NEWS - Ausbruch des Vulkans Kilauea auf Hawaii
December 6 - Volcano Village, Hawaii, United States: An eruptive plume rises from the summit of K?lauea volcano, visible from Highway 11 near Volcano Village on the Island of Hawai?i. This plume was generated during episode 38 of lava fountaining within Halema?uma?u crater, which took place on December 6, 2025. USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists monitored and measured the K?lauea summit eruption lava fountaining episode 38 from multiple vantage points in Halema‘uma‘u crater on the Island of Hawai‘i. Fountains from the south vent reached over 1000 feet (300 meters) in height and inclined to the south, destroying and covering the V3 livestreaming camera. (K.

December 6, 2025 - Hawaii, United States: During K?lauea summit eruption episode 38 on December 6, "tephra-nadoes" made a return, as seen to the left of the lava fountain in this photo. Swirling winds in the tephra fallout plume led to this short-lived twister, spotted by a field crew on the southern rim of Halema?uma?u crater. The location where V3cam was buried by the material falling out of the inclined south vent fountain is visible in the center of the image, as a small hill rising above the surrounding landscape. (M.

December 6, 2025 - Hawaii, United States: The volcanic landscape of K?lauea volcano being reshaped during episode 38 of the eruption in Halema?uma?u. This view, taken from the K?lauea Overlook in Hawai?i Volcanoes National Park, shows the inclined lava fountains from the south vent, steam rising from the recently deposited tephra on the crater floor, an eruptive plume rising bouyantly above the vents, and the new pu?u (hill) that has grown on the rim of the crater. Downwind, the volcanic gases scatter the sunlight, causing the brown hue. (D. Downs/ USGS / Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) *** Local Caption *** 08154269

Picture MUST credit:Tokyo Metropolitan Government
Japanese authorities have released a harrowing AI-generated video showing what an eruption of the country’s iconic Mount Fuji might look like and its effect on capital city Tokyo.
The sacred mountain is an active volcano 60 miles southwest of Japan's densely populated capital city of Tokyo where 37 million people live.
It has been dormant for over 300 years with the last eruption in 1707.
But the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has created the film to show how the city would be covered in ash that would stop all transport, leave supermarket shelves empty and pose health hazards.
The video shows an enormous grey plume of ash and smoke towering in the sky above Tokyo, spreading a dark, vast cloud over the city.
It cuts to scenes of the capital buried under a thick layer of ash.
A voiceover warns: “The moment may arrive without any warning.
“Since we do not know when Mount Fuji will erupt and blanket us with volcanic ash, to protect ourselves and our loved ones we need to arm ourselves with facts.”
It also warns of how the volcanic ash is made up of fine, jagged particles lilt to affect breathing and being on asthma attacks.
The authority advises citizens to keep a supply of tinned food and bottled water along with face masks and a torch.
When Fuji erupted in 1707, it expelled 850million cubic metres of volcanic material over the course of 16 days.
OPS: A clip from the public information film about the effects of a Mount Fuji eruption and the measures people must take if that happens.

Mount Fuji AI eruption warning to Tokyo residents

Japanese authorities have released a harrowing AI-generated video showing what an eruption of the country’s iconic Mount Fuji might look like and its effect on capital city Tokyo.
The sacred mountain is an active volcano 60 miles southwest of Japan's densely populated capital city of Tokyo where 37 million people live.
It has been dormant for over 300 years with the last eruption in 1707.
But the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has created the film to show how the city would be covered in ash that would stop all transport, leave supermarket shelves empty and pose health hazards.
The video shows an enormous grey plume of ash and smoke towering in the sky above Tokyo, spreading a dark, vast cloud over the city.
It cuts to scenes of the capital buried under a thick layer of ash.
A voiceover warns: “The moment may arrive without any warning.
“Since we do not know when Mount Fuji will erupt and blanket us with volcanic ash, to protect ourselves and our loved ones we need to arm ourselves with facts.”
It also warns of how the volcanic ash is made up of fine, jagged particles lilt to affect breathing and being on asthma attacks.
The authority advises citizens to keep a supply of tinned food and bottled water along with face masks and a torch.

What lies beneath: the hidden caves buried under Auckland back yards
Rich history to 200 caves - from housing a secret printing press to widow's shelter - as steps taken to protect the 'sacred' sites.
Aucklanders are familiar with the volcanic terrain of their city above ground, living side by side with 53 volcanoes. Yet many are unaware of the extraordinary landscape concealed beneath their feet. Formed by volcanic eruptions, lava caves and tunnels are rare globally, and the sprawling patchwork beneath Auckland is unique to New Zealand. The city sits on top of roughly 200 known caves with a new cave being discovered every month.
270224 Inside Sean Jacob at the entrance to his backyard lava cave in Mt Eden, Auckland. Sean bought the property in the 1990’s to protect the lava cave beneath it. Auckland's underground lava cave network - with geological and social history.
The caves have been used over the years as everything from Maori burial sites to mushroom farms, to housing a covert communist printing press.
They form an expansive network underneath the city, and now researchers are attempting to map them all, and in the process discovering a new cave roughly every month.

'One day it will just go off': are Naples' volcanic craters about to blow?
Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient craters in the south of Italy, is more active than Vesuvius, and residents live with daily tremors.
Solfatara is located in Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient volcanic craters near the southern Italian city of Naples, parts of which were described in a study this month as edging towards "breaking point".
The sprawling volcanic area, home to at least 360,000 people across the seven most at-risk inhabited hubs, is not as well known as nearby Mount Vesuvius, whose eruption in AD79 wiped out the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Part of the reason is because you can't see it: instead of resembling a characteristic cone-shaped volcano, Campi Flegrei, which can be translated as "burning fields", is a seven-mile-long caldera, or depression, formed 39,000 years ago after an eruption emptied it of magma. Subsequent eruptions - the last in 1538 - created a series of small hills and craters.
But looks can be deceiving. Campi Flegrei is much more active than Vesuvius, and is among the most dangerous volcanoes in Europe.

'One day it will just go off': are Naples' volcanic craters about to blow?
Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient craters in the south of Italy, is more active than Vesuvius, and residents live with daily tremors.
Solfatara is located in Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient volcanic craters near the southern Italian city of Naples, parts of which were described in a study this month as edging towards "breaking point".
The sprawling volcanic area, home to at least 360,000 people across the seven most at-risk inhabited hubs, is not as well known as nearby Mount Vesuvius, whose eruption in AD79 wiped out the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Part of the reason is because you can't see it: instead of resembling a characteristic cone-shaped volcano, Campi Flegrei, which can be translated as "burning fields", is a seven-mile-long caldera, or depression, formed 39,000 years ago after an eruption emptied it of magma. Subsequent eruptions - the last in 1538 - created a series of small hills and craters.
But looks can be deceiving. Campi Flegrei is much more active than Vesuvius, and is among the most dangerous volcanoes in Europe.
