This week, a powerful eruption of the Sheveluch volcano blasted out a brand new nearly 500 foot wide explosion crater. Meanwhile, in Papua New Guinea, large pumice rafts up to 5 kilometers wide drifted away from a submarine volcano. And, in the Philippines, the Bulusan volcano produced a series of two earthquake swarms in the last month. Today's video will discuss these stories through the opinion and analysis of a geologist and list the 44 world volcanoes that are actively erupting.
