This week, the tallest lava fountains at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano in nearly 40 years were generated, peaking at nearly 750 feet high. Meanwhile, in Japan, the alert level was raised at the Yakedake volcano due to an increase in earthquakes and the occurrence of new ground deformation. And, in Costa Rica, while a new eruption of the Turrialba volcano occurred, the Poas volcano has been undergoing a heightened phase of activity, on some days producing more than 100 small phreatic eruptions. This video will discuss these news stories along with list the 47 actively erupting volcanoes around the planet via the analysis of a geologist. Thumbnail Photo Credit: M.
