The Yasur Volcano on the island of Tanna, Vanuatu, erupted in late October 2021, leading to significant unrest. The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department classified the activity as 'major unrest' (level 2). The eruption was likely triggered by heavy rainfall causing a landslide into the crater. The volcano emitted substantial plumes of gases and ash, prompting the establishment of a one-kilometer danger zone around the volcanic cone.
