  • Right now, there are 49 volcanoes actively erupting on the planet. This week, the Taal volcano in the Philippines produced a new volcanic eruption. On the Galapagos island of Fernandina, its central shield volcano is about to erupt. Meanwhile, in the Canary Islands, the eruption of the La Palma / Cumbre Vieja eruption is now in its 64th day. Additionally, off the eastern coast of Mayotte, magma is intruding into the crust, generating a swarm of earthquakes. This video will discuss these volcano related news stories, as told and analyzed by a volcanologist.

    In the Galapagos Islands, three volcanoes are showing signs of uplift. Although Fernandina is showing the most significant uplift, Cerro Azulo and Sierra Negra are also being actively uplifted. As for why the raised alert status at Vulcano was not included in this week's video? It will be receiving a dedicating video on Tuesday.

    The reason we're having so many volcanos is because we've pumped so much oil out the ball bearings the earth has at the poles are drying out and generating friction. When the bearings seize everything will fly eastwards. I suggest putting props and braces on the east side of everything. 😂

      Also every sentence is delivered in the same monotone pattern. It’s very robotic. I thought is was an artificial voice when I first heard these videos. Could be a sign of something like Asperger’s syndrome.

    I wonder how long we have left on this planet? Looks like the Earth is going to go boom , like Krypton. Hope Elon can get his shiny chrome starship ready in time to save some of us humans....Mars, baby!!!

      So... you really think MARS, with no breathable atmosphere, no readily obtainable water, no greenery at all... is better than earth, even in the worst imaginable scenario?
      are you nuts?

      Hmmm, Mars you say... Looks at the solar systems largest volcano. Even though the planet is now geologically inactive, moving there to get away from volcanoes would not be the best move, may as well move to Io xD

      nope. humans put out 100x more CO2 than all volcanic activity combined.
