This Week in Volcano News; Mauna Loa and Mount Etna Produce New Eruptions

In Hawaii, a new volcanic eruption began at the Mauna Loa volcano, producing a series of lava flows which risk cutting off a section of route 200. Meanwhile in Italy, a minor volcanic eruption began at the Mount Etna stratovolcano. And, in New Zealand, an unusually large magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck the Taupo supervolcano while it was at a raised alert level of 1. This video will discuss these volcano related news stories, as told and analyzed by a volcanologist.
