This week, a volcano erupted lava in a part of France, specifically Reunion Island. Meanwhile, the number of daily earthquakes at the erupting Mayon volcano jumped to more than 200. And, in Indonesia, evacuations were triggered as increased eruptive activity occurred from the Lewotolok volcano. Today's video will discuss these stories through the opinion and analysis of a geologist and list the 42 world volcanoes that are actively erupting. Note: This video's thumbnail image displays a previous year's photo of an eruption at Mount Etna. A special thanks to the Extreme Pursuit YouTube channel for granting me permission to use clips of his footage!
