Will Ethiopian Volcanic Ash Plumes In Delhi Affect Air Quality?
A high-altitude mass of volcanic ash and fumes from the Sunday morning eruption of the Hayli Gubbi volcano in northern Ethiopia is moving east - at speeds up to 120 km/hour - and reached Delhi this morning, affecting flight operations in the city and, as a result, at airports across India.
The volcano in Ethiopia's Afar region erupted for the first time in nearly 12,000 years and spewed clouds of toxic gases, gravel, and fine ash, which satellites tracked across the Red Sea region and the Arabian Peninsula, and over Pakistan, before crossing over into Indian skies.
