Ambrym Volcano (Vanuatu) 
16.25 S, 168.12 E, summit elevation 1334 m, Pyroclastic Shield Volcano 
Sunday 2nd May, 2004 
Eruptions continue at Ambrym volcano in Vanuatu. On 27th April a large ash plume was recorded drifting 150 km NW of the volcano, passing the northern tip of Malekula Island, almost reaching Malo Island. High levels of activity have been recorded during March and April 2004, with the inhabitants of Craig Cove, on the western side of the island, suffering from the effects of acid rainfall which threatened local gardens. Ambrym volcano is noted for the lava lakes which regularly appear in the summit craters. Report written by John Seach.

Sunday 2nd May, 2004 
Lava continues to descend Kilauea volcano towards the coastal flat. In the 24 hours to 1st May, lava  moved 800-900 m down the long kipuka, reaching the gentle slope above Holei Pali at an elevation of about 600 feet. The lava still has about 700 m to travel to reach the top of the eastern end of Holei, below which is Paliuli and then the coastal flat. Most of the lava flow is moving in a forming lava tube system.

Ash has been ejected 2,000-5,000 meters into the air from the crater of Shiveluch volcano in Kamchatka. The Kamchatka Seismologic Expedition reported on Friday that the most powerful ejection of ash (over 5,000 meters in the air) occurred at 7:24 a.m. local time and was accompanied by an earthquake that lasted five and a half minutes. The Alaskan Volcanological Observatory provided satellite photographs that show an ash trail stretching over 40 kilometers to the northeast. Seismic stations registered series of earthquakes and volcanic tremors near the active dome.
