goes "phew!" and has a few little quakes to celebrate.

KUMAMOTO — The Meteorological Agency on Monday raised the volcanic alert level for Mount Aso from 1 to 2, prompting local authorities in Kumamoto Prefecture to ban entry to areas within 1 km of the crater of Mount Naka, one of five peaks in the active volcano's central cone group.

Japan Times

Alert level 1 remains at Bulusan Volcano in Sorsogon after state volcanologists noted a significant rise in seismic activity in the area, recording 144 volcanic quakes there in the last 24 hours. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said 80 of these quakes were recorded in a seven-hour period on Monday, from 5:00 a.m. to noon.
