Joking aside.

Cotopaxi is a big problem.

Ecuadorian Volcano Threatens 325000

A Japanese Volcano, Mount Aso, erupts;

Possibly worth a mention?

If Bardarbunga was to erupt big style it would be rather interesting to say the least.

However we could also see another rifting eruption to release any build up of magma. That aside there are e usual cheats of things opin a geological time frame. "Soon" could be a few months, years or decades. (Or it could be next week!)

This, a few days ago from Jon Frimann.

Increase in activity at Tungnafellsjökull volcano;

A jökulhlaup (glacier flood) is being reported stemming from Vatnajökull today - I wonder if this will lead to anything?

From: http://en.vedur.is/#tab=vatnafar

Floodwater is beginning to drain from the eastern Skaftá ice-cauldron, located beneath Vatnajökull. According to GPS measurements, the ice-surface above the lake began to subside late on 27 September. The rate of subsidence is increasing progressively, reflecting heightened discharge from the lake. The flood (jökulhlaup) will travel a distance of 40 km beneath western Vatnajökull, before entering the Skaftá river. The closest gauging station on Skaftá is at Sveinstindur, about 28 km downstream from the ice margin. The jökulhlaup will reach Sveinstindur at some point between Wednesday evening and the early hours of Thursday. For details about flood hazards, see the news article on our home-page.

Quite a dramatic photo of the glacier subsiding ( 4m in last 24 hours) as the cauldron beneath empties out.

The rate of subsidence continues to be impressive, and had increased to something approaching 3m per hour. At 03.00hrs it was was measured at 34.5m.

I have not looked at the 2011 event Doc, but flooding is going to become a major issue soon, especially if the glacier collapses.

The Skaftá outburst flood has been detected at Sveinstindur. Floodwater will reach populated areas of Skaftárdalur at midday today, where localised flooding is expected. A further update will be published later today.

All very interesting - I see the flow rate has gone from around 100 or so m3/s to over 700 at Skafta now and the water level has reached 5 metres. There were a couple of quakes in the area yesterday too.

Bardarbunga is still rumbling fairly regularly with quite an impressive little tremor spike last night:

Unclear yet whether much will come of it though...

Soputan volcano (Sulawesi, Indonesia) has produced quite a spectular eruption, plus news of other recently erupting volcanoes; Bromo (Java, Indonesia) and Feugo (Guatemala),
