Shinmoedake in kyushu island in Japan is erupting. Here is a nice recent image livedoor.2.blogimg.jp...

This is the same one people talked about on the page 3 (kirishima eruption) ^^ .. just add some more details

Article in japanese: www.yomiuri.co.jp...

The eruption started at a small scale 19th January, and then 3.41pm at 27th had an explosive eruption and turned into a mid-scale eruption with a lot of smoke. The smoke has reached to 3000 meters height. Volcanic ash has reached around 7000 hectares ruining agricultural land, and about 5cm diameter stones have landed 5km from the volcano breaking windows from cars and office buildings. Last time Shinmoedake erupted 52 years ago.

Holy smokes!
More mayhem to come I'm sure.
I've been remiss in my volcano watch duties.
"Good looking out".

Any updates? I've been away for a few hours.

Tengger Caldera, Java

A fiery volcano is causing holiday misery for hundreds of Australians with airlines cancelling flights as a large ash cloud floats in the skies above Indonesia.
In echoes of last year's Icelandic volcano chaos, the eruption of 2329-metre-high Tengger Caldera, in east Java, led to the cancellation of about a dozen flights and left passengers stranded last night.

We got that news last night. Notice it's just Jetstar & Virgin Blue? (Jetstar always has an excuse for running late) Garuda and Air Asia are still flying over there. Son over there reports clear skies but he's over the eastern side between two volcanoes. So maybe it hasn't reached that far yet. Bromo did this last year too for a day or two so let's hope it settles down again.

Undoubtedly. There are between 50 and 70 eruptions a year of all sorts, including the 16 continuous eruptions. That means there is the potential for one a week or so.

Before the Internet and Twitter we probably would have only heard of one or two of these.

Explosions heard from Eyjafjallajökull volcano

This time around, it appears my break is going to a shorter then I planned. According to the newspaper named DV (a short of tabloid in Iceland) there have been a lot of explosion heard from Eyjafjallajökull volcano. According to the news this started around 19:00 UTC, when exactly is unclear at present time.

This was reported by a local farmer in the area. But according to Icelandic Met Office and the University of Iceland nothing special has appears on seismometers around Eyjafjallajökull volcano. But it is good to know that in the first eruption in Eyjafjallajökull volcano on Fimmvörðuháls it took few hours for the harmonic tremor to appear following that eruption. For now all that can be done is to wait and see what happens next. This might be a start of a new eruption, or this simply might be nothing for the moment.

Sorry for the late reply, but this was actually just some construction close to where the farmer was and they were using explosives. Never trust the Newspaper source DV unless it´s confirmed by some other media. It´s a kind of action tabloid,, says more then it really should

Violent Seismic Activity Tearing Africa in Two

Never mind the scaremongering title from this wonderful warmist German paper - one thing they are good at is photographs.

These are just FANTASTIC!

Good point. I had forgotten that one.

Ah well at least I did not make a thread of it!

Stunning footage from Sakurajima and Kirishima

The earth's Northernmost volcano is shaking quite a bit.

Beerenberg on Jan Mayen last erupted in the mid eighties. There's a webcam, currently just showing arctic night, some snow, and a couple of lights.

The USGS map is showing a 4.8 and 6.1, but will probably not show anything under 4.5 because it's not occurring in a contributing agency country. Beerenberg isn't big enough to do much more than put on a good show.

Great vids there BG, especially the shock waves before the ash coing out of Sakurajima

Jan Mayen is a volcanic island of norwegian dominion, located in the north atlantic ocean, 950km west of Norway.

There's no active volcanos on the Norwegian mainland (Not to my knowledge)

close enough and norway owns it .

Oof, look at the Jan Mayen webicorder now:

Long period action. If it's not building up to something it's at least got a serious case of indigestion.

Wind! Not indigestion. There is a big depression around these parts, and that's only the weather.
