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 ...

Scientists Identify Seismic Trigger Before 2022 Tonga Eruption; Insight Could Improve Tsunami Warnings
A seismic wave recorded 15 minutes before the massive 2022 Tonga eruption could help scientists improve early-warning systems for remote oceanic volcanoes and mitigate tsunami risks. Researchers found that a rupture beneath the volcano’s caldera allowed seawater to mix with magma, triggering the eruption. This discovery may provide critical lead-...

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....

Moon Had Surprisingly Recent Volcanic Activity, Samples Confirm
Volcanoes were erupting on the Moon as recently as 120 million years ago, evidence collected by a Chinese spacecraft suggests. Until the last few years, scientists had thought volcanic activity ended on the Moon around 2 billion years ago.
