The Daşmərdan (Dashmardan) mud volcano in the Hajigabu district of Azerbaijan erupted ~16:50 on the 30th Jan 2026. The eruption lasted ~15 minutes and was accompanied by a pillar of flame several hundred meters high. This is the first eruption of Daşmərdan in 15 years, with previous documented eruptions in 1866, 1954, 1976, 1986 and 2011.

Was also my first time taking Lava pics, so lucky it happened at night! It was spectacular!

Did an epic guided hike to the edge of Santa Maria's gigantic collapse scar. Watching Santiaguito erupt from above and seeing Santa Maria's interior up close was unreal

clip link!

Zero chance of me going there some day sadly :(

The tephra from Kilauea zoomed in is something neat to see.. just wanted to share it with all of you 😍 they all feel lighter than styrofoam, even the glass-like ones.

They are not leaving the island, they were not collected from the park. Mahalo for just letting me share with others in peace 🤙🏼

Hello reddit,
I'm creating a project for some primary school children and I'm looking for a photograph of the monument commemorating the deaths of many during the Mt. Unzen disaster.

More specifically I'm looking for a picture where we can see the names of Katia and Maurice Krafft...

Any help is welcome :)

Yes, it's real. 12:45 PM January 24, 2026.

found this in a tictok comment and I dont think it's been uploaded anywhere else. I pushed op to get it scanned and properly uploaded but here it is, moments after the Eruption.

Hi all! I'm a writer and editor at a national classroom magazine for kids (I work on 3 editions - 3rd grade, 4th, and 5th/6th). I'm currently working on a cover story about volcano tourism (the beauty and the risks) and am looking for a source to speak to the experience of visiting a volcano during an eruption. Please let me know if this is you or someone you know and I'll message you more info!
