Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica
Phreatic eruptions at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica occurred from the west crater. Changes in the crater have occurred over the past four years, including ground cracking, landslides and fumaroles. Ashfall within 4 km of the crater consisted of pulverized old rock, and didn't include any juvenile magmatic material. Ashfall on farming land may cause problems for cattle if contaminated grass is injested. Residents have been warned of the adverse effects of ash on food crops, and machinery.

Nyamuragira Volcano, Democratic Republic of Congo
The eruption continues at Nyamuragira volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo. After 4 days lava has traveled 21 kilometers, and is only 7 kilometers from the Goma-Sake road. Four craters were active at the beginning of the eruption. The lava flows are still within the boundaries of Virunga National Park. Volcanologists from Goma said lava could reach the Goma-Sake road within 2 to 3 days. Chimpanzees of Tongo have not been harmed.

Mayon Volcano, Philippines
Activity continues at Mayon volcano, Philippines. Over the past day 21 rockfall events were recorded by seismographs, and were related to lava avalanches. The alert status of Mayon volcano was lowered from 4 to 3 on 2nd January.

Solomon Islands Earthquake (Mag 7.2)
A magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit 22 km ENE of Coleman Seamount in the Solomon Islands at 9:36 am on 4th January 2010. A tsunami possibly hit uninhabited Tetepare Island. Landslides occurred on Tetepare and Rendova islands. More than 500 homes were destroyed in Marovo. Kavachi is an active undersea volcano 88 km SE of the earthquake epicentre.
If you look at the Sun activity here:

you could follow popular theories & speculate that the Sun & volcano etc activity are linked. Some countries are also facing extreme weather conditions, the uk, for example is currently like the arctic.
