This Week in Volcano News; Iceland’s Reykjanes Volcano Erupts; Lewotobi Pyroclastic Flow

This week, an unexpectedly voluminous yet brief eruption occurred at Iceland’s Reykjanes volcano. Elsewhere, the Lewotobi volcano produced its first eruption in 20 years, generating a pyroclastic flow which was slightly longer than 3 kilometers in length. And, on the island of Java, the alert level was raised at the Raung volcano.
