About this volcano page

This page provides an overview of volcanic activity around the world, together with additional monitoring of selected volcanoes in Italy and Iceland.

Information is updated automatically throughout the day using the Smithsonian / USGS weekly activity report as the main source, with NASA EONET and recent volcano hazard reports providing additional checks.

An open NASA EONET record is an event catalogue entry, not confirmation that a volcano is erupting at this moment. Use the report status and linked observatory for the latest local assessment.

If you are travelling to an affected area, always follow advice issued by the local authorities and official volcano observatories.
