GLOBAL VOLCANISM: Global Volcano Report For November 5, 2013 - Updates On Klyuchevskoy, Etna, Bagana, Manam, White Island And Fuego!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">November 05, 2013 - WORLDWIDE VOLCANOES </span></b>- The following constitutes the new activity, unrest and ongoing reports of volcanoes across the globe, courtesy of  <a href="http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Volcano Discovery</b></span></a>.<br /><br /><br /><b><a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/klyuchevskoy/news.html">Klyuchevskoy (Kamchatka)</a></b>: Tremor and degassing have increased with respect to the last report from KVERT. A steam plume rises about 2 km above the crater and a thermal anomaly over the volcano is visible on satellite data.
