This week, a new volcanic eruption of Bulusan caused a layer of ash to fall on 100,000 people. Elsewhere, in the United States, the Atka volcano erupted anew north of the town which goes by the same name. And, in India, the nation's only volcano with historical eruptions erupted once again. This video will discuss all of these news stories and list the 52 volcanoes which are actively erupting around the planet.
