Alaska , Shishaldin :

Unrest continues. Minor seismic activity and infrasound were detected at the volcano. Numerous pilot reports of steam emissions were received yesterday afternoon. The plume was longer than usual, but this is likely due to favorable atmospheric conditions and not increased volcanic gas emissions. Satellite data from yesterday afternoon showed typical sulfur dioxide emissions from the volcano. No other activity was observed in satellite data.

Local seismic and infrasound sensors, web cameras, and a geodetic network are used to monitor Shishaldin Volcano. In addition to the local monitoring network, AVO uses nearby geophysical networks, regional infrasound and lightning data, and satellite images to detect eruptions.

Indonesia , Lewotobi Laki-laki :

An eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki occurred on Monday, June 8, 2026, at 1:12 PM WITA. The observed ash column rose to approximately 2,200 m above the summit (approximately 3,784 m above sea level). This ash column was gray and dense, oriented to the west and northwest. The eruption was recorded by a seismograph with a maximum amplitude of 47.3 mm and a duration of 83 seconds.

Seismic Observations:
Three eruption earthquakes with amplitudes ranging from 29.6 to 47.3 mm and durations of 71 to 155 seconds.
Five non-harmonic tremors with amplitudes ranging from 2.9 to 7.4 mm and durations of 60 to 75 seconds.
A low-frequency earthquake with an amplitude of 5.9 mm and a duration of 21 seconds.
Six tectonic earthquakes, spaced apart, with amplitudes ranging from 2.9 to 47.3 mm and durations from 28 to 400 seconds.

Chile , Villarica :

New explosions at Villarrica volcano linked to lava lake rise

The increased activity recorded in recent hours at Villarrica Volcano could be linked to the lava lake drawing closer to the crater’s surface, according to the Southern Andes Volcanological Observatory (OVDAS).

Early Sunday morning, the volcano again recorded explosions visible from the crater, similar to those that occurred Friday evening, ejecting columns of material reaching up to 460 meters in height. The activity remains under observation. Ian Gorayeb, director of the National Service for Risk and Disaster Prevention (SENAPRED) of La Araucanía, explained that the OVDAS report is based on recordings from surveillance cameras and acoustic sensors installed near the volcano.

“They detected increased activity associated with limited-impact explosions in the crater. Furthermore, the seismic signal did not show significant variations in amplitude. However, the report concludes that, given that this is an open-duct volcanic system with shallow lava flows, sudden explosions are not a significant factor,” he explained.

Moreover, long-period seismicity was observed during peak activity hours, suggesting increased fluid dynamics within the volcano. This confirms that Villarrica volcano continues to exhibit increased activity, possibly linked to the lava lake moving closer to the surface, a characteristic phenomenon of this volcano, which remains on green alert and under constant surveillance.

Ecuador , Sangay :

DAILY REPORT ON THE STATE OF SANGAY VOLCANO, Sunday, June 7, 2026.
Geophysical Information Institute – EPN.

Surface Activity Level: High, Surface Trend: No Change
Internal Activity Level: Moderate, Internal Trend: No Change

Seismicity: From June 6, 2026, 11:00 AM to June 7, 2026, 11:00 AM:

Seismicity:
Explosion (EXP): 187

Rain/Lahars:
Precipitation has been recorded in the volcano area, but it has not triggered mudflows or debris flows. Heavy rainfall could remobilize accumulated material, generating mudflows and debris flows that could cascade down the volcano’s flanks and into nearby rivers.

Emission Column/Ash:
Due to adverse weather conditions, no gas or ash emissions were observed via the monitoring camera system or satellite imagery. Similarly, the Washington VAAC has not reported any ash clouds associated with this volcano.

Other Monitoring Parameters:
The MIROVA-VIIRS 375 satellite system recorded four thermal anomalies, and the MIROVA-VIIRS 750 satellite system recorded one in the past 24 hours.

Observation:
From yesterday afternoon until the publication of this report, the volcano remained mostly shrouded in clouds.

Alert level: Yellow
