-
Great Sitkin (Alaska, USA): USGS/AVO reports ongoing slow lava eruption within the summit crater, with rockfalls and elevated monitoring activity; current status is WATCH/ORANGE, indicating persistent unrest but no explosive eruption yet. This is part of regular weekly updates that USGS issues when activity warrants. [USGS: Volcano Updates page, 2026-04-17/18][2]

Global overview: Several observatories continue to issue alerts and summaries for active eruptions worldwide, including ongoing activity at Shishaldin and other volcanoes, with advisories and aviation color codes updated as conditions change. These updates are standard practice for aviation safety and public alerting. [Volcano Updates pages and Volcano News aggregators, 2026-04-17–18][4][2]
If you’d like, I can pull more precise status details for a specific volcano (name, country) and provide the latest alert level, aviation color code, recent notable activity, and any nearby hazard notices. I can also set up a quick summary for the three most active volcanoes right now.
