Mount Taftan in Iran shows signs of life

A volcano in southeastern Iran has nudged upward by about 3.5 inches (9 centimeters) in 10 months. This might sound like a small rise but it has big significance.
A new study used satellite data to spot the change and argues that pressure is building near the summit.
The volcano is Taftan. It has not erupted in human history, but the fresh signal says the system is stirring and needs eyes on it.


I'm no expert but I guess there are tons of these things that usually keep quiet.
 
Mount Mayon in the Philippines

Mayon Volcano in Albay logged 29 volcanic earthquakes and other seismic activities in the last 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said on Saturday.

In its 24-hour monitoring bulletin, Phivolcs said that the volcano also recorded 15 volcanic tremors which lasted for three to 53 minutes, 325 rockfalls, and one pyroclastic density current (PDC) signals or locally known as uson.


Pacific 'Ring of Fire' is almost always active somewhere
happily this seems to be a rural area.
 
Mount Bulusan, Philippines
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Wednesday warned of possible steam-driven eruptions at Mount Bulusan in Sorsogon due to increased seismic activity of the volcano.

Phivolcs raised the alarm after recording a total of 223 volcanic earthquakes in the 24 hours leading up to 12 a.m. on Thursday.

In an advisory, the Phivolcs said the volcanic earthquakes are caused by the movement of rocks underground, primarily happening about 2.5 kilometers deep beneath the northern part of the volcano.

The heightened seismic activity “could lead to steam-driven or phreatic eruptions” from the volcano’s summit, according to Phivolcs.


Pacific Ring of Fire. Again.
 
Mount Marapi, Sumatra, Indonesia
The Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) reported that Mount Marapi in West Sumatra Province had erupted by launching a volcanic ash column of approximately 2,000 meters above the peak.

The Acting Head of the Geological Agency, Lana Saria, in his statement in Jakarta, Saturday, said that the volcanic activity of the volcano with a height of around 4,891 meters above sea level was recorded at 08.42 WIB this morning.

"The observed ash column is gray with a thick intensity leaning towards the northeast. This eruption was recorded on the seismogram with a maximum amplitude of 30 mm and a temporary duration of one minute 25 seconds," he said.
