Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report
The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report is a cooperative project between the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program and the US Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program.
volcano.si.eduI don’t have live access to the latest tool results in this moment, but I can share how to check which volcano is erupting right now and point you to reliable sources.

Primary live sources:
- USGS Volcano Hazards Program: regional observatories and alerts for the United States and nearby regions. They post current activity, alert levels, and maps. Visit: usgs.gov/programs/volcano-hazards (search for current updates or specific volcano pages like Great Sitkin). They also publish a weekly activity report that summarizes ongoing eruptions. [citation: USGS Volcano Hazards Program page]
- Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report: a consolidated bulletin of ongoing activity worldwide, updated weekly but with links to current events. It’s a good cross-check against other sources. [citation: Smithsonian/USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report]
- Local observatories and national agencies for specific regions (e.g., Alaska Volcano Observatory, Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys) often provide the most timely status for their volcanoes, including alert level changes and webcam imagery. [citation: regional observatories’ pages]

How to search quickly:
- “which volcano is erupting now” plus “USGS” or “Alaska Volcano Observatory” to pull the latest eruption status and alert levels.
- Check social feeds or alert centers for rapid notices, but verify with official sources.
If you want, I can fetch current updates for you if you allow me to run a live search, and I’ll summarize the volcano currently erupting and its alert level with links.
