Mexico’s Popocatépetl volcano: UFO hotspot or interdimensional portal?

October 06, 2025 -

Mexico's Popocatépetl volcano has long been a focal point for UFO [unidentified flying object] enthusiasts, but recent footage has reignited extraordinary claims that the smoldering crater may serve as an interdimensional portal for extraterrestrial visitors.

Over the past week, multiple glowing objects were captured on camera streaking across the sky near the active volcano, fueling speculation that this geological landmark could be far more than ...

Scientists discover volcano craters dotting surface of Mars

September 27, 2021 -

In a statement, NASA says that seven giant craters originally considered to be asteroid impact craters are actually post-eruption volcanic craters. Agency scientists notice that the seven calderas in Mars's Arabia Terra region are not perfectly round compared to those created by asteroids. They also observe signs of collapse, such as very deep floors and benches of rock near the walls, in the calderas.

The researchers follow up on earlier studies suggesting the volcanic ...

Lava from active Hawaiian volcano threatens geothermal power plant

May 23, 2018 -

Earlier this month the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island erupted, spewing lava and hurtling ash 30,000 feet in the air. And while the initial eruption didn’t last long, the volcano continued to be active in the days that followed.

Now, the lava flow is threatening to overtake a geothermal electric plant, which has forced scrambling workers to shut it down before it is destroyed and releases deadly toxic gases.

As reported by the U.K.’s Daily Mail, the threat ...

RED ALERT: Semisopochnoi volcano in Alaska expected to erupt soon

September 23, 2021 -

Seismic observations on the island show increasing eruptive activity. Scientists have upgraded the Aviation Color Code and Volcano Alert Level to a red warning as the volcano's ash plume rose to 15,000 feet into the atmosphere.

The volcano's ash emissions have increased both in frequency and intensity and are now visible on satellite images as it rises above the weather clouds. The ash cloud, which is blown by high winds, has extended to approximately 60 miles to the ...

Banana plantations buried in ash in Ecuador as volcano erupts

September 26, 2020 -

Ecuador is the top banana exporter in the world, and before the eruption, it was posting export increases compared to the same time last year. Authorities said that banana exportation from the affected farms would likely plummet for at least a month after the ashfall interrupted the proper ripening process of the crops.

Sangay volcano, one of Ecuador’s most active volcanoes, has been registering high levels of volcanic activity since June. The latest eruption occurred ...

Underwater volcano off Oregon Coast could erupt by 2025, scientists warn

January 27, 2025 -

Deep beneath the waves of the Pacific Ocean, about 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, a massive underwater volcano is showing signs of activity that could lead to an eruption by 2025. Known as Axial Seamount, this 3,600-foot-tall volcano is one of the most active undersea volcanoes in the world — and it’s giving scientists a rare opportunity to study the warning signs of an eruption in real time.

While Axial Seamount poses little direct ...

USGS announces “code red” aviation warning as Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupts

June 15, 2023 -

The USGS reported that lava flows are currently confined to the surrounding crater floor and that the eruption will not endanger the public. Despite the reassurance, the USGS elevated the volcano's aviation color code to red, meaning ash from Kilauea's eruption could still pose a threat to air travel.

This isn't the first time that Kilauea has erupted this year. The active volcano erupted in January, with activity stretching into March, reported the USGS.

The USGS' Hawaiian ...

An ancient volcano lurks beneath Germany – is it capable of erupting?

March 07, 2022 -

History of the ancient volcano outside Berlin

In the late 1960s, a group of excavators mined a site in the state of Brandenburg near Berlin. The group spotted the remains of a volcano but immediately abandoned the site after failing to find precious ores.

Largely forgotten thereafter, the volcano attracted renewed interest when molecular biologist Lutz Essers revisited the location. Essers, who moonlights as a scholar of earth science, determined that the volcano used to ...

Tonga volcano eruption produced mysterious, puzzling concentric ripples in the atmosphere

January 23, 2022 -

Satellite imagery shows an unusual pattern of gravity waves that has not been seen in the past with volcanic eruptions. Could it be that some type of weaponry was involved to provoke the recent eruption in Tonga?

"It's really unique," commented Lars Hoffman, an atmospheric scientist at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre in Germany. "We have never seen anything like this in the data before."

The discovery was made in images collected by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder ...

Yellowstone Volcano will not erupt soon, according to latest USGS report

August 10, 2021 -

Geologists assure everyone that the volcano will not be erupting violently anytime soon. But because the volcano erupts every 600,000 to 700,000 years on average, many believe that it is overdue for another one.

The latest reports from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have done little to dull the people's concerns, as it has confirmed 1,008 earthquakes in the park in July 2021 alone, all of which were recorded by the Yellowstone Seismic Network.

The Yellowstone ...

Philippines warns of Taal volcano eruption, calls on people to evacuate

July 02, 2021 -

According to a PHIVOLCS bulletin issued July 2, a short-lived phreatomagmatic eruption – caused by the interaction of magma and water – occurred on the afternoon of July 1. A column of dark gray smoke that rose 1,000 meters followed the eruption. The bulletin added that magma located at the volcano's main crater "could drive explosive eruptions."

Speaking to the Manila Times, PHIVOLCS Director Renato Solidum Jr. further explained the heightened alert level at Taal. "This ...

Costa Rica volcano registers its most powerful eruption since the 1990s

July 01, 2021 -

The volcano, situated in a national park some 200 km (124 miles) from the capital city of San Jose, spewed volcanic material into surrounding areas, possibly affecting nearby roads and bridges. That said, the powerful eruption caused no injuries or damage to properties.

Maarten de Moor, a volcano scientist at the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica, (OVSICORI), said Monday's eruption was "pretty energetic."

Rincon de la Vieja erupts frequently ...

Iran’s Taftan volcano, dormant for 710,000 years, shows first signs of reawakening

October 20, 2025 -

A volcano in Iran believed to have been extinct for more than 700,000 years is showing the first subtle but significant signs of reawakening, challenging long-held assumptions about its slumber and serving as a reminder of nature’s unpredictable power.

The Taftan volcano in southeastern Iran, a massive stratovolcano standing over 13,000 feet tall, has remained quiet throughout recorded human history, but new scientific observations reveal a ground ...

3D scans show underwater volcano off Oregon coast could explode without notice

December 12, 2019 -

Dubbed Axial Seamount, the “deep-sea magma monster” is the youngest in the Cobb-Eickelberg seamount chain, a 1,120-mile-long line of submarine volcanoes created by a stationary mantle plume below the shifting Pacific tectonic plate.
