This week, an ash plume was generated at Mount St. Helens, but the cause was not a volcanic eruption. Meanwhile, in Hawaii, nearly 800 foot high lava fountains were generated that lasted for several hours. And, in the Philippines, a strong earthquake swarm occurred at the Kanlaon volcano, being followed by a weak eruption. Today's video will discuss these stories through the opinion and analysis of a geologist and list the 45 world volcanoes that are actively erupting. Note: This video's thumbnail image shows a prior photo of the erupting Santa Maria volcano in Guatemala. Also, Mount Saint Helens is currently not showing any strong signs of unrest.
