A major explosive volcanic eruption unexpectedly began this morning at Ethiopia's Hayli Gubbi volcano, leading to the generation of an ash cloud the size of Portugal. Lengthy pyroclastic flows were generated, and heavy ashfall has occurred. Today's video discusses the ongoing eruption via the knowledge and analysis of a geologist.

I want to hear about it from Ethiopian expert Bernadette Peters.
The ash cloud is right over the Houthis. That’s a shame.
That plume is huge.
I had to turn off the volume because the narrator is worse than AI.
Ditto. A voice made for blogs.
“I had to turn off the volume because the narrator is worse than AI.”
Yeah, his voice is a cure for insomnia. But usually provides good information
And wasn’t there a piece the other day about Mt Etna developing a big crack? Hmmmm....
You are correct. That chain must be entering an active phase.

Volcanic eruption in Ethiopia. Volcanic eruption perhaps imminent in Sicily. Payback for the Italian invasion of Ethiopia?
Narrator sounds like Chip from Napolean Dynomite
That’s Haile Selassie of them.
What a golden oldie. I love that line but never use it as no one gets it any more. But I did!
My SUV doesn't do that.
Italy cracking too?
“Authorities remain baffled...”
As of November 24, 2025, the volcano in Ethiopia has erupted for the first time in recorded history, marking a significant geological event after no known Holocene eruptions.
Its VEI [ Volcano Explosivity Index ] has bot been released yet.
According to the video it looks to be a VEI 4 or 5
