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

According to AP, the eruption was 18 kilometers high, and sent a column of volcanic materials and ash on villages. Monitoring of the volcano has remained on high alert since its last eruption on June 17. Video via Weathermonitors/X | Mothership
