Saw the news a couple of days ago that Piton de la Fournaise, likely the world's second most active basaltic volcano after Hawaii's Kilauea (if you don't count volcanoes with lava lakes, which I'm not doing here) had erupted. Might still be, I'm working on that.
Here is an article about the eruption with a video. You'll have to watch a couple of ads before watching the video, and the volcanologist in the helicopter speaks French, but despite all that, it's worth it.
