'The methods used to collect, interpret, and disseminate map data have been evolving ever since [Hawaiian Volcano Observatory's] founding in 1912, and a digital tool newly available to the public continues that legacy of innovation. The new digital tool is an interactive, browser-based display of map data that can be updated in near-real-time with eruption features, such as lava flows.'

A little bit hazy, but had the rare treat of being able to see four PNW volcanos at one time from my flight out of Seattle yesterday. From left to right are (indigenous names first) Klickitat (a.k.a. Adams), Wy'east (a.k.a. Hood, way in the distance), Tahoma (a.k.a. Rainier), and Lawetlat'la (a.k.a. St. Helens).
#MountRuang, located in in North #Sulawesi Province, first erupted at 9:45pm (13:45 GMT) on Tuesday sending billowing clouds of smoke and ash high into the sky.
Officials worry that part of the #volcano could collapse into the sea and cause a #tsunami as it did during a previous eruption in 1871 (#Krakatoa).
#Grindavík, #Iceland
A volcano that erupted three times between December and February continues to spew lava and emit smoke as the northern lights appear over the town
Cold Breath of Dormant Volcanoes: The Unknown World of CO2 Mofettes by Hardy Pfanz
This work, written in an understandable way for the interested layperson, introduces into the unknown world of the CO 2 gas volcanoes, the so-called mofettes. A little explored world that lets animals die in the middle of Europe, changes the flora, influences soils and the atmosphere and can provide clues for upcoming volcanic eruptions.
“I’m not sure if #Grindavík will ever be safe. The town is full of cracks everywhere. It was built on lava that has opened up. That happened 800 years ago, too. We can’t control it. You don’t mess with nature.” #Volcanoes#Reykjavik
