This Week in Volcano News; U.S. Volcano's Alert Level Raised, New Tallest Peak at Etna

This week, a significant eruption occurred at Italy's Mount Etna volcano, producing 2,000 foot high lava fountains. Meanwhile, in the United States, the alert level was raised at the Cleveland volcano. And, at Mount Spurr in Alaska, a crater lake formed at its summit despite the presence of below freezing air temperatures. This video will discuss these stories and list the 47 volcanoes which are currently erupting around the planet.
