This Week in Volcano News; Lengthy Etna Lava Flow, Lewotobi Major Eruption Scare

This week, a major lava flow descended Mount Etna's western flanks, occurring alongside a series of notable explosions. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, there was a major eruption scare at the Lewotobi volcano, but thankfully no major eruption happened. And, in the Philippines, the Taal volcano erupted three times this week after nearly a month of inactivity. This video will discuss these stories and list the 47 volcanoes which are actively erupting around the planet through the perspective of a geologist.
