Reports of a volcano eruption in Vanuatu have locals in the area on high alert, with some sharing images of the eruption on social media.
Earlier this week, an underwater volcano off the coast of Vanuatu’s East Epi erupted, spewing ash around the island’s sky. The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-hazards Department shared photos of the eruption on Facebook, giving online viewers a good look at the overall devastation sent flying into the sky.
The Vanuatu volcano eruption is yet another reminder of how volatile parts of our planet can be, with reports showing that the ask kicked up from the event was sometimes sent hurtling 100 meters into the sky. The volcano in question lies just 68 kilometers north of the capital city of Port Vila.
