when was the last time the erta ale volcano erupted
Erta Ale There was a major eruption on 25 September 2005 which killed 250 head of livestock and forced thousands of nearby residents to flee.[5] There was further lava flow in August 2007, forcing the evacuation of hundreds and leaving two missing.[6] An eruption on 4 November 2008 was reported by scientists at Addis Ababa University.[7] Another eruption was reported in January 2017.[8]
Mauna Loa Mauna Loa's most recent eruption occurred from March 24 to April 15, 1984. No recent eruptions of the volcano have caused fatalities, but eruptions in 1926 and 1950 destroyed villages, and the city of Hilo is partly built on lava flows from the late 19th century. Because of the potential hazards it poses to population centers, Mauna Loa is part of the Decade Volcanoes program, which encourages studies of the world's most dangerous volcanoes. Mauna Loa has been monitored intensively by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory since 1912. Observations of the atmosphere are undertaken at the Mauna Loa Observatory, and of the Sun at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory, both located near the mountain's summit. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park covers the summit and the southeastern flank of the volcano, and also incorporates Kīlauea, a separate volcano.
