News of Kilauea, Etna, Merapi, and global review of active volcanoes.

In Kilauea, no more active lava observations since September 4th ... on the basis of the dritères of the Global Volcanism Program, the eruption on the Lower East Rift Zone can be considered to be over.

Kilauea remains an active volcano, and geophysical data continues to show movements in the magmatic system, including a recharge of the East Rift Zone.

The danger remains, the area under effective control, and the closing of the lava field and vents, and its prohibition of access, remain in force, except with the express authorization of the Civil Defense.

For now, the volcanic alert level is Adisory and the yellow aviation code.

At Etna, a Strombolian activity coupled with the emission of a small lava flow by the NSEC "puttusiddu" continues modestly; a small cone has formed inside the mouth.

The dome of Merapi, in continuous growth, presents on the images of Planet Labs of December 1 an intriguing vent or a collapse structure under its perimeter.

These images were not commented by the PVMBG, which informs a seismicity characterized this December 4 by 50 earthquakes of eruption, one earthquake of emission, 5 earthquakes of low frequency, 8 hybrid earthquakes, a shallow volcanic earthquake and 2 distant tectonic earthquakes. The dome is surmounted by a white degassing at 50 meters above the summit.
