This Week in Volcano News; A Powerful Eruption from Shishaldin Occurs

In Alaska, a powerful volcanic eruption occurred at the Shishaldin volcano, sending a plume of ash to a height of 31,000 feet. Elsewhere, in Chile, magmatic uplift was detected at the volcano which produced the second largest explosive eruption of the 21st century. And, in Australia, a sinkhole formed in the vicinity of the Mount Gambier volcano, but was not volcanic in origin. This video will discuss these stories & list the 45 volcanoes which are actively erupting across the planet. Thumbnail Photo Credit: Schaefer, J. R.
