Pacaya Volcano, Guatemala - John Seach
Posted by John Seach
Pacaya volcano, Guatemala erupted yesterday. Guatemala's President declared a state of "calamity" in two provinces and opened emergency shelters to accommodate over 1,700 residents who were evacuated. More than 65 people were injured, some people are missing, and hundreds of houses damaged by the eruption which sent stones and ash over a wide area. The international airport at Guatemala City was to remain closed for 20 hours. The runway was covered by 2.5 cm of volcanic ash.
je zou bijna zeggen dt ze het gewend zijn.quote:Pacaya is one of the world's most active volcanoes. It lies approximately 25 km south of Guatemala City. Activity at the volcano consists of strombolian eruptions, ash eruptions, and lava flows.
A caldera forming eruption at Pacaya occurred 23,000 years ago. The volcanic complex contains three old summits: Cerro Chino (2260 m), Cerro Chiquito (2460 m) and Cerro Grande (2560 m). Two lavas (basaltic andesite and dacite), coexist at Cerro Chiquito dome.
Between 1961 and 2000 Strombolian activity persisted at Pacaya volcano, with two to three paroxysmal eruptions each year.

IJslandse vulkanen zijn niet de enige die overlast veroorzaken voor de luchtvaart:
Ook weer een erg mooie berg:quote:Giant ash cloud threatens flights in Pacific
The cloud billowing from Vanuatu's Mount Yasur volcano rose about 6,000 feet (1,800 metres) high and was spread over about 340 square kilometres (130 square miles), affecting flights in neighbouring New Caledonia.
Tourists have been banned from scenic Mount Yasur, which has been exploding and spitting lava and burning rocks, while officials are assessing whether to evacuate some 6,000 nearby villagers.
Meanwhile, New Zealand officials warned airlines to avoid the ash - which can seize up jet engines by being churned into glass - echoing the Iceland eruption which caused mass disruption in Europe including a week-long shutdown.
"The Mount Yasur volcano on Tanna island has been very active the last three days and the eruption is ongoing," said Tristan Oakley, an aviation forecaster with New Zealand's Meteorological Service.
Peter Korisa of Vanuatu's National Disaster Management Office said ash was contaminating drinking water for villagers in the volatile region, which sits on the "Pacific Ring of Fire" known for its volcanic and seismic activity.
"Last week we recorded a very high activity for the volcano with hot lava, hot rocks falling from the volcano," he told AFP from Mount Tasur's surrounding island of Tanna.
"There are 6,000 people in the villages around the volcano, we're not moving them out yet. All tourists and tourist operators have been asked to not access the volcano. The access is restricted."
The plume has disrupted a handful of domestic flights operated by New Caledonia's AirCal, although disruption remains tiny compared with the havoc seen in Europe.
Air Vanuatu local supervisor David Dick said flights were still running between the South Pacific country's capital, Port Vila, and Tanna island, while tourism officials also said the industry was unaffected.
Resort-owners said tourists were still driving out to see the volcano but had to keep their distance, while the trucks carrying them returned covered with ash.
"They can get to the volcano, but are restricted and don't have access to where we usually take them," said Lina Tuprick, who works at Tanna Evergreen Bungalows.
"There are explosions on the volcano. It's the first time in two years it's been so active."
Australia also issued a travel advisory saying visitors were "strictly prohibited" from visiting the volcano.
Vanuatu was rocked by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake on Friday, prompting a brief tsunami warning. The archipelago, which lies between Australia and Fiji and north of New Zealand, was hit by three major quakes in October.
Iceland's ash cloud has been severely disrupting European air travel since April, widely affecting airports and closing down airspace in the continent's north for a week.
Last week, eruptions in Guatemala and Ecuador killed two people, forced thousands to flee and shut down two airports, smothering runways in ash.
wiki:
quote:Mount Yasur is an active volcano on Tanna Island, Vanuatu (lat/long 19.52 S, 169.43 E) with a height of 361 m (1,184 ft) above sea level, located on the coast near Sulphur Bay. It lies to the southeast of the taller Mount Tukosmera, which was active in the Pleistocene. It has a largely unvegetated pyroclastic cone with a nearly-circular summit crater 400 m in diameter. It is a stratovolcano, caused by the eastward-moving Indo-Australian Plate being subducted under the westward-moving Pacific Plate. It has been erupting nearly continuously for centuries, although it can usually be approached safely. Its eruptions, which often occur several times an hour, are classified as Strombolian or Vulcanian.
The glow of the volcano was apparently what attracted Captain James Cook on the first European journey to the island in 1774. Today the mountain is a sacred area for the John Frum cargo cult. Members of the cult revere John Frum, a deified messenger who foretold the bringing of wealth to the island by American forces, and believe he resides in Mount Yasur with his countrymen. The village of Sulphur Bay, the center of the movement, claims the volcano as part of their territory.
Because of the importance of the volcano to the tourism industry in Tanna, the local government has created levels to restrict people's access:
Level 0 - Low activity, access to the crater allowed; Level 1 - Normal activity, access to the crater allowed; Level 2 - Moderate to high activity, lava bombs may land beyond the crater rim, access to the crater is closed; Level 3 - Severe activity with loud explosions, lava bombs ejected up to hundreds of metres outside the crater and large plumes of smoke and ash, access to the summit zone is closed; Level 4 - Major eruption affecting large areas around the volcano and possibly other parts of Tanna and even neighbouring islands, all access closed.

quote:Volcano erupts in Mariana's
SAIPAN, Northern Marianas (AP) — A volcanic eruption near the Pacific's Northern Mariana Islands shot clouds of ash and vapor nearly eight miles into the sky, federal scientists said.
The eruption occurred early Saturday and appeared to come from an underwater volcano off Sarigan, a sparsely inhabited island about 100 miles north of the U.S. commonwealth's main island of Saipan.
The Northern Marianas are about 3,800 miles southwest of Hawaii.
USGS volcanologist Game McGimsey said Sunday that scientists are still trying to pinpoint the source but evidence is pointing to an underwater mountain.
"People on the island (Sarigan) heard a loud explosion and almost immediately there was a heavy ash fall which turned to a light fall fairly quickly," McGimsey told The Associated Press. He said there was no ash in Saipan or Guam.
The eruption was fairly brief and no other volcanic clouds have been detected, said McGimsey, who is based in Anchorage, Alaska. Scientists don't know if the undersea activity is continuing.
Satellite images showed the cloud reaching to 40,000 feet. But the USGS said it was largely water vapor and strong winds were dispersing it.
McGimsey said researchers flew over the area Sunday and spotted discolored water presumably over the volcanic vent, estimated at 1,000 feet beneath sea level.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taal_Volcanoquote:Alert level 2 raised at Taal volcano
By Arnell Ozaeta and Helen Flores (The Philippine Star) Updated June 09, 2010 12:00 AM
Batangas, Philippines – The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has raised the alert level at Taal volcano from 1 to 2 due to the increasing frequency of volcanic earthquakes in the area.
Taal, located 65 kilometers south of Manila, is one of the most unstable of the country’s 22 known active volcanoes with 33 recorded eruptions, the last one in 1977.
Experts raised the second of a five-level alert on Taal yesterday. The Phivolcs said volcanic quakes in the area have been occurring since April and the crater lake was heating up.
Allan Loza, officer-in-charge of Phivolcs Talisay said based on their monitoring, the volcanic earthquakes detected per day since April 26 have raised to 32 high frequency volcanic earthquakes and continuously increasing as of presstime.
Subsequently, the Phivolcs immediately released an advisory preventing the public to visit the crater area of Taal, specifically the Daang Kastila trail.
In addition, a low frequency type volcanic earthquake was also detected since June 2.
Meanwhile, the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council (RDCC) in Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) said it had alerted nine Batangas towns after the alert level status of Taal volcano was raised to level 2 on Tuesday.
“We have advised our Batangas Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council (PDCC) to issue a memorandum to all concerned municipalities regarding the alert level 2,” said RDCC director Vicente Tomazar.
The nine towns in Batangas province include Agoncillo, San Nicolas, Santa Teresita, Laurel, Lemery, Talisay, Tanauan City, Balete, and Mataas na Kahoy.
Officials of the tourist city of Tagaytay in Cavite, from which Taal volcano is also viewed, were also alerted to prohibit its tourists from trekking to the crater which is considered to be a danger zone.
Tomazar said if the alert level status hits level 3 under continuous monitoring, that is the time the authorities would activate its contingency plan and enforce evacuation of residents.
Phivolcs said the temperature measurement of the main crater of the lake had increased to 34°C as of May 24, higher by 2°C from the previous measurement on May 11.

De vulkaan staat nog steeds onder observatie:
quote:LOS POCITOS, Guatemala — Thousands of tourists are flocking to Guatemala's Pacaya volcano to see the glowing rivers of lava cascading down its slopes, worrying officials who say they're risking their lives two weeks after a deadly eruption.
Pacaya National Park was closed even before the May 27 explosion, which killed a reporter who got too close and was hit by a shower of volcanic rock. But visitors are bypassing the usual route up the mountain and going instead to a private farm in the village of Los Pocitos, where locals will take them to the pyroclastic flows for a $1.25 a head.
"Just this weekend 2,000 people or more came by," said Lourdes Barillas, who oversees the collection of funds — intended to help rebuild the hundreds of homes destroyed by the eruption.
The lava puts on a particularly incandescent show at night, attracting both foreign and Guatemalan tourists who say they feel safe because hundreds are still living nearby. Some throw sticks or plantain leaves into the lava to watch them catch fire instantly.
"Before, I was worried," Canadian traveler Alexandre Cagne said. "But now I'm calm. It doesn't look like something violent that can explode."
"I'm not scared because we came with a guide who has 18 years of experience," Spanish tourist Ana Villen added.
Emergency officials say the danger is real, and are asking guides not to take people up the mountain.
"This is dangerous," David de Leon, emergency response spokesman, said Monday.
Francisco Valdez, a geophysicist with Guatemala's Institute of Seismology and Volcanos who has studied the volcano, said it is best not to get too close to the lava.
But if Pacaya erupts again it is most likely to do so gradually, he said, adding that a rain of lava and rock is out of character with its usual behavior.

Baekdu Wikipediaquote:Mt Baekdu eruption in next few years
The April 14 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland sent volcanic ash clouds flying on currents and blanketing European skies. For five days after the eruption, 313 airports were shut down and 82,000 flights were canceled, causing a major disruption in air transportation. The online edition of the U.S. diplomatic journal Foreign Policy has named Merapi in Indonesia, Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Yellowstone in the U.S., Santa Maria in Guatemala, and Avachinsky in Russia as volcanoes “ready to blow.”
Experts say Mount Baekdu in North Korea, which is classified as a dormant volcano, will see a major eruption in four to five years. This news spread like mythical rumors among Chinese volcanologists and was raised for discussion for the first time at a seminar hosted by the (South) Korea Meteorological Administration Wednesday. At the seminar “Volcanic Crisis on Mount Baekdu and Response,” earth science professor Yoon Seong-hyo of Busan National University said seismic activity on Mount Baekdu has surged to 240 times per month. He said the topography of the areas surrounding the mountain is rising, while trees are dying due to volcanic gas. These signs all herald volcanic activity.
The volcano in Iceland had a volcanic explosivity index of four, and the volcanic ash was just 0.11 cubic kilometers. Nevertheless, it brought the European aviation network to a standstill and caused massive damage to the world economy. According to scholars, when the Mount Baekdu volcano had a massive eruption in the mid-10th century, the volume of ash was 100 cubic kilometers and the volcanic explosivity index was 7.4. The eruption was reportedly one of the largest in human history. Given the magnitude of damage caused by the Iceland volcano, which generated ash clouds 1/1000th the volume of Mount Baekdu’s in the 10th century, it is difficult to even imagine the scale of damage that an eruption of the Mount Baekdu volcano could inflict.
A volcanic eruption can shift the flow of human civilization. Examples include Mount Vesuvius, which destroyed the ancient Roman city of Pompeii; Kikai Caldera, which destroyed the Neolithic civilization in Japan; and Laki in Iceland, which caused starvation that triggered the French Revolution when it erupted between 1783 and 1784. One academic theory suggests that the massive eruption of the Mount Baekdu volcano led to the collapse of the ancient Korean kingdom of Balhae. Amid mounting fears among the general public, the weather agency in Seoul has started preparation at the national level. Since Mount Baekdu is not under the country’s sovereignty, South Korea could face limits in its capacity to predict volcanic activity on the Korean Peninsula’s tallest mountain. People should not panic despite increased fears over a natural disaster, however, a phenomenon humans can do little about.

quote:Kamchatka volcano threatens air traffic
The Shiveluch volcano on the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula has erupted, producing an ash plume of 6.5 kilometers. Nearby towns are outside the so-called danger zone.
The alert status at Shiveluch was declared “orange”, which means that eruption is in progress and the volcano’s activity may pose a threat to the aircraft.
At the same time, seismologists have reported weak ash bursts from the neighboring Klyuchevskaya Sopka Volcano.
quote:Calamity declared in towns around Taal volcano
Filipino disaster officials have declared a state of calamity in a dozen cities and towns near Taal volcano.
The declaration in the province of Batangas allows local officials to release part of a 2.3- million peso ($50,000) calamity fund to the affected areas.
Alert level two remains in effect for Taal, which lies 30 miles south of the capital of Manila. No mandatory evacuations have been imposed but nearly 700 people have left their homes to stay in evacuation centers or with relatives.
Disaster officials have also prepared contingency plans for residents and tourists in Tagaytay, a city that lies on the rim of the volcano's outer crater.
The Philippine National Red Cross says it has six teams prepared to deploy in the event of an eruption.
A level two alert means that magma is moving towards the surface of the volcano, an activity that could lead to an eruption. It took effect early this month, although Taal has been restive since 1991. Alert level one was raised last year when the volcano began spewing bubbles and white steam.
Taal has an outer crater that holds an 18-mile wide lake created long ago during a massive eruption. The lake contains an island, called Volcano Island, which also has a crater lake.
Hiking on Volcano Island and boat rides to the smaller crater lake are popular activities in Tagaytay, which is a weekend and day trip destination for many in Manila because of its mild climate and rustic cottages.
quote:Russian volcano eruption continues
Russia’s northernmost active volcano on Kamchatka Peninsula is spewing plumes of ash at a height of more than 6 kilometers, the local branch of the National Geophysical Service reported on Sunday.
The 3,300m Mt. Shiveluch has been erupting for many days now with 80 underground temblors registered in the past 24 hours alone.
Scientists say the volcano poses significant danger to villages in the area, just like the nearby Klyuchevskaya volcano.

A U.S.-Indonesian underwater exploration project has found a giant volcano on the ocean floor north of Sulawesi, Indonesia.

The volcano rises more than 3,000 metres from the sea floor, which is about 5,500 metres deep at that point.
The NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer mapped the volcano using its sonar. The ship's underwater robot, Little Hercules, took pictures of the feature, known as Kawio Barat.
The project is a new way of exploring the ocean floor, because most of the scientists are on shore at command centres in Jakarta and Seattle, connected to the ship by satellite and high-speed internet, NOAA said.
When Little Hercules turns on its the lights and high-definition video cameras, "it’s live from the sea floor to scientists ashore,” said Holden, who's in Jakarta.
The researchers hope to find new phenomena and information about ocean ecosystems, acidification and climate change by investigating previously unexplored areas.
So far, Okeanos Explorer has mapped about 620,000 hectares of the Indonesian sea floor. With an Indonesian research vessel, the expedition will continue until Aug. 14.
The volcano is located west of Indonesia's Kawio Islands, which are between Indonesia and the Philippines
wow, we weten eigenlijk nog zo weinig over de onderwaterwereld

Wow, een 3 km hoge berg die 2.5 km onder de zeespiegel zit..... Zou die berg nu ook een eigen mini eco systeem hebben? We weten idd heel weinig over de zeebodem. Ironisch genoeg weten we meer over de melkweg....
Er is trouwens activiteit gemeten in een oude bekende vulkaan:

Taal volcano, Philippines
Taal volcano in the Philippines has been showing signs of unrest. Since 26th April volcanic earthquakes have increased. Between 11-24 May the temperature in the crater lake increased by 2-3 dec C. The composition of Main Crater Lake water has shown above normal values of Mg/Cl, SO4/Cl and Total Dissolved Solids. There has been ground steaming accompanied by hissing sounds on the northern and northeast sides of the main crater. PHIVOLCS has raised the status of the volcano to Alert Level 2, which indicates the volcano is undergoing magmatic intrusion which may lead to an eruption. The main crater has been placed off limits due to the risk of an eruption.

be nice or go away
Vorjog jaar hadden we plannen op naar de Taalvulkaan te gaan. Helaas door de vele orkanen toch maar niet gedaan
