The #Popocatépetl is mesmerizing to me. I have been looking at it since I was a child, that is why I know that its crater is getting bigger, its fumaroles are thicker and longer and its ash more odorous and scratchy Images from #AHORA in the Cabrera nurseries in #Atlixco #Puebla #México

Kilauea, Hawai'i
24 Dec 2024

An unexpected eruption at Kilauea volcano. German Vulkane.net wrote an article about the event

Kilauea: Eruption zu Weihnachten gestartet - Vulkane Net Newsblog

Heute Nachmittag begann ein neuer Vulkanausbruch am Kilauea auf Hawaii. Die Eruption startete ziemlich überraschend.

An eruption began at Kilauea - Christmas eruption takes us by surprise

This afternoon, a new volcanic eruption began at Kilauea in Hawaii. The eruption started rather surprisingly at 2:20 am HST (13:20 UTC) and flooded the floor of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater with lava within minutes.



The start of the eruption could be followed via livestream: Outside the right edge of the image and thus in the west of the crater, an eruption fissure opened up, which quickly entered the camera's field of view and spread across a large part of the crater floor. A relatively massive lava fountain shot up from one part of the fissure, at the site of an earlier eruption center, but it was short-lived. After a good 35 minutes, the lava had spread over a large part of the crater floor and has since formed a secondary lava lake. This is now still largely fed by a lava fountain on the western edge of the crater.



The eruption was preceded by a brief seismic crisis that began at around 02:00 HST. Increased seismic activity was registered yesterday. Just over 180 tremors occurred within 24 hours. The last time seismicity was elevated was on December 4. Since then, seismicity has been inconspicuous. A significant inflation, as is usually measured in the weeks and days before the eruptions, was not registered this time.



Current measures and alert levels

The HVO raised the volcano alert level of Kīlauea from CAUTION to WARNING, while the aviation color code was changed from YELLOW to RED. These changes reflect the escalating activity and potential hazards associated with the eruption.

Volcanic hazards and risks

Current hazards from the eruption include:

1 • Lava fountains and flows: these are currently confined to the caldera, but may threaten surrounding areas if activity expands.
2 • Gas emissions: Kīlauea emits large amounts of sulphur dioxide (SO₂), which degrades air quality and can cause acid rain.
3 • Ashfall: Smaller ash ejections can affect the surrounding areas.
4 • Ground instability: Earthquakes can increase due to volcanic activity and cause damage to buildings and roads.

Background information on Kīlauea

The hotspot volcano Kīlauea is located on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is a 1247 m high shield volcano that is known for its frequent eruptions. Its last major eruption period began in May 2018 and led to the destruction of hundreds of houses and the transformation of the landscape in the settlement of Leilani. Periodic lava lakes often formed in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater after the 2018 eruption. The last two eruptions in 2024 manifested themselves in the upper rift zones outside the summit caldera.

It is not possible to predict how long the current eruption will last, especially as it was not even on the radar.

# A fire bomb exploded on the Mount! There has been a sense of displacement and smoking on Mount Fontale in the afternoon earthquake or vibration ! Is there a big settlement from the Afar region of the Afar region?

Data of Ethiopian earthquakes, other images from google maps

Smithsonian Global Volcanism
Fentale is a large stratovolcano at the N end of the Main Ethiopian Rift. It consists primarily of rhyolitic obsidian lava flows with minor tuffs. Welded pantelleritic ash flows accompanied formation of a 2.5 x 4.5 km summit caldera, with steep-sided walls. Elliptically shaped, it trends WNW-ESE, perpendicular to the Ethiopian Rift. Post-caldera vents lie along the same orientation. Trachytic and obsidian lava flows occur on the caldera floor, and fresh-looking lava flows descend the flanks. An eruption during the 13th century destroyed an Abyssinian town and church to the south. In 1820 CE basaltic lava flows effused from a 4-km-long fissure on the S flank; lava also flowed onto the caldera floor.
