The largest event was a small earthquake of magnitude 2.2 on March 23, at 00:25 AM MST, located about 16 miles north northwest of Lake Village, WY.

The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) provides long-term monitoring of volcanic and earthquake activity in the Yellowstone National Park region. Yellowstone is the site of the largest and most diverse collection of natural thermal features in the world and the first National Park. YVO is one of the five USGS Volcano Observatories that monitor volcanoes within the United States for science and public safety.

Sinabung, Indonesie :


The eruption of the volcano Sinabung continuous and ever hurling pyroclastic flows. The one we can see in the picture accompanying the article was photographed today April 1, 2015. In fact, as impressive as they are, these glowing avalanches do not change the situation on the ground . The level alert of the Sinabung is maintained at 3 (Siaga) and villages are evacuated within 3 kilometers of the volcano. More than 18 000 people had to leave their homes in August 2010 when the eruption began. Many families have returned to their homes and others were relocated to less exposed areas to the wrath of the volcano .
