The Kanlaon volcano explosively erupted, creating a visible pressure wave and generating pyroclastic flows. Meanwhile, in Hawaii, a series of once in a generation 1,500 foot high sustained lava fountains erupted from Kilauea. And, in Iceland, an unusual earthquake swarm occurred at the glacier covered Katla volcano. Today's video will discuss these stories through the opinion and analysis of a geologist and list the 40 world volcanoes that are actively erupting. This video's thumbnail image shows an October 17th 2025 image of Kilauea erupting. Note: Do not go within the 4 kilometer exclusion zone surrounding all directions of Kanlaon's summit.
