In Bogoslof, a Landsat 8 image of June 5 at 10 pm UTC, in true colors in the visible and Infra-red shows a thermal anomaly of the vent located south of the lagoon in horseshoe, emitting flushes of steam white. Hot waters flow from the lagoon and mingle with the cold waters; There is also a plume of sediment.
On 6 June, a brief explosion was detected at 14h UTC / 6h LT. A possible plume was detected by satellite after the seismic and infrasonic data. A persistent rise in surface temperatures has also been observed by satellites over the past 24 hours.
On 7 June, at 14.30 UTC / 6.30 local time, a similar explosion on the previous day, but a little larger, lasted over 2 minutes, before seismicity returned to previous levels. No volcanic cloud has been seen by satellite.
The AVO reported, on 8 June, the appearance of a new dome in the northern part of the lagoon. It reached about 110 meters. A robust plume is visible, and extends, at 10:50 UTC / 14:50 local time on 75 km south towards Unalaska at an altitude of 3,000 m.
Past eruptions stopped with the setting up of a dome, others continued with effusion and explosions.
Given the brevity of events, the aviation code remains orange and the volcanic alert to Watch.

Etna has been feverish since yesterday, according to the RMS charts put online by Boris Behncke.
On the morning of June 7, there was a strong degassing of steam at the level of the summit craters.

At the Piton de La Fournaise, inflation continued at both the summit and far-field levels, reflecting the pressure of superficial and deep sources.
At the seismicity level, 25 volcano-tectonic earthquakes concern the top cone; The highest is of magnitude1,19. Ten landslides are reported for the top cone and the enclosure.
CO2 concentrations in the soil, measured at the Kaffir Plain level, remain at a stable and high level.

Piton de La Fournaise - Illustration of the top deformation over 2 months. Here is shown a baseline (variation of distance between two GPS receivers) crossing the Dolomieu crater. A rise is synonymous with elongation and therefore swelling of the volcano; Conversely, a decrease is synonymous with contraction and therefore with deflation of the volcano. The possible periods, colored in light pink, correspond to eruptions. - OVPF
