Ambae's volcano eruption. The island of Ambae located in the South Pacific, just experienced a large eruption from the island main volcano, Vanuatu, reporter Ben Bohane mentioned that there was an explosion about every 8 to 10 seconds. The island had to cal for an evacuation. Within the first 24 hours about 1000 people where evacuated and there are 11,000 people on the island. It will most likely be a while before the islanders are able to return home mostly because of the severe amounts of water pollution.
On article referred to the evacuation as "Dunkirk-style". In the evacuation at Dunkirk many of those people got to return home to their families, but sadly the same most likely won't be said for the islanders of Ambae. The air and water pollution might take years to over come, some may never return home and will be displaced in a foreign land. A lot like the slaves brought over has trade to the colonies.
