This Week in Volcano News; White Island Erupts, Kelimutu’s Unusual Activity

This week, New Zealand experienced its most notable volcanic eruption in half a decade as the White Island volcano produced a plume of ash and gasses visible from the North Island. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the alert level was raised at the Kelimutu volcano due to a change in the appearance of two of its three crater lakes. And, on Sumatra, the Suoh volcano produced an unexpected phreatic eruption. This video will discuss these stories and list the 46 volcanoes which are currently erupting around the planet.
