During the last week, Alaska's Shishaldin volcano produced one of its largest explosive eruptions in historic times. This sent a plume of ash in a sub-plinian eruption to a height of 42,000 feet.

 Elsewhere, in Hawaii, the Kilauea volcano erupted anew, although only a fraction of its initial vents are still active. 

And, in the Philippines, the Taal volcano produced a thick plume of volcanic smog known as vog amid an increasing amount of sulfur dioxide emissions.

 This video will discuss these stories and list the 46 volcanoes which are actively erupting around the planet.
