This week in volcano news - American Samoa volcano update, new intrusion at Mount Merapi

eruption

At the present, there is a volcano erupting in part of the United Kingdom. This volcano just so happens to be a distant overseas island territory. Also, in American Samoa, a magmatic caused earthquake swarm is ongoing. At Mount Merapi, a new intrusion of magma was detected underneath the volcano. And, in Russia, a 15,597 foot volcano had its alert level raised after producing a visible plume of ash, dispersing it on the volcano's eastern flank.

UK government's green energy policy is a 'national disaster'

Net Zero Watch has condemned the Government's green energy policies as "a national disaster."

This follows the announcement that a major offshore windfarm will not activate an agreement to sell power at a much lower cost to the grid.

The Times has reported that the Hornsea 2 windfarm, which had a contract to sell power at £73 per megawatt hour, will instead sell in the open market, where prices have averaged £200 per megawatt hour this year, and reached £508 last week.

Britain's struggling energy consumers are likely to end up paying a billion pounds extra for Hornsea's electricity over the next 12 months.

The new Prime Minister should urgently look into the legal options for cancelling or revoking these poorly written contracts, the spirit of which are being grotesquely abused to the huge disadvantage to British consumers.

In the last week, the alert level was raised at several volcanoes surrounded by densely populated cities. These include Mount Mayon in the Philippines and Karthala in Comoros which both had their alert levels raised. Also, two new volcanic eruptions began this week; one in the United States and one in Russia. This video will discuss these volcano related news stories, as told and analyzed by a volcanologist.

In the last week, a series of magmatic earthquakes continued underneath three islands in American Samoa. As a result, the alert level of 2 of the area's volcanoes was raised from green to yellow. Meanwhile in the Philippines, a volcanic uplift signature was potentially detected at 2 volcanoes; Mayon & Bulusan. And, in Chile, Mount Hudson produced an unusual hybrid earthquake. This video will discuss these volcano related news stories, as told and analyzed by a volcanologist.

Iceland volcano eruption update - New eruption begins at Geldingadalir, lava flows from a fissure

The eruption in Geldingadalir started at 13:18 today.
© mbl.is/ArnþórThe eruption in Geldingadalir started at 13:18 today.
Earlier today, a new volcanic eruption began in Iceland. Just northeast of where Geldingadalir famously erupted in 2021, the same volcanic system ejected lava out of a 100 meter long fissure. As a result, the alert level of this Iceland volcano was temporarily raised to red, and the eruption plume became visible across the peninsula. So, what will happen next? Where will the lava flow? This video will answer these two questions and the ongoing volcanic eruption.
