Some highlights from the last week of volcanic activity courtesy the Global Volcanism Program and Sally Kuhn Sennert, including more seismic restlessness and ash venting at Soufrière Hills and some big bangs at Stromboli:
- Soufrière Hills: seismic swarms, ash venting, ashfall, some rumbling and roaring
- Stromboli: two major explosive events at the ever-active ‘Lighthouse of the Mediterranean’
- Pacaya: an explosion produces ash and tephra fall, provoking small-scale evacuations
