🌋 FIRST VOLCANO ERUPTION IN 10,000 YEARS Hayli Gubbi, a shield volcano in Ethiopia’s Afar Region, just erupted for the first time in around 10–12 thousand years. It sits on the East African Rift, where Africa is slowly tearing itself apart. This eruption sent an ash plume up to about 14–15 km into the sky. That ash did not stay local. It drifted across the Red Sea towards Yemen and Oman, and then further toward India, disrupting flights and darkening skies over multiple countries. When a volcan

The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia’s Afar region has erupted for the first time in more than 10,000 years, with satellite data confirming towering ash clouds rising nearly 10–15 km high. The plume drifted across the Red Sea toward Yemen and Oman, marking one of the region’s most striking volcanic events in modern observation. Scientists say the sudden awakening of this long-silent shield volcano has drawn global attention due to its scale and rarity. #HayliGubbi | #volcano | #eruption | #Ethiop
