Ethiopia Volcano Erupts After 12,000 Years: Ash Reached India, Pakistan | Connecting The Dots

Video Description

#Ethiopia #Volcano #Delhi A long-silent volcano in Ethiopia’s Afar region, Hayli Gubbi, unexpectedly erupted for the first time in nearly 12,000 years, sending a massive ash plume 10–12 km high that was carried by strong winds across multiple countries and even reached New Delhi, disrupting international flights and exposing gaps in volcanic monitoring. The eruption—an explosive, silica-rich event rather than a lava-flowing one—produced fine ash capable of damaging aircraft engines, windows, sensors, and runways, prompting aviation warnings, cancellations, and rerouting. Scientists were surprised because the volcano had shown no prior signs of activity, underscoring how little is known about remote Holocene-age volcanoes in the Afar Rift. The incident highlights both the global reach of volcanic ash and the vulnerability of modern aviation and communications systems to sudden geological events, as well as the need for improved monitoring in one of the world’s most geologically active regions. #VolcanoEruption #HayliGubbi #EthiopiaVolcano #DelhiAirQuality #VolcanicAshCloud #AfarRegion #AfricaToIndia #AviationAlert #FlightDisruptions #VolcanoNews #GlobalWeather #EarthScience #NaturalPhenomenon #BreakingNews #ScienceNews #NaturalPhenomena #TectonicPlates Ethiopia volcano eruption, Hayli Gubbi volcano, volcanic ash reaches Delhi, Africa volcanic ash India, Ethiopia eruption 2025, Delhi ash cloud, volcano eruption news, Ethiopia volcano latest, volcanic ash aviation risk, volcano plume Africa About Connecting The Dots: Decode the issues that matter to the world.
