Volcanic Eruption In Germany - It's Boiling! Scientists Sure: "It Will Break Out One Hundred Percent"!
October 15, 2021While the world looks spellbound on the pictures of the volcanic eruption of the volcano "Cumbre Vieja" on the Canary Island of La Palma, a German volcano fills quietly with magma. The scientists of the Seismological Service Southwest are agreed that there will soon be a volcanic eruption in Germany as well.
Signs of volcanic eruption are increasing
According to the scientists, the affected region is under the Laacher See in the Eifel. For years, researchers have been observing geological processes there that indicate increased volcanic activity. Apparently the reservoirs under the lake are already filling with magma. In the opinion of the scientists, an early outbreak is only a matter of time.
Boiling water and smaller earthquakes have already been observed. Both signs are considered to be indicative of the movement of magma underground. These quakes are also known as DLF earthquakes. They take place in the upper part of the earth's mantle and have low oscillation frequencies.
Experts are certain: the volcano in the Eifel will erupt
Regarding the current situation at the Laacher See, a scientist says: “DLF earthquakes are regarded worldwide as an indication of the movement of magmatic fluids at great depths. Such earthquakes can be regularly observed under active volcanoes, for example in Iceland, Japan or Kamchatka. ”In addition, the Bonn geology professor Ulrich Schreiber is certain that the volcano in Germany is guaranteed to erupt again. Schreiber confirmed this to the daily “Express”: “At some point there will definitely be another outbreak. However, it is unlikely that it could start tomorrow ”. The last eruption on Laacher See took place a good 13,000 years ago.

But these articles always pop up in Germany
as soon there is a dramatic eruption going on in the world, such as Iceland earlier and now on La Palma... I guess the German media is "proud" of their little Eifel Volcanic area, the closest thing they can come up with, if any.
I have not heard or read of any increased volcanic activity in the German Eifel Area. Yes CO2 gases seep though the Laacher Lake, and there are a few micro earthquakes now and then. Which it has done for ages.
Unsettled and "unsettled"
I mean those areas, like most other hotter spots, are well surveilled and even the slightest signs are registered, in terms of tremor, micro earthquakes, gas increase, etc - and I am sure that if that would happen - with proof and not media interpretation - it would then quality for an area to be called 'unsettled'. (I think of Vulcano 2021 north of Sicily among the Aeolian Islands, and to some degree even Campi Flegrei 2021 Pozzuoli, west of Napoli, where increased seismic activity has been going on as well a 83 cm lift).
But it doesn't really tell a clear story, if those areas are really preparing to erupt.
Good is, that keen eyes are kept on volcanic areas, but the media buzz, we could be without.
Volcano discovery reports that tremors continue in the area around Vatnafjöll volcano, Iceland, following an M5.2 quake on Thursday last week.
It also reports on an increase of tremors in the region of Hekla volcano, Iceland, north of Vatnafjoll. It says Hekla is considered to be one of the most active and most dangerous volcanoes in the region, and that it's "statistically overdue" an eruption.

Earthquakes near Hekla volcano in the past 7 days
Aftershocks of Thursday's strong magnitude 5.2 quake under neighboring Vatnafjöll volcano continue with more than 50 tremors detected over the past 48 hours.
An increased number of quakes has also been occurring under Hekla volcano immediately to the north, most of them under the southwestern and western flanks. The problem is that Hekla, one of the country's most active volcanoes, and one of its most dangerous ones, is statistically overdue for an eruption, but typically does not give much warning signs such as earthquake swarms. Very often, the eruptions start with little to no warning time.
Whether last week's quake and the now continuing aftershocks will influence Hekla remains an open question, but the volcano is being monitored very closely.

Update Thu, 11 Nov 2021, 13:33
Moderate magnitude 4.8 earthquake 65 km east of Selfoss, Iceland
4.8 quake 11 Nov 1:21 pm (GMT +0)
An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred around noon on Thursday, November 11th, 2021, at 1:21 pm local time near Selfoss, Sveitarfélagið Árborg, South, Iceland, as reported by the Icelandic Met Office (IMO).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 3.9 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.0. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.0.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Hvolsvollur (pop. 900) located 32 km from the epicenter, Hella (pop. 780) 36 km away, Vestmannaeyjar (pop. 4,200) 59 km away, Selfoss (pop. 6,500) 65 km away, Hveragerdi (pop. 2,300) 74 km away, and Thorlakshofn (pop. 1,500) 84 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Reykjavik (pop. 118,900) located 111 km from the epicenter, Kopavogur (pop. 31,700) 111 km away, and Hafnarfjordur (pop. 26,800) 112 km away.

Activity had been weaker throughout the night and less lava was visible at night compared to previous days, but this changed dramatically in the morning: at around 9 a.m. local time, an episode of sudden increase in the emission of lava occurred at the main effusive vent, and around 11 o'clock, from some of the most eastern emission points, a new voluminous and very liquid lava flow began to pour out towards the southwest, traveling parallel to the previous flow labeled #10.
The new lava flow quickly reached the southernmost end of the existing flow field and invaded new land, destroying a photovoltaic station and the Las Manchas cemetery. Although its advance has slowed down to about 25 m per hour later in the day, it is still threatening other urbanized areas, all of which have already been evacuated.

The La Palma volcano opened a new mouth this morning, to the southwest of the main cone and at a lower elevation, in the Las Manchas area. On the way, it began to emit lava that flowed with great speed and has devastated several houses in addition to reaching and burying the Las Manchas cemetery, where about 3,700 people are buried.

At the same time during the storm around 26 Nov 2021, the rainfalls were not that much as originally feared. The East Side of La Palma in and around the active volcanic region, received between 5 to 43 mm rain - without creating any lahars (ash mixed with water). On the NE side however, 232 mm rain fell at the most.

FILE - The crater lake formed after Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991, shown in this file photo, has become a major attraction for outdoor enthusiasts, with trails opened in Tarlac and Zambales provinces.
A "weak explosion" was recorded at Mt. Pinatubo on Tuesday, said the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.
In its latest bulletin, Phivolcs said the explosion was recorded between 12:09 p.m. and 12:13 p.m.
"The event produced a plume that was detected by the Himawari-8 Satellite and reported to Phivolcs by the Tokyo Volcanic Ash Advisory Center," said Phivolcs.
From Tokyo Volcanic Ash Advisory Center
"The seismic and infrasound signals are not typical of known volcanic processes and are currently being evaluated together with other potential sources," it added.
Phivolcs explained that there has only been very low seismic activity in the past days. The Pinatubo Crater Lake yields low diffuse volcanic carbon dioxide flux at only 257 tonnes per day.
However, Phivolcs warned the public not to enter the volcano's vicinity at this time.
Local government units were advised to prohibit entry into Pinatubo Crater "until the source of the above explosion event has been determined and to report to us any related information. "
"Communities and local government units surrounding Pinatubo are reminded to be always prepared for both earthquake and volcanic hazards and to review, prepare and strengthen their contingency, emergency, and other disaster preparedness plans," Phivolcs said.
Mt. Pinatubo last erupted on June 15, 1991, and was considered the second-largest eruption of the 20th century.

Volcano Update 30 Nov 2021 • Pinatubo
The phreatic eruption at Pinatubo has been officially confirmed.
Country: Philippines | Coordinates: 15.13, 120.35 | Eruption: steam emission
This morning it was not yet clear whether there was indeed an eruption at the Philippine volcano Pinatubo. In the meantime, an eruption cloud was visually confirmed and also detected on satellite photos. However, the eruption cloud consisted almost entirely of water vapour and gas. It contained only little volcanic ash and was apparently of phreatic origin. For this, however, the cloud rose unusually high. Perhaps observations by volcanologists on site will reveal more precisely what happened.
PHILVOLCS recently issued the following statement, which is available here in automatic translation:
"Based on visual reports of an eruption plume and seismic, infrasound and satellite detections, DOST-PHIVOLCS confirms that a phreatic eruption occurred at Pinatubo crater between 12:09 and 12:13. The event was also confirmed after the AFP disposed of ordnance on the northern flank of Pinatubo at noon today, which has nothing to do with the volcano's condition. So far, there are no reports of ash fall from communities in Zambales over which the eruption plume spread. Considering that the volcano's seismic activity has been very low in recent days and a low diffuse volcanic CO2 flux has been measured at Pinatubo crater lake, as well as the high infrasound and seismic energy released by the eruption, the event was likely triggered by surface hydrothermal processes beneath the edifice."
Pinatubo killed hundreds of people in 1991
Some readers may wonder why the steam explosion at Pinatubo is given so much space here? Pinatubo is responsible for one of the most powerful eruptions of the last century, generating a VEI 6 eruption in 1991. Naturally, people are concerned when such a volcano shows signs of awakening. At that time, a lava dome grew in the crater and its explosion produced large pyroclastic flows and ash clouds. 875 people were killed.
