Less than 48 hours after public display of volcanic activity at Yellowstone was intentionally taken OFFLINE from public view, we now know why: Looks like "there's a whole lot a shakin' goin' on!"

Take a look at this reading from Bore Hole 944 inside the super-volcano at Yellowstone National Park:

Folks within 500 miles of Yellowstone National Park may want to keep close watch on the super-volcano there. With readings like you see above, now closed-off to the public, it seems there's something taking place at the deadly volcano.

Sakurajima Volcano erupts with lightning

A large blast occurred overnight (April 3 2016 early AM) at Sakurajima Volcano in South Japan.

The volcanic eruption produced large flows of lava, and plumes of ash reaching multiple kilometers into the sky.

The ascending ash produced multiple impressive displays of static discharge lightning, ranging in color from blue and green, to white, purple and yellow.

The lightning is produced by friction between the hot billowing clouds of ash, and the colder moist air surrounding the volcano which resides in South Japan near the ocean.

Comment: Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano also lit up the night sky with a spectacular eruption on the same day.

Mexico's Popocatépetl volcano violently erupted over the weekend, launching ash and burning rocks into the air after weeks of increased activity.

Mexico's National Center for Disaster Prevention last week raised the environmental alert level to the second degree out of three, meaning nearby residents should be prepared to evacuate.

Officials have warned nearby residents to avoid the area, adding that low-level to intermediate-level explosive activity is expected. Falling ash may affect nearby towns.

Sunday's eruption occurred at 8:31 p.m., which led to an ash cloud reaching 1.2 miles in height and the raining down of burning rock fragments.

Volcanic activity has recently increased in Popocatépetl, which is in central Mexico -- about 43 miles southeast of Mexico City. Sunday's eruption has been the most significant in the past month.

The alert level was not raised after Sunday's eruption.

Volcano Nevado del Ruiz erupts in Colombia

A strong explosion occurred at the volcano Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia on March 31, 2016. Just prior the eruption increased seismic activity was captured by seismometers around the volcano.

The resulting ash column rose 3,500 m to 30,000 ft (9 km) altitude and drifted NW. Ash fall is likely in nearby areas.

The Manizales volcano observatory reported that over the past days, a number of similar, but weaker tremor pulses were recorded at the volcano recently.

When the summit of the volcano was not in clouds, it could be observed that at least some of these weak volcanic earthquakes also produced small to moderate ash emissions.

And the volcanic unrest continues...

The volcanic peak Copahue, which sits at the border of Argentina and Chile, erupted today after weeks of gradually increasing activity. NASA astronaut Jeff Williams posted this photo of the volcano going nuts from the International Space Station, from which the eruption was clearly visible.

The volcano had been exhibiting increased ash emission for months, and especially within the past week.

The region remained at a Yellow Alert in the days leading up to the eruption. Authorities also reported on March 22 that there was no danger from Copahue's ash emissions to the surrounding population (a rough translation is below):

Kanlaon Volcano erupts

The Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Oriental province erupted at 6:20 p.m. on Tuesday (March 29), the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said in an advisory.

The eruption that lasted for 12 minutes produced a volcanic plume 1500 meters above the crater and a "booming sound" was heard in some barangays near the volcano.

According to the same advisory posted on the agency's social media account, "traces of light ashfall were reported in Sitio Guintubdan, Brgy. Ara-al, La Carlota City, Negros Occidental."

According to Police Supt. Frankie Lugo, chief of the Canlaon City in Negros Oriental, several fire balls, which were coming from the crater of the volcano, started to flow following a booming sound.

A thick cloud also formed after the minor explosion but faded minutes later, Lugo said.

Large eruption at Sakurajima Volcano in South Japan

Just before Pavlof volcano in Alaska began erupting, a very large blast occurred at Sakurajima Volcano in South Japan, followed by several other blasts overnight.

Tourists were fairly close to the volcano when it sent off the first blast, also captured on JMA webcams (links below). Luckily for the tourists, the blasts pyroclastic flow (and ash fallout) blew in the opposite direction.

If the wind was blowing towards the tourists, this may have been an entirely different story involving injuries. It might not be too wise to be in close proximity to this active volcano.

Pavlof Volcano erupts in Alaska, sends ash 20,000 feet high

ABC News
Mon, 28 Mar 2016 01:28 UTC

The U.S. Geological Survey reports that a volcano on Alaska's Aleutian Islands erupted Sunday afternoon and sent ash 20,000 feet into the air.

The agency says the Pavlof Volcano, which is about 600 miles southwest of Anchorage, erupted at 4:18 p.m. local time. The agency says the eruption also led to tremors on the ground.

The USGS has raised the volcano alert level to "Warning" and the aviation warning to "Red."

The agency says the volcano, which is about 4.4 miles in diameter, has had 40 known eruptions and "is one of the most consistently active volcanoes in the Aleutian arc."

The USGS says that during a previous eruption in 2013, ash plumes rose 27,000 feet. Other eruptions have generated ash plumes as high as 49,000 feet.

The community closest to the volcano is Cold Bay, which is about 37 miles southwest of it.
