How this site works
Most of the cams here are run by the observatories that watch each volcano: the U.S. Geological Survey in Hawaii, Alaska and the Cascades, INGV on Etna and Stromboli, GeoNet in New Zealand, OVSICORI in Costa Rica and the Japan Meteorological Agency. Where no official cam exists, we add livestreams from local broadcasters and camera companies that allow their streams to be embedded.
A script checks every cam every 30 minutes. If one stops working, its page says so and the next working view is shown first. The status next to each volcano comes from official sources: USGS and GeoNet alert levels, and the Smithsonian and USGS weekly activity report, which lists every volcano that erupted or showed unrest during the week.
Getting a good view
A cam is only as good as the sky in front of it. Each volcano page shows the cloud cover forecast over the summit and the next clear spell in the coming 24 hours, plus the local time, so you know whether it is day or night there. Night is often the best time to watch an eruption: glowing lava and incandescent fountains show up clearly on the cams, while steam and ash are easier to see in daylight.
