Fagradalsfjall (Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland): The new eruption, now called the “Geldingadalsgos” eruption by the Icelandic media, continues on a steady basis. It has been producing lava flows that advance slowly into the Geldingadal valley. The Icelandic Met Office and the local media have published many new photos of the ongoing eruption this morning.
The isolated location in the Geldingadalur valley means that there is no immediate danger to any infrastructure. Volcanic gases are not being blown over any city or village and are unlikely to cause problems, even if the wind changes direction, according to the Icelandic Met Office (IMO).

Sinabung (Sumatra, Indonesia): Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Darwin (VAAC) issued the following report: VA ERUPTION FOR FL100 MOV W OBS VA DTG: 21 / 1612Z

Dukono (Halmahera): Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin warned of a plume of volcanic ash that rose to an estimated altitude of 7,000 feet (2,100 m) or flight level 070.
The full report is as follows: VA CONTINUOUS ERUPTION FOR FL070 MOV NW OBS VA DTG: 21 / 1300Z at 7000 feet (2100 m)

Cleveland (Aleutian Islands, Alaska): (March 21st) The volcano’s alert level was raised to yellow again after the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) detected an increase in volcanic gas emissions and high surface temperatures through satellite data from 17 March.
“In addition, a local earthquake occurred on March 10 and was large enough to be measured on seismometers 100 km away on Umnak Island. These data indicate a potential for increased eruptive activity in Cleveland.” (GRANDMOTHER)
The volcano last erupted last June, when an explosion or series of explosions on June 2 produced a small ash cloud at 22,000 feet (7 km) in altitude. Cleveland explosions typically produce relatively small volcanic ash clouds that dissipate in a few hours; however, more significant ash emissions are possible.

Pacaya (Guatemala): Explosive activity continues. The Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington has warned of a plume of volcanic ash that has risen to an estimated altitude of 12,000 feet (3,700 m) or flight level 120 and is moving at 5 knots in the E direction.
The full report is as follows: CONS VA EMS for 12000 feet (3700 m)

Fuego (Guatemala): Explosive activity continues. The Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington has warned of a volcanic ash cloud that has risen to an estimated altitude of 16,000 feet (4,900 m) or flight level 160.
The full report is as follows: NEW VA EMS for 16,000 feet (4,900 m)

Sabancaya (Peru): Explosive activity continues. The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) in Buenos Aires has warned of a plume of volcanic ash that has risen to an estimated altitude of 25,000 feet (7600 m) or flight level 250 and is moving at 5 knots in the SW direction .
The full report is as follows: INTERMITTENT EMISSION for 25000 feet (7600 m)
