Volcanic Activity Reports

-
Jul 3 2025 at 12:42:05 UTCNew activity/unrest was reported for two volcanoes from June 25 to July 1, 2025. During the same period, ongoing activity was reported for 20 volcanoes.
-
Jul 3 2025 at 08:07:57 UTCA strong explosive eruption occurred at Shinmoedake volcano, part of the Kirishima volcanic complex on Kyushu Island, Japan, at approximately 15:37 JST (06:37 UTC) on July 3, 2025, sending an ash plume up to 6.7 km (22 000 feet) above sea level (a.s.l.). The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) had raised the volcanic alert to Level 3 on June 27, following increased volcanic unrest.
-
Jun 30 2025 at 14:04:47 UTCAn earthquake swarm with the strongest quake registered as an M4.6 quake struck the Campi Flegrei area in southern Italy on June 30, 2025, prompting evacuations and train delays in the region. It was the strongest tremor to strike the region in 40 years, surpassing the M4.4 quakes of March and May.

Volcano Activity Summary for 2 Jul 2025:
- Kilauea volcano (United States) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 25 June-1 July 2025 (Continuing Activity)
Jul 2 2025 at 10:00 am EDT
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) reported that the eruption within Kilauea’s Kaluapele summit caldera, characterized by episodic fountaining and intermittent spatter at two vents along the SW margin of Halema’uma’u Crater, continued at variable levels during 25 June-1 July. Nighttime incandescence at both the N and S vents was visible overnight during 24-28 June and intermittent lava spattering at the N vent was visible during 26-29 June. Small, sporadic dome fountains and intermittent lava overflows at the N vent began at 0727 on 29 June.
Small, sustained lava fountaining began at 0803 and the fountains slowly grew over the next hour; at 0905 the height and vigor of the fountains increased notably. The fountains were as high as 150 m by 0931 and multiple lava flows were advancing on the crater floor. An eruption plume rose at least 6 km (20,000 ft) above the ground; variable winds blew gas and tephra plumes in different directions.
The fountains rose higher, reaching 340 m for several hours. The activity started to wane and ceased at 1954, after 11 hours of continuous fountaining. Flames were visible at the S vent for a few minutes afterwards.
The N vent produced an estimated 6.2 million cubic meters of lava covering about 80 percent of the crater floor. The Volcano Alert Level remained at Watch (the third level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the third color on a four-color scale).

The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported that an eruption at Lewotolok was ongoing during 25 June-1 July. Daily gray, white-to-gray, or gray-to-black ash plumes rose 400-1,200 m above the summit of the cone and drifted in multiple directions. Clear nighttime webcam images showed incandescent material both at the summit cone and being ejected above the cone.
Lava flows on the flanks of the main volcano edifice were also incandescent. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public was warned to stay 2 km away from the vent and 2.5 km away on the S, SE, and W flanks.

Jul 2 2025 at 10:00 am EDT
The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) reported that slow lava effusion continued to feed a thick flow in Great Sitkin’s summit crater during 25 June-1 July. Small daily earthquakes were detected by the seismic network, including signals probably caused by small rockfalls from the steep S and SE flanks. Slightly elevated surface temperatures consistent with lava effusion were occasionally observed in clear satellite views.
Observers on a nearby ship saw a diffuse steam plume rising above the dome during 27-38 June. The Volcano Alert Level remained at Watch (the third level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the third color on a four-color scale).

Jul 2 2025 at 10:00 am EDT
The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported that activity continued at Semeru during 25 June-1 July, often with multiple daily eruptive events recorded by the seismic network. Emissions were not visually observed most of the week. At 0025 and 0030 on 1 July white-and-gray ash plumes rose 500-600 m above the summit and drifted SW.
The Alert Level remained at 2 (the second lowest level on a scale of 1-4). The public was warned to stay at least 3 km away from the summit in all directions, 8 km from the summit to the SE, 500 m from the banks of the Kobokan drainage as far as 13 km from the summit, and to avoid other drainages including the Bang, Kembar, and Sat, due to lahar, avalanche, and pyroclastic flow hazards.

- Raung volcano (Indonesia) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 25 June-1 July 2025 (Continuing Activity)
Jul 2 2025 at 10:00 am EDT
The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported that eruptive activity at Raung continued during 25 June-1 July. No emissions were visible during 25-28 June, likely due to weather conditions. Daily ash plumes during 29 June-1 July rose as high has as 600 m above the crater rim and drifted NW and W.
Incandescence at the summit was sometimes visible in webcam images. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public was warned to stay 3 km away from the summit crater.

- Santa Maria volcano (Guatemala) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 25 June-1 July 2025 (Continuing Activity)
Jul 2 2025 at 10:00 am EDT
The Instituto Nacional de Sismología, Vulcanología, Meteorología e Hidrología (INSIVUMEH) reported high levels of ongoing eruptive activity at Santa Maria’s Santiaguito dome complex during 24 June-1 July with continuing lava extrusion at Caliente dome. Daily explosions, 1-2 per hour when reported, generated gas-and-ash plumes that rose as high as 1.2 km above the dome and drifted as far as 30 km N, NW, W, and SW. Effusion of blocky lava and collapses of material produced block avalanches that descended multiple flanks; the collapsed material sometimes produced short pyroclastic flows that reached the base of Caliente cone.
Incandescence was visible at Caliente dome and upper part of the W flank lava flow. Minor ashfall was reported in communities surrounding the volcano during 25-26 June and in San Marcos (10 km SW), Loma Linda (7 km W), Palajunoj (17 km SSW), and other areas downwind during 29-30 June.

- Poas volcano (Costa Rica) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 25 June-1 July 2025 (Continuing Activity)
Jul 2 2025 at 10:00 am EDT
The Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica-Universidad Nacional (OVSICORI-UNA) reported continuing gas-and-steam emissions with occasional minor amounts of ash at Poás during 24 June-1 July. Uplift ceased to be detected in the past few weeks and no significant deformation was detected during the current week. Incandescence was periodically visible and detected in infrared webcam views at Boca A vent.
The hyperacid lake over Boca C continued to rise, notably during periods of heavy rain. Dense gas-and-steam emissions continued to be emitted from Boca A; gas component ratios were at normal levels. The emissions contained minor ash content at around 1530 on 25 June and rose 500 m above the crater rim.
The Alert Level remained at 2 (the second lowest level on a four-level scale) and the Aviation Color Code remained at Yellow (the second lowest color on a four-color scale).
