The infamous Krakatau volcano may soon erupt as it is actively experiencing a strong episode of unrest. Meanwhile, in Chile, the Nevados de Chillan volcano erupted for its first time in 4 years. And, in Hawaii, Kilauea produced tall lava fountains and volcanic whirlwinds during its 49th eruptive episode. 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. Do note that Krakatau may not end up erupting in the next few weeks.
