Swarm of 130 Earthquakes Rattles One of Iceland's Largest Volcanoes, Signal Possible Eruption Risk
Over 130 earthquakes struck Iceland’s Bárðarbunga volcano within hours on January 14, including a significant 5.1 magnitude quake. The Bárðarbunga system, Iceland's largest volcanic zone, has a history of major eruptions, with the 2014–2015 event producing a lava field larger than Manhattan. Experts at the Icelandic Meteorological Office ar...

Antarctica’s Melting Ice Could Awaken Hidden Volcanoes, Impact Climate Change
As Antarctica’s ice sheet continues to melt, scientists warn it could awaken over 100 hidden volcanoes beneath the surface. The loss of ice reduces pressure on magma chambers, allowing the magma to expand and potentially trigger eruptions. This could lead to increased volcanic activity, releasing gases and heat that may accelerate ice melt, weake...

Scientists Predict Under Sea Volcano Eruption Near Oregon Coast in 2025
Axial Seamount, an undersea volcano located off the coast of Oregon, is showing signs of an impending eruption, with scientists predicting it could occur as early as 2025. The volcano’s surface has been swelling, and seismic activity is increasing, both of which mirror patterns seen before previous eruptions. Researchers have been closely monitor...

NASA Satellite Image Reveals Unique Horseshoe-Shaped Deception Island in Antarctica
NASA's Landsat 8 satellite captured an image of Deception Island, a horseshoe-shaped semi-submerged volcanic caldera located in the South Shetland Islands. Created by an eruption approximately 4,000 years ago, it remains vital for scientific research and as a safe harbour for ships navigating the harsh Southern Ocean. Deception Island is home to th...

NASA Captures Stream of Lava Flowing from Iceland’s Volcanic Eruption
NASA’s satellite images have captured the ongoing volcanic eruption near Iceland's Blue Lagoon. The eruption, which started on 20 November, caused lava to flow from a fissure, with the nearby Blue Lagoon spa and Grindavík being evacuated. The infrared visuals reveal lava glowing brighter than Reykjavík. While the eruption is ongoing, lava flow ...

2022 Tonga Eruption: Public Observations and Scientific Data Illuminate Hunga Volcano's Global Impact
The Hunga volcano eruption near Tonga on January 15, 2022, sent shockwaves and tsunamis across the globe, creating low, booming sounds heard as far away as Alaska. In New Zealand, more than 2,100 public observations of the eruption, from rumbling sounds to animals reacting, helped scientists at GNS Science cross-verify seismic and atmospheric data....
