Map of Kilauea volcano on Hawai'i

The week starts with little significant volcano activity to report. Some updates include:

Earthquake activity in or near the upper eastern rift zone of Kilauea volcano on Hawai'i [3] has been increasing. A magnitude 3 quake occurred in the northern part of the caldera today.
Lava flows southeast of Pu`u `O`o continued to be weakly active on the coastal plain.

Popocatépetl [4] has been decreasing again after rising over the past week. During 27-28 Oct, there was only about 1 emission per hour. Few of them produced small ash plumes.

Fuego volcano [5] has a few weak explosions and continues to alimentate the lava flow towards the Ash Canyon which is now about 400 m long.

Few weak ash explosions occur from the Santiaguito [6] lava dome and the block lava flows from its summit vent remain weakly active.

Occasional small ash eruptions continue to occur at Galeras volcano [7] in Colombia, such as today.

A thermal hotspot can still be seen at Michael volcano [8] in the South Sandwich Islands.

In the past days Sakurajima volcano [9] returned to average levels of activity and produced 1-2 mild explosions per day.
