Insane footage of a volcano explosion. | This is Happening

Incredible footage of volcanic eruption of a dormant volcano in Ethiopia from a commercial plane. 🌋 The dormant giant exploded with a towering ash column, pyroclastic clouds, and volcanic lightning ripping through the plume like threads of white fire. The entire scene was illuminated by the rising sun… turning destruction into something surreal and almost otherworldly. A moment no one on that plane will ever forget and one the world has never seen until now. ✈️ | Otherworld Earth

A closer look at the mechanics inside an active eruption. What you’re seeing is a burst of fragmented magma—tiny molten droplets called pyroclasts—being pushed upward by rapidly expanding volcanic gases. The dense, dark plume is a mix of ash, fine rock particles, and water vapor, lifted high as hotter material rises and cooler air rushes in around it. This frame captures the exact moment when pressure, temperature, and gas release combine to eject incandescent material into the air. | AstroNatur
