The next volcanic eruption to affect the state of Idaho might originate within its boundaries. There, the highly active Craters of the Moon volcano is present, which is overdue for its next eruption. It has erupted 10 times in the last 10,000 years, and its next eruption will cover dozens of square miles in a thick layer of lava. This video will discuss this very young active volcano and mention what its typical eruption is like.
