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
