As small earthquakes continue to rumble around the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming, scientists have revealed new evidence of the changes going on beneath the ground.
A new map from the US Geological Survey shows how the ground around the Yellowstone caldera has deformed over the span of two years, as the quakes release uplift-causing pressure, allowing the ground to sink back down.
This activity is typically linked to changes in magma and gases deep below the surface - but for now, the experts say there's no cause for worry.
The map, created by USGS geophysicist Chuck Wicks uses data from June 2015 and July 2017 to show how the region around Yellowstone has changed.
In the map, the colourful rings show the changes in the ground's elevation as seen by a radar satellite, according to USGS.
A bulls-eye shaped section of uplift can be seen at the Norris Geyser Basin, where the ground has risen roughly 3 inches.
With the massive eruption at Bogoslov Volcano in the Aleutian chain near Alaska, air travel was restricted and still remains "hazardous". Something similar happened in 2010 when air travel was restricted over Europe and an Icelandic volcano erupted. Now Steam vents are opening through the Greenland ice sheet and Katla is on yellow elevated warning with over 500 small quakes with a 50-50 chance of an eruption. This uptick in volcanic activity was predicted to go hand in hand with the intensification of the grand solar minimum. Here we go, ramp up from here.
The Klyuchevskoi Volcano in Kamchatka, Eurasia's highest active volcano, spewed a column of ash rising to 8 kilometers, the Kamchatka department of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences said on Friday.
"A column of ash above the Klyuchevskoi Volcano rose to eight kilometers above the sea level today," a spokesman for the service said.
According to the Russian Emergencies Ministry's Kamchatka department, winds carried the plumes of ash away from nearby settlements.
The 4,750-meter-tall (15,580-feet) volcano is located in the Kamchatka Peninsula's Ust-Kamchatka District. There are no international airplane routes in the Klyuchevskoye volcano area.
Costa Rican volcanoes Poas and Turrialba started their Wednesday morning with significant eruptions of ashes, gases and aerosol, said reports made by the Costa Rican National Seismologic and Volcanologic Observatory (OVSICON).
Between the 01:00 and the 06:00 hours local time, Poas presented exhalations with the presence of ashes, which is still maintained up to now.
The column still does not go over the 400 meters over the top of the crater, located in the province of Alajuela, 45 kilometers northwest from San Jose.
The column of ashes is produced one day after the eruption of gases, for several hours.
Alaska's tiny Bogoslof volcano erupted again Monday morning, sending an ash cloud about 6 miles into the sky.
The "significant explosive eruption" started around 10 a.m. on the remote island in the Bering Sea, northwest of Unalaska Island, and continued for about three hours, the Alaska Volcano Observatory reported.
In response, the observatory issued a "red" aviation warning, the highest level.

Indonesia's Mount Sinabung volcano, located in Karo regency in North Sumatra province, erupted on Wednesday morning (Aug 2), sending clouds of ash and hot smoke more than 4km high.
The volcano had multiple eruptions between 8am and noon local time on Wednesday. It had erupted repeatedly in recent weeks, displacing as many as 7,214 people, with 2,863 choosing to stay at evacuation shelters, Indonesia's disaster management agency (BNPB) said in a statement.
Indonesia's Centre for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation has told residents to stay outside a 7km radius on the south side of the volcano, 6km on the south-east and east side and 4km on the north side.
With all of the world media hype surrounding the iceberg that broke off of Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf, the MSM forgot that there were 5x bigger icebergs in 1956 and 1927 that broke off. As well underwater volcanoes are responsible for the crack, not CO2 warming. Add to this images coming from Icelandic Air pilots showing steam vents that have opened through the Greenland Ice sheet, which signals an awakening of new vents under that ice sheet. All of the increases in volcanic and tectonic activity has been predicted as our Earth and Sun enter a grand solar minimum. It is apparent in the traces of volcanic aerosols in the ice sheets that every grand solar minimum there are more volcanic eruptions.
This is what we are seeing now, but the MSM focuses on human causes for the iceberg, when they should be talking about the intensification of the Eddy minimum.
Mt Sinabung, located in Karo district, North Sumatra province, Thursday erupted at 7.20 a.m. local time, causing 386 seconds of tectonic earthquakes in some nearby areas.
Chief of National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said here that following the eruption, the volcano spewed ashes 3.5 thousand meters into the air, while discharging lava 1 thousand meters to the mountains southern region.
Earlier on Wednesday, the volcano spewed ashes 1.5 thousand meters into the air and causing six tremors, 20 volcanic earthquakes, and one tectonic earthquake.
In Wednesdays eruption, since 12 p.m. local time, the volcano spewed ashes 700 meters into the air, while releasing lava 1 thousand meters to the east and the southeast.
The Kamchatka filial of the geophysical service of the Russian Academy of Science registered eruption and 6km pillar of ash from Klyuchevskaya volcano positioned on the peninsula, reported RIA Novosti.
'This Wednesday morning local time the volcano blasted ash in to the atmosphere and it spread on more than 60km southwest of the volcano, writes the agency.
Orange code alert for aviation danger is announced which means that local and international flights might suffer delays.
Klyuchevskaya is the highest active volcano in Euroasia, It is 4740 meteres tall and on the 3th of April 2016 became active.
Incredible footage has emerged of a cameraman being nearly blown off the edge of an exploding volcano.
In the short video posted to newsflare.com, Kiwi film maker Geoff Mackley is setting up a camera on the edge of a volcanic crater in Vanuatu when it suddenly erupts.
"While placing a GoPro, ***t happened," Mackley posted on Facebook, along with a still shot of volcanic debris swirling around his hunched-over body.
The moment was captured by the Mackley's friend at Mt Yasur volcano, on Tanna Island, three days ago.
Heaven and hell are eternal places because they are always present at the extremes of human existence, for better or for worse. People are constantly choosing between them, although they are generally not conscious of that in an articulated manner.
