On June 2, Mount Etna erupted fiercely, sending ash and lava flows high into the sky. Tourists fled, flights were alerted, and summit access was restricted for safety.
A new column of steam has appeared in Yellowstone National Park, fueled by magma beneath the surface.
Mount Spurr, about 80 miles (129 kilometers) northwest of Anchorage, last erupted in 1992, spewing an ash cloud nearly 12 miles (19 kilometers) into the air, prompting flights to be cancelled and people to don masks.
Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki erupted at least three times last Saturday, discharging a volcanic ash column that was 9 km (5.6 miles) high.
Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki, located on Flores Island in East Nusa Tenggara province, erupted on Sunday night, followed by a smaller eruption on Monday night, and remains on Indonesia's highest volcanic alert status.
At least 10 people have died following a series of eruptions from Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki on Indonesia’s Flores Island, as thick ash and hot debris damaged nearby villages, including a convent. Volcanic material blanketed the area, forcing around 10,000 residents to evacuate, while rescuers search for more victims. The volcano’s alert status has been raised to its highest level, expanding the exclusion zone to 7 kilometers. Indonesia, home to 120 active volcanoes, sits on the seismic “Ring of Fire.” This is the country’s second major eruption in two weeks, following Mount Marapi's eruption in West Sumatra.
