Juliana Marins, a Brazilian pole artist, was hiking an active volcano in Indonesia when she tripped and fell off a cliff to her death.

Pictures taken from space of the Shivluch volcano that erupted in Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia have come. In these pictures, the moments of the eruption of the volcano have been recorded from the satellite. This volcano, which erupted in the morning, spewed lava continuously for the next 6 hours.

Volcano eruption has started in Mauna Loa, Hawaii Island of America. It is the largest active volcano in the world.

An old video is making rounds on social media which shows what happens if a human falls into an active lava lake. In this experiment a bundle of 30-kilogram organic waste, which is almost similar to human composition and can trigger the same response, is thrown in Erta Ale. Erta Ale is an active volcano in Ethiopia.

Images and livestreams by local news outlets showed lava and smoke spewing from a fissure in the ground on the side of the Fagradalsfjall mountain, which last year saw an eruption that lasted six months.

Semeru, more than 3,600 metres (12,000 feet) high, is one of Indonesia`s nearly 130 active volcanoes. 

La Palma volcano on Spain's Canary Islands is not calming down. For almost two months, this volcano has been spewing lava continuously.

After the recent eruption of La Palma volcano on Spain's Canary Islands, lava has started flowing in a new direction, threatening other areas towards the Atlantic Ocean.

The Canary Islands' first volcanic eruption in 50 years has forced the evacuation of about 5,000 people, including around 500 tourists, and destroyed about 100 houses, officials said on Monday.

A volcano erupted on the Spanish Canary Island of La Palma on Sunday, sending lava shooting into the air and streaming in rivers towards houses in two villages from the Cumbre Vieja national park in the south of the island.

Volcanic super-eruptions have been some of the most extreme events ever to affect Earth's surface. Although these explosions eject enormous volumes of material --at least 1,000 times more than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens -- and have the potential to alter the planet's climate, few super-eruptions have been documented, according to ScienceDaily report.

People residing near the Taal volcano and other high-risk areas were asked to leave by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council after it suddenly shot a column of ash and steam as high as 15 kilometres (9 miles) into the sky, Al Jazeera reported.

Police said they could not retrieve the remains of two more people, but spotted at least one body in the waters not too far from the island shoreline. Nine police dive squad members resumed their search at 7.00 a.m. local time (1800 GMT Friday) and the operation would be boosted by a navy dive team later in the day.

A New Zealand military team recovered six bodies on Friday from the volcanic island that fatally erupted earlier this week, in a high risk operation watched by dozens of grieving family members waiting on the mainland.

At least one person was killed on Sunday after the White Island volcano in New Zealand erupted on Monday, police said, expressing fear that the toll could increase.
