Kilauea, located on Hawaii's Big Island, is showing signs of imminent activity, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Summit inflation -- or the physical swelling or uplifting of the ground surface of the volcano's peak -- is underway, it said.

Kīlauea has erupted episodically since Dec. 23, 2024, within the summit caldera. Episode 47 of lava fountaining happened for 9 hours May 14-15. No unusual activity is noted along Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone or Southwest Rift Zone.

It's a truism among oceanographers that there is more accurate mapping of the surface of the moon and Mars than of the deep-ocean floor. That's especially true for the Bismarck Sea, a relatively deep body of water north of Papua New Guinea.

On May 20, 2026, Indonesia’s Dukono volcano rattled off 190 separate explosions in a single 24-hour stretch, punching ash columns to altitudes that initial reports describe as roughly two miles above the coastline,

New research from the University of St Andrews has precisely dated an eruption from Newberry Volcano and discovered that its ash spread more than 5,000 km across the globe, far further than previously thought for an eruption of its size.

Scientists say a massive 2022 volcano eruption may have helped break down methane, offering new clues in the fight against climate change.
