Volcanic activity on Italy's southern island of Stromboli have prompted authorities to raise the alert level from orange to red, the highest level. Residents were urged to follow the instructions of the local civil defence authorities on the small volcanic island north of Sicily. The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said increased volcanic activity had been detected at Mount Stromboli. Lava and ash had poured out of the volcano and into the sea, INGV said. Only a few hundred people normally live on Stromboli island. Many tourists travel there by sea from the mainland or ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - One of the world's most active volcanoes has erupted again, with lava spewing from Kilauea in Hawaii on Wednesday. Footage showed fissures have opened up at the base of a crater on the volcano, which regularly springs to life, with vulcanologists calling the eruption "dynamic." Scientists at the United States Geological Survey said they began detecting activity early on Wednesday morning, all well within the confines of the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and away from population centers. "High levels of volcanic gas are the primary hazard of concern, as this hazard can ha...

Kailua Kona (United States) (AFP) - The world's largest volcano, which has offered a spectacular weeks-long show in its first eruption for almost four decades, has gone quiet, scientists in Hawaii said Tuesday. At the height of the flare-up, Mauna Loa spewed fountains of lava 200 feet (60 meters) into the sky, and sent rivers of molten rock gushing down its sides, wowing vulcanologists and helicopter-riding tourists. Huge fissures on the volcano, which makes up the bulk of Hawaii's Big Island, vented tons of gas, and sprayed slivers of volcanic glass -- known as Pele's Hair. But on Tuesday, ex...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Hawaii has activated its National Guard to support the response to the first eruption of the world's biggest volcano in almost 40 years, with lava threatening a key highway. Twenty National Guard members were deployed "to assist Hawaii County with traffic control and other roles in the Mauna Loa eruption," the Pacific island state's emergency management agency announced in a tweet Monday. Mauna Loa, on the US archipelago's largest island, erupted on November 27 and continues to spew rivers of molten rock on its northern slope. While the flow has slowed significantly in rec...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Fountains of lava and rivers of molten rock were spewing from the world's biggest volcano Friday, as the first eruption there in almost four decades showed no signs of abating. Two fissures on Mauna Loa were venting huge volumes of viscous rock and gases from deep within the Earth, in a thunderous display of the power of nature. Vulcanologists said they were watching lava flows heading towards a highway on Hawaii's largest island, though they still believe the eruption, which began Sunday, posed no immediate threat to humans. "The Northeast Rift Zone eruption of Mauna Loa c...
