San Miguel Volcano Eruption Update; New Explosive Eruption, Increased Gas Emissions

On November 15th, a new explosive eruption began at the San Miguel volcano in El Salvador. While still ongoing, this eruption has thus far been relatively small with a striking resemblence to the style of eruption at the Kerinci volcano in Indonesia. As a result of the eruption, a 3 kilometer exclusion zone was declared around the volcano. This video will discuss the geologic history of the San Miguel volcano and analyze what might happen next.
