If this may leed to confusions, please contact us. 05.09.07 LENGAI: We visited Lengai between 21. and 23. of Aug, witnessing already strong effusiv activity inside and outside the crater, but on Sep., 4th the activty culminated into a very strong eruption some kilometers high and with vast quantities of lava. So far Lengai is closed to the public. Note, that from now on the climbing track might be hit (again) by deadly lava flows without any warning. More details will come soon at www.volcanic-hazards.de (located under project "OLDOINYO LENGAI"). 04.09.07 ETNA: one week (starting on Aug. 29th) of strombolian activity on Etna ends with a paroxysm at the SE-crater and lava flows to the Valley del Bove on Sep., 4th. 20.07.07 LENGAI: Following to news-reports Lengai did erupt quite strong. Whatever we knowor get on information will be published during the next days via www.volcanic-hazards.de (located under project "OLDOINYO LENGAI"). 16.07.07 LENGAI: Two moderate earthquakes have hit Lengai volcano in Tanzania. The first earthquake measured 5.4 with an epicenter 13 km east of the volcano at 11:42 pm last night (local time). The second earthquake measured 4.7 with an epicenter 20 km west of the volcano at 12:10 am today. Both earthquakes had a shallow focus at depth of 10 km. It looks like that there was no impact on the activity (big eruption) of the volcano. But let's see what reports will bring next days. Weel, in 4 weeks we can have a close look with our visit on Lengai 2007. 17.10.06 VEI-office: we are out of the office (Hawaii) until 5th of Nov. 16.10.06 HAWAII: an earthquake 6.6 Richter hit NW of Big Island on Sunday morning 7:17 hours local time the Hawaiin island arc. We are sorry for any lost or damage with the locals. Our Hawaii excursion starting next week will not be effected by this. 15.10.06 ETNA: a big eruption was reported on Etna. Well, it seems more what happend on Etna during the last weeks (little flows and strombolian eruption from the South Easst Crater) to us. 12.09.06 ETNA: the volcano has now lava flows from the South-East crater. It will be quite interesting for our excursion starting in one week. 11.09.06 VANUATU: back from a great and exciting expedition to the lovely country Vanuatu. Ambrym was quite low with activity, Yasur on the other hand extremely rought. Pictures will follow soon. 10.08.06 from Aug./10/06 until Sep./09/06 the office of VEI stays closed.

Because they could not close the door of the bunker, hot gas burned them to death. 27.05.06 EARTHQUAKE (6,2 Richter): at 5:57 local time an earthquake hit the city of Yogya and Gunung Merapi. Chris and some expedition members were just on the spot at Merapi at that time. Thousands of people could have been victims and of course we feel very, very sorry for all of them. So far the fragile erupting dome of Merapi did not show significant activity or collapses after the earthquake. Although some bigger PF's did occure.
MERAPI: The activity at Merapi (Java) has increased during the last weeks and some sources speak of a bigger eruption comming soon. 16.02.06 O.

Sadly we do not run an expedition soon. For any individuall accesss to the Virunga volcanoes on foot, check the current safty situation very carfully. 30.11.05 VANUATU: Now we have the flights booked for our team.
