Paluweh volcano (Rokatenda)

New ash emissions occurred from Paluweh volcano (Rokatenda) [3] today, reaching an altitude of 8,000 ft (2.4 km).

Popocatépetl [4] in Mexico continues to produce small mostly steam emissions at high frequency (120 during 11-12 Nov), sometimes with small amounts of ash. The crater continues to glow at night.

Fuego volcano [5] has been relatively quiet during the past day, with no explosion reported by INSIVUMEH. The lava flow is still weakly active but has decreased to 200 m length.

The blocky lava flows descending the flanks of Santiaguito [6] have remained active, and there are occasional weak explosions from the dome.
Reventador volcano in Ecuador [7] remains the currently most active volcano in South America. The volcano observatory reported an new ash emission reaching 17,000 ft (about 5.2 km) altitude, i.e. an ash plume rising about 2 km above the volcano this morning.

The other volcanoes in Central and South America have not shown significant variations and mostly been quiet.

Sakurajima volcano [8] has been much calmer with only 1-2 weak to moderate explosions after the phase of intense explosions during 8-9 Nov.

A thermal anomaly was visible at Tinakula volcano [9] in the Solomon Islands on 23 Oct, suggesting that some intermittent activity could be going on there.
