U.S. Geological Survey
Sunday, March 5, 2023, 8:40 AM ChST (Saturday, March 4, 2023, 22:40 UTC)

Report prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey.

AHYI SEAMOUNT (VNUM #284141)
20°25'12" N 145°1'48" E, Summit Elevation -449 ft (-137 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW

A plume of discolored water was observed above Ahyi Seamount in satellite imagery during last 24 hours. Nothing significant was detected from the direction of Ahyi in remote pressure sensor data. 

There are no local monitoring stations near Ahyi Seamount, which limits our ability to detect and characterize volcanic unrest there. We will continue to monitor available remote hydrophonic, seismic, and satellite data closely.
