These flows are unstoppable, super heated avalanches of lava, toxic gas and ash - you do NOT want to be caught in one | Earth Uncut TV with James Reynolds | Facebook

Incredible images of Mount Etna's eruption earlier today. Parts of the South East crater collapsed, causing a huge flow of pyroclastic material that ran down the entire side of the volcano. #Sicilia #etna #volcano #cheflucacorleone #foryou | Luca Corleone-Fontanarosa

𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇: Time-lapse footage of pyroclastic density currents (PDC) generated by lava dome collapse from the summit of Mayon Volcano at 01:16 PM and 04:09 PM, respectively. A total of 16 discrete PDC events were recorded between 12:26 PM and 04:30 PM today, 07 January 2026. The PDCs generated grayish to brownish co-PDC ash clouds that rose 200 meters before drifting east-northeast. Alert Level 3 prevails over Mayon and entry into the 6-km Permanent Danger Zone must be prohibited. Source: Philip

A breathtaking yet terrifying moment as Chile’s Calbuco Volcano unleashes a massive pyroclastic flow stretching over 7 km at sunset. The sky burns with fiery hues while ash clouds tower into the heavens, capturing the raw, unstoppable force of nature. A scene that reminds us how small we truly are before the power of the Earth. #Ethiopia #volcanoeruption #EpicEruption | Space Xplore
