Veniaminof volcano (Alaska Peninsula, USA) activity update

MODIS hot spot data for Veniaminof volcano showing the area of fresh lava flows (ModVolc, Univ. Hawaii)

Current seismic recording from Veniaminof (VNHG station, AVO)

Activity has not changed much, AVO reported, and consists of lava effusion from the intra-caldera vent and minor explosive activity (if any).
However, there is a slowly increasing trend, judging from seismic data (continuous tremor and increasing thermal hot spot visible on MODIS data).

Veniaminof volcano (United States) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 10 July-16 July 2013 (Continuing Activity)

AVO reported that the ongoing low-level eruption of Veniaminof, characterized by lava effusion and emission of minor amounts of ash and steam, continued during 10-16 July, indicated by nearly continuous volcanic tremor and occasional small explosions detected by the seismic network. Satellite images showed elevated surface temperatures at the cinder cone inside the caldera consistent with lava effusion. Images also showed that most of the lava flows traveled S of the cone a short distance (hundreds of meters). ... Read all

Veniaminof volcano (Alaska): continuing lava effusion and increase in seismic activity

A significant increase in seismic activity has occurred today, which could suggest that the eruption is gaining strength. During the past days, it continued at low but steady levels with no major changes. Read all

Veniaminof volcano (Alaska Peninsula, USA) activity update: effusion of lava flows

Small lava flows continue to be erupted from the intra-caldera cone, as seismic data (nearly continuous, low-level volcanic tremor) and satellite data indicate that show a hot spot around the cone. No significant explosive activity has been detected. ... Read all

AVO reported that the ongoing low-level eruption of Veniaminof, characterized by lava effusion and emission of minor amounts of ash and steam, continued during 3-9 July, indicated by nearly continuous volcanic tremor and occasional small explosions detected by the seismic network. Satellite images showed elevated surface temperatures at the cinder cone inside the caldera consistent with lava effusion most days. Images also showed that most of the lava flows traveled S of the cone a short distance (hundreds of meters). ... Read all

Veniaminof volcano (Alaska Peninsula, USA) activity update

Effusive and weak explosive activity continue. Volcanic tremor and small explosions continue to be detected in seismic data and satellite data continue to show elevated surface temperatures at the intracaldera cone. A light colored plume is rising above the cone to just above the rim of the caldera to about 8,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level and at night, a persistent glow is visible. (AVO) ... Read all

Veniaminof volcano (United States) - Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report for 26 June-2 July 2013 (New Activity / Unrest)

AVO reported that the ongoing low-level eruption of Veniaminof, characterized by lava effusion and emission of minor amounts of ash and steam, continued during 26 June-2 July, indicated by nearly continuous volcanic tremor and occasional small explosions detected by the seismic network. Satellite images showed elevated surface temperatures at the cinder cone inside the caldera consistent with lava effusion. During 26-30 June web camera images from Perryville (32 km SSE) showed a small light-colored plume rising above the cone to just above the rim of the caldera, and night time images showed persistent incandescence from the cone. ...
