A long-dormant volcano has just erupted for the first time in recorded history.
The Hayli Gubbi volcano in northern Ethiopia's Afar Region erupted for the first time in at least 12,000 years early Sunday morning local time, according to Volcano Discovery, a website that tracks active volcanoes around the world.
The eruption spewed large plumes of ash and smoke over Ethiopia and across the Red Sea toward the Arabian Peninsula. Large amounts of sulfur dioxide were also emitted.
Satellite images appear to show a massive cloud of ash moving over the Red Sea.
