In Hiregui, it's in northeastern Ethiopia, it erupted at 8.38 a.m. UTC to 3.30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, November 23rd. And this is the first time this volcano has erupted in the Holocene epoch. That was actually the end of the ice age 11,000 years ago. So geologists and volcanologists generally agree that if a volcano hasn't erupted at at some point during the Holocene, then it's considered extinct. A volcanologist from North Carolina University reported, and a quote from this person, so long as there are still conditions for magma to form, a volcano can still have an eruption, even if it hasn't had one in 1,000 years, or even 10,000 years. In the ash cloud from this one, it reached 45,000 feet, 13,700 meters in altitude. initially drifted over Yemen and Oman. By Monday, November 24th, the crowd had traveled across northern India and parts of China.
