Mayon Volcano belches ash

Legazpi City (11 August) -- Mayon volcano in Albay showed signs of restiveness after it spewed a 200-meter high ash column on Sunday manifesting an increased seismic activity, scientist said yesterday.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said the volcano exhibited a mild ash explosion with a 200-meter high ash column above the crater summit and drifted east-northeast of the province.

Dr. Ed Laguerta, Phivolcs resident volcanologist, said the ash ejection was recorded as explosion type earthquake which lasted for a minute.

Laguerta said during the past weeks, seismic activity had slightly increased and crater glow had slightly intensified.

Phivolcs leveling survey revealed that a slight swelling at the volcano's edifice indicates that magma might be building up.

Fear Lurks in Chile Volcano’s Shadow

Three months after erupting, for what scientists say they believe was the first time in 9,370 years, the Chaitén volcano continues to threaten to coat this formerly picturesque town with volcanic ash.

The aftereffects of the eruption in May destroyed half of the town of 5,000 residents. Uncertainty about if and when they will ever be able to return to the tranquil seaside life they cherished is tearing many of them apart.

What to do with the displaced has become a problem for Chilean officials, and Chaitén, tiny though it may be, has alerted them to the need to better understand the threats posed by hundreds of potentially active volcanoes in the country.




Also, quake activity in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands is up, but it's a small increase in number and intensity. Nothing I can link to specifically, but it's there.
