This Week in Volcano News; Etna Erupts, Danger at Mt. Awu

In Italy, a brand new nearly 300 foot wide crater formed alongside ash emissions. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, there is significant potential trouble brewing underneath the highly dangerous Mt. Awu volcano. And, in Japan, the alert level was raised at the Kuchinoerabujima volcano. This video will discuss these stories and list the 47 volcanoes which are currently erupting around the planet.
