New Zealand’s White Island volcano stirs, sends out ash clouds

Posted on February 24, 2013by The Extinction Protocol

February 24, 2013 – NEW ZEALAND — White Island is stirring again but volcanologists say activity within the crater is only minor. GNS has monitoring cameras in place at the volcano which take photos of the crater every 15 minutes and scientists noticed an increased level of activity between 11.30am and 1.30pm today. Duty volcanologist Arthur Jolly said the ash was confined to within the crater and would not affect aviation in the area. He was unsure as to what the rest of the weekend had to hold. “In certain volcanic systems you can see an evolution in the pattern and we know from many volcanoes worldwide that some volcanoes follow a pattern that leads to an eruption,” Jolly said. “But in this case, this volcano doesn’t follow this kind of set script.” By the end of last month the hot crater lake on White Island completely dried up as explosive rocks, mud and gas were thrown into the air from the active volcano. The volcano has been spewing a steady stream of gas since activity heated up in December. It’s the most active the volcano has been since 2000. –Stuff [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]

The map is good for the contours of the area: these 2 quakes occurred between Vulcano and Etna at the time when Etna was most active. I have a question about the Aeolian ‘plain’, and whether it might be another caldera??

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

‘The present shape of the Aeolian Islands is the result of volcanic activity over a period of 260,000 years. There are two active volcanoes – Stromboli and Vulcano. The volcanic activity of steaming fumaroles and thermal waters are on most of the islands. Only the one on Stromboli, the northernmost island, is still active.
The Aeolian Islands as seen from space.

Scientifically the archipelago is defined as a “volcanic arc”. Geology explains the origin of the Aeolian Islands is due to movement of the Earth’s crust as a result of plate tectonics. The African continental shelf is in constant movement towards Europe. The resulting collision has created a volcanic area with ruptures in the Earth’s crust with consequent eruptions of magma. The “Eolian Arc” extends for more than 140 kilometres, but the area of geological instability caused by the collision of Africa and Europe is very much larger. It includes Sicily, Calabria, Campania together with Greece and the Aegean islands.

The complex of the eight Aeolian Islands, covering an area of 1,600 square kilometres, originated from a great plain at the bottom of the Tyrrhenian sea. Emissions of lava from depths of up to 3,600 metres resulted in the formation of the Eolian Islands, together with Ustica and a series of submarine volcanoes named Magnani, Vavilov, Marsili and Palinuro, as well as two that are unnamed.’

Supervolcano Campi Flegrei, Italy [link to hisz.rsoe.hu]
The ground of the Campi Flegrei ("burning fields"), also known as the Phlegraean Fields, has risen more in recent weeks than it has in a long time. This does not necessary indicate a heightened risk of an eruption, however, says Thomas Wiersberg, a scientific drilling expert for the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam...
..."Many houses cracked," after which the ground deformation sharply subsided, Wiersberg said. "But it's true that the uplift has increased again during the past two or three months." An eruption could have serious consequences for the heavily populated region with knock-on effects for the whole of Europe. There could also be worldwide impact, for example in the form of climatic changes. No forecasts have been made thus far. Since super volcanoes seldom undergo massive eruptions, empirical data is lacking. "It's easy to assert there'll be an eruption sometime. That doesn't help us, though. We need more specific information," Wiersberg said. He said the drilling project aimed in part to monitor the Phlegraean Fields over the long term and gain more knowledge of what had occurred earlier in the super volcano. "First we've got to understand what's happening under the surface," Wiersberg said. Then it may be possible to say more about the likelihood of an eruption.
Fears of nearby residents - and some scientists - that the drilling could "awaken" the super volcano have proved to be unfounded. "Technically, everything went smoothly. No additional volcanic activities were triggered, nor were there any problems with gases or fluids," he noted. It has not yet been decided when the scientists will continue their project and begin drilling to a depth of 3 kilometres. "At the moment it's mainly a financial question," Wiersberg said. "There'll be deep drilling when Italy provides the necessary funds."

Campi Flegrei
[link to www.volcano.si.edu]
Campi Flegrei is a large 13-km-wide caldera on the outskirts of Naples that contains numerous phreatic tuff rings and pyroclastic cones. The caldera margins are poorly defined and on the south lie beneath the Gulf of Pozzuoli. Episodes of dramatic uplift and subsidence within the dominantly trachytic caldera have occurred since Roman times. The earliest known eruptive products are dated 47,000 years before present (BP)...

and close to south
Campi Flegrei Mar Sicilia
[link to www.volcano.si.edu]
Campi Flegrei del Mar di Sicilia (Phlegraean Fields of the Sicily Sea) is composed of a group of submarine volcanoes SW of Sicily. The volcanoes were constructed within a submarine depression about 1000 m deep in the Strait of Sicily between the SW coast of Sicily and the NE tip of Tunisia, forming submarine banks that are capped by cones that rise to near sea level...

with famous Empedocle volcano system (from this thread):

this is also very interesting region. Add to it continuation of Campi Flegrei to south and you found there no less, and possible even more dangerous Empedocle volcano
with also clear signs of awakening:
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
Empedocles is a large underwater volcano located 40 km off the southern coast of Sicily named after the Greek philosopher Empedocles who believed that everything on Earth was made up of the four elements.
According to Giovanni Lanzafame, of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the volcanic structure is around 400 meters high, with a base 30 km long and 25 km wide.

From 17 to 21 July of the previous (now past) year INGV made with a high resolution geophysical survey of the volcano with the scientific ship Astrea, which in particular has allowed him to establish the presence of monogenic nine craters on top of one of which is the island Ferdinandea

What if they will work as joint team?

whoa!

someone doing grinding work in the background on this one. still spectacular though..

i have to say those vids above are VERY much like the doom volcano dream I had a couple of years back, with the huge red fountaining lava. listen to the booms on the first vid too. doomy shit.

I think both explanations well, but as yet there are no additional data is difficult to give preference to any of them.
purely speculative - I would have preferred the first explanation, that is, an underwater eruption.
Why?

First, a very pretty spot, and much like the what we have seen for a long time near El Hierro

Secondly, I think that we are not seeing enough volcanic activity under the glacier in the surrounding areas (tremor, and so on),
so you can expect the melting of large volumes.

Third, all known volcanoes there are far enough away from the source of stain,
and in addition, well-defined estuaries to collect such large amounts of melted water I do not see.

Well, except that there is some new crack was formed?

so while I would consider rather the first option (unless, of course, rule out any industrial discharges?)

Advise them also read what we write about it here - they also will be useful to (this from our January discussions)

According to the Vanuatu Geohazards Observatory, villagers reported that minor activity at Ambae (also called Aoba) began in December 2012. The site observations made from January 30th to February 2nd 2013 confirmed that the activity of Lombenben volcano had changed significantly...
