Right now, there are 50 volcanoes actively erupting on the planet. This week's top story involves a volcano in Turkey which began displaying signs of unrest on October 1st near the border with Iran. The volcano I am referring to is Tendürek. Elsewhere, the Kilauea volcano's latest eruption just surpassed its 1 year long mark. Meanwhile, in Japan, the Nishinoshima volcano produced a new explosive volcanic eruption. And, in Alaska, the alert level of the Trident stratovolcano was raised from green to yellow. This video will discuss these volcano related news stories, as told and analyzed by a volcanologist.

Key for volcano color codes shown in this video (this is only if they do not represent official alert levels from local government / volcanological agencies):
GREEN - Normal volcanic activity, very low chance of an eruption.
YELLOW - Unusual levels of volcanic activity, potential changes at the volcano, increased risk of an eruption.
ORANGE - High volcanic unrest, this can mean a volcano is about to erupt or could erupt with very little warning.
RED - The volcano is erupting.
