The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia erupted explosively on Sunday, November 23, 2025, for the first time in approximately 12,000 years.
Thick smoke surged 9 miles into the atmosphere, eventually spreading eastward over the Red Sea.
The eruption has stopped, but its highly elevated ash cloud is still traveling.
Swift high-altitude winds carried the toxic mixture of fine particles, rock, and glass across the Red Sea.
