Ethiopian Volcano Erupts for First Time in 12,000 Years
Breitbart ^ | November 25, 2025 | John Hayward

The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia, located about 500 miles from the capital city of Addis Ababa, erupted on Sunday for the first time in about 12,000 years.

The eruption was not too devastating as such events go, but it did release an enormous plume of ash, which rode the subtropical jet stream and quickly expanded to cover parts of Yemen, Oman, India, and Pakistan. Air India announced it canceled at least 11 flights on Tuesday due to concerns over the cloud.

“The affected altitude is between 8.5 kilometers (5.2 miles) and 15 kilometers above the sea level,” said Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, director general of the India Meteorological Department (IMD). “It will temporarily affect satellite functions and flight operations. But it is unlikely to affect weather conditions or air quality. It reached northern India last night and seems to be headed towards China.”

The Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation advised pilots to be on the lookout for telltale signs of volcanic ash affecting their aircraft, including strange odors, visible smoke in the cabin, and “engine performance anomalies.”

Local officials in Ethiopia reported no casualties or damage from the eruption, but voiced concerns about how the ash cloud could affect local farmers and herders.

“While no human lives and livestock have been lost so far, many villages have been covered in ash and as a result their animals have little to eat,” said local administrator Mohammed Seid.

Up to 15 KM...or over 9 miles.

That’ll allow it to go worldwide depending on the amount.

There is also no such thing as a “super” volcano.

Definitely global climate change. Call Greta. Tell her to put some green dye in that.

Gotta be due to climate change or we cut off their AID funding that kept the volcano quiet.

Westerlies picked up the plume but it dissipated by the time it reached the Himalayas.

Unless we have an eruption and the result is a summer without a summer event again causing world famine, war, political chaos.......that was probably a 6 or 7 on the scale.....
We don’t need a new eruption like 536AD

IT WILL happen again.

Ask anyone who is in the study of volcanos.

One of the most deadly volcanos in history was a VEI 4.

Late 1700s. Laki, in Iceland.

Three factors determine the lethality of an eruption. Explosivity, amount and type ejected, and duration.

News for people here. We are still in the midst of the after effects of the Tonga event. That’ll last another few years if, there isnt another mass ejecting event that blows through the tropopause and into the upper atmosphere.

Anywhere from 20 to 40, or more, volcanic eruptions are ongoing at one time worldwide.

Without them, earth ceases to exsist.
With a hyper eruption event, earth as we know it, ceases to exsist.
