For the first time in 12,000 years, Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano has erupted — sending a massive ash plume nearly 14 km into the sky. The ash travelled thousands of kilometres, crossing the Red Sea, the Gulf, Pakistan and finally brushing past India’s skies. Delhi didn’t see grey dust — but flights were cancelled, planes were rerouted, and aviation authorities scrambled as volcanic ash drifted at cruising altitudes. Should you be worried? What does this mean for Delhi’s already-toxic air? And how did one volcano wake up and affect a country 7,000 km away? Palki Sharma tells you.
Ethiopia's Hayli Gubbi volcano has erupted for the first time in recorded history. It's thought to be nearly 12,000 years since it last erupted. The eruption covered nearby villages in volcanic dust and sent a cloud of ash cloud drifting across the Red Sea. Plumes have already reached Yemen, Oman, northern Pakistan, and India, where they caused flights to be cancelled. No casualties have been recorded, but officials say the livelihoods of livestock owners could be affected as the ash may reduce available grazing areas.
