Suwanose-jima volcano (Ryukyu Islands, Japan) activity update: strong degassing
Thu, 18 Jul 2013, 12:17 | BY: T
During an excursion to the crater yesterday, we found the volcano relatively calm. We observed only strong degassing from several vents in the crater of the volcano. The degassing was accompanied by relatively loud hissing and acoustic vibrations. Seismic activity is low, but there is continuous tremor, which might be caused by the degassing activity. According to local observers, no recent (past few weeks) explosions or ash emissions have occurred. - All news about: Suwanose-jima volcano
