00:00Why are volcanoes waking up all over the world, and all at once?
00:05Mount Rainier just had its largest earthquake swarm in over a decade.
00:09Ta'al in the Philippines exploded overnight.
00:12Iceland ripped open with a two-kilometer fissure, spewing lava like it was the end of days.
00:18And Mauna Loa? It's rumbling again.
00:21Almost exactly 75 years after its last destructive eruption,
00:25which destroyed homes and crossed highways in less than a day.
00:28But it doesn't stop there.
00:30In Russia, the Kliuchevskoi volcano is spilling lava so violently, it can be seen from space.
00:35The ash trail stretching 1,000 miles.
00:38Japan's Sakurajima is hurling ash 6,000 feet into the sky.
00:43Costa Rica's Poas is bubbling with acid clouds.
00:46And in Iceland, scientists say we've officially entered a new volcanic era.
00:50This isn't normal.
00:52In fact, over 44 volcanoes are erupting as you watch this.
00:55From the Pacific Ring of Fire to the African Rift Zone.
00:59From Alaska to Indonesia, volcanoes that have been quiet for decades, even centuries, are suddenly stirring.
01:06So what's really going on?
01:08Scientists say glaciers melt is causing ice caps to vanish.
01:12Pressure is then released.
01:14It's like uncorking a shaken bottle.
01:16The Earth expands, magma rises, and boom, the sleeping giants wake up.
01:23But what if that's only part of the story?
01:25Something beneath us is shifting.
01:27Plates grinding.
01:28Pressure building.
01:29Even Earth's magnetic field is changing.
01:32What if these eruptions are all connected?
01:34Not just by coincidence, but by a deeper planetary force.
01:38All signs point to more activity.
01:41And if that's true, then the real question is, how close are we to a mega eruption?
01:46The kind that could darken skies, cool the planet, and block out the sun?
01:50Because it's happened before.
01:53And it doesn't take much to happen again.
