Activity of Sakurajima, Soufrière, Manam and Etna.

In Sakurajima, eruptive activity continues, with explosions on January 25, 26, 28 and 30-31, accompanied by the emission of ash plumes. On January 31, we will remember an explosion with a white plume at 2,300 meters asl. At 7.20 am.

At Sakurajima, the supply and storage of magma in the underground depths of the Aira caldera (inner part of Kagoshima Bay) continues, with inflation observed by GNSS. The emission of volcanic gas (sulfur dioxide) remains high.

Therefore, the J.M.A. considers that the eruptive activity will continue to focus on the summit crater Minamidake.

The update of the bulletins of the UWI-SRC on the activity of the Soufrière of St. Vincent is done with a delay of several days ... Without recent news, this suggests a continuous increase of the new dome.

The gas fumes continue, with damage to vegetation in the crater, but also outside it, visible on satellite images.

In Papua New Guinea, Manam's activity continues, with emissions of steam and gas, towards the east of the volcano, on January 29 and 30, spotted by Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-5P.

A slight eruptive activity continued at the south-eastern summit crater of Etna on the evening of January 30, 2021.

A strong glow (caused by the reflection of the incandescence in the gas plume) is observed at the East vents (right), and Strombolian activity, accompanied by ballistic projections at the "saddle vent" (center) .
