Earlier this week, the alert level of the Ibu volcano was raised due to its everincreasing magnitude of explosions. Elsewhere, in Iceland, while the latest Reykjanes eruption ended there is evidence that another eruption might soon begin. And, in Peru, the Ubinas volcano erupted, sending a plume of ash to an altitude of 20,000 feet. This video will discuss these stories and list the 46 volcanoes which are currently erupting around the planet.

Note: The video footage shown of Ibu was taken by a trained professional with many years of experience filming dangerous volcanoes who also traveled with a local volcanologist. This is why he go within Ibu's exclusion zone and why you, the viewers of this video, cannot get this close. Please do not approach the Ibu volcano; stay beyond its active exclusion zone!
