This week, a lava flow is advancing towards a populated area which had remained untouched by lava flows for centuries. Meanwhile, in Hawaii, the Kilauea volcano erupted once again, producing spectacular 600 foot tall lava fountains. And, in Iceland, the Reykjanes volcano is likely approaching its next eruption which one model suggests will occur around 8 days from the date this video goes live. This video will discuss these news stories along with list the 45 actively erupting volcanoes around the planet via the analysis of a geologist. Thumbnail Photo Credit: H.
