A wrap up of the week's volcanism, brought to you by Sally Kuhn Sennert and the USGS/SI Global Volcanism Program.
Highlights, not including Sarychev Peak, Redoubt and Shiveluch (busy week in the north Pacific), include:
- A small ash cloud was spotted at Bagana in Papua New Guinea.
- The Tavurvur cone at Rabaul (PNG) continues to glow at night and produce small ash/steam plumes.
- The Santiaguito dome at Santa Maria in Guatemala produced 8,000-10,000 foot / ~2.9-3.3 km ash plumes, along with a lahar that carried blocks over 1.5 m downstream from the volcano.
- A 25,000 foot / 7.6 km ash plume was spotted at Sangay in Ecuador.

Off The Cuff: Wish you were running for Congress in my state you would get my vote. The people need to wake up now. Obama is on the fast track moving us toward fascism. I, like some many others, was impressed with his speeches and his promise of change so I voted for him in the primary. However, I did my own research and found him to unamerican with a vision of forming a totalitarian government, with him as the dictator he did not get my vote in the general. The New American Tea Party is on the move across the country. Spread the word!!
