Ibu (Halmahera, Indonesia): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 14000 ft (4300 m) altitude or flight level 140 and is moving at 10 kts in SE direction.
The full report is as follows: VA TO FL140 REPORTED 29/1250Z AND TO FL060 REPORTED 29/1432Z to 14000 ft (4300 m)
Lewotobi (Flores): (29 Dec) The eruptive activity continues from the volcano.
A powerful explosion occurred from the volcano’s crater yesterday. At about 14:07 local time, grey ash-rich emissions rose up to 3,5 km altitude and drifted north-northeast.

The alert level for the volcano remains at Level 3 (Siaga).
In order to mitigate the current risk, people are advised to avoid the area of 5 km from the crater and 6 km from the southwest-northeast sector.

Kilauea (Hawai’i): (29 Dec) The lava began erupting sluggishly from vents around 08:00local time on Thursday, December 26, signaling the start of the third phase of the ongoing summit eruption.
Over the following day and a half, small, slow-moving lava flows continued to emerge, traveling only short distances from the northern vents. This sluggish, low-effusion activity, which has persisted for the past 2.5 days, marks the third eruptive episode and has lasted significantly longer than the 3–4 hours of sluggish eruption preceding the fountaining during the second episode.

Around 05:15 PM local time, fountaining from the southern active vent began to intensify and became more continuous, with spatter reaching heights of 60–100 feet (20–30 meters), predominantly from the more southerly of the two vents. By 06:00 PM loca time, the increased lava output had covered approximately 20% of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor.
Deflation in the southern caldera area started around 01:00 PM local time and is ongoing. The tiltmeter at Uēkahuna recorded inflation beneath Halemaʻumaʻu until 3 p.m., when it leveled off. Tremor levels have gradually increased over the past two days but remain relatively low compared to the first two episodes of vigorous fountaining, where heights exceeded 250 feet (80 meters). In the previous episodes, deflation beneath Halemaʻumaʻu and the southern caldera region occurred simultaneously.
Popocatépetl (Central Mexico): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 21000 ft (6400 m) altitude or flight level 210 .

Fantale (Ethiopia): Over the past few days, seismic activity in the Awash area has picked up significantly. At least 5 quakes of magnitudes around 4.5 have been registered in the past 48 hours alone. The strongest quakes such as one that happened an hour ago are being felt as far as in the capital Addis Abeba.
The real number of quakes is unknown as there is no seismic network (or at least no publicly available) covering the area and only the largest events can be identified on global networks.

However, our current expedition group spent last night in the area and reported that they felt about 7 tremors during the night in Awash town, suggesting that the real number of quakes is likely in the hundreds.
