Could you imagine being a Native American, living just a safe enough distance away. Then, after the eruption, maybe the following year, hiking up to the crater rim and looking not at the blue lake surrounded by trees we see now, but nothing but devastation, plus a gigantic hole some 4,000' deep.
@badpiggies988 it's totally worth it. I have swam in several times. I used to live in Bend. Crater Lake, and the surrounding park, is like nowhere else on earth.
Thanks so much for this ! I last visited in 1965, and there wasn't as much information at the time. It is a beautiful eerie place. Now I live too close to the Long Valley supervolcano, and just north of the volcanic field at Salton Sea. We really do live in the Ring of Fire, Cascadia subduction zone.
While Mt St Helens was a decently sized eruption, there have been at least 4 eruptions since Krakatoa that are larger, including one just a year ago. Mt St Helens is famous because of two factors; One, it happened in the lower 48 states of America. Two, it was the first time Geologists were able to predict an eruption. If this eruption had happened in the Aleutian Islands, or the South Pacific, there's a high likelihood that you would have never heard of it.
it fell into it's own footprint? ah-phhht....inside job. seriously. it was due to the literal undermining inside the mountain. huge job....all inside. ...I will show myself out.

Arizona's base level is higher though. The Cascades rise from pretty close to sea level. That's why something like Rainier looks so much more impressive than Mt Whitney, or Denali compared to Everest. Lower peak, larger mountain. I'm not sure the context of the volcano you're talking about, but this is something I always try and take into account when summit height comes up.
I believe that volcanic field is on top of the southern part of the Colorado Plateau, and that plateau averages 6000ft and those peak’s start at 7000ft, so it had a bit of lot of help to reach 18k feet and was actually only 11,000 or 12,000 feet above sea level if it wasn’t on top of the Colorado plateau. Southern Arizona is lifted by the Basin and Range uplift and the Northern part of Arizona is on the Colorado plateau, so any mountain in Arizona will seem higher because of how high above sea level most of the state is.
I visited yesterday and there new stuff there last time i went was 2019 and a long time when my dads grandpa went there he found obsidian and a red crystal
2:17 2:34 2:38 2:57 it took between only 2 to 3 hours for *Mount* Mazama to become a *hole* in the Earth. *1:57* *2:58* All planetary Life on the face of the Earth there for *30* *MILES* in every direction was *instantly* *killed* *VEI* *7* It happened just 7700 years ago. Native Americans WATCHED this *happen* before them. This was a mountain *higher* than Mt. Rainer *falling* *into* *itself* It created what would become CRATER LAKE.
True, but the differences between them are still large. This eruption was 1/8 the size of the smallest VEI8 eruption, and Yellowstone’s eruption was likely 50 times larger than that
The error in looking at it this way is not taking into account that each level up you go on the VEI scale the explosive power of the eruption increases by a factor of 10. VEI-7 to VEI-8 is a jump from 100 cubic kilometers of ejecta to 1000 cubic kilometers. VEI-8 eruptions would still put eruptions like the one at Crater Lake to shame in terms of ejecta produced.
That is incredible, i had a dream that Mt. Hood will bow into the sea. I wonder if it shares the same fate.. A battle between the great spirit and the devil , and in turn an amazing deep lake was created. Its like God cut its top off. Wonder if it was in relationship to a massive cascadia earthquake
It is important to note that Mount Mazama or crater lake is very much alive and in the future will rebuild the mountain back to the full size in the future. In 500,000 years from now you would could not tell that had once blown up.
Props to the cameraman for going back in time and recording this
Maybe thought's of retroactive pay on the way helped propel that activity.

Fucking wild to imagine right
"This ain't my day!" - Native American
I've swam in Crater Lake several times. It is unlike anywhere else on earth. ❤
Dude talking: “😀All the life within 30 miles of the summit 😃was just killed instantly😁”
Me:😳
Native American legends of it live to this day.
vaporized
And now it's a gorgeous lake.
It’s the deepest lake in the United States
@@MathewWoodard and its still an active volcano
I’d like to visit there someday
@@MathewWoodard
And 7th deepest in the world.

1965, what a year!
Amazing & terrifying, great video 😳😳😮😮😁😁👍👍!!
This eruption was bigger than Mount Saint Helens!
116x bigger
It *dwarfed* Mt. St. Helens.

The Las Vegas Stratosphere Height is 1,148 Feet, Yup, Crater lake is deep!

Your joke game indicates you should be a dad.

Satisfying.
I should go to bed... but nah I'll watch why a gigantic mountain once collapsed into its own footprint. Sure.
I think the collapse of Mazama was a lot more recent than 7,700 years bp.
San Francisco stratovolcano in Arizona was way taller it was almost 18,000 feet before it massive collapse.
Arizona's base level is higher though. The Cascades rise from pretty close to sea level.

Loved him in southern comfort and the legend of Billie Jean...
Remember he was also in Outrageous Fortune with Bette Midler and Shelly Long

Dang 😳
Named after a running club?
Where do you get these years????
For example wood buried by eruption products can be dated. (radiocarbon dating)
Terrifying
How do they know all this.
Studying the geology of the site. A lot of it is assumption and theory but interesting none the less.
wow
I like how they show the mountain falling into the lava and yet the lava doesn't rise.
That must have been so terrifying
2:17
2:34
2:38
2:57 it took between only 2 to 3 hours for *Mount* Mazama to become a *hole* in the Earth.
*1:57*
*2:58*
All planetary Life on the face of the Earth there for *30* *MILES* in every direction was *instantly* *killed* *VEI* *7*
It happened just 7700 years ago.
Native Americans WATCHED this *happen* before them.
This was a mountain
*higher* than Mt. Rainer
*falling* *into* *itself*
It created what would
become CRATER LAKE.
Possibly, probably, uh huh....
What if would happen if this event happen in modern times
Global cooling, it would affect the trout population
@@badpiggies988 Right. The last time a VEI 7 eruption occured (Tambora in Indonesia, in 1815), it led to the "Year without a Summer" in 1816
Loop
the eruption of Mount Mazama was a VEI level 7 just 1 level behind Yellowstone!
True, but the differences between them are still large. This eruption was 1/8 the size of the smallest VEI8 eruption, and Yellowstone’s eruption was likely 50 times larger than that

don't give me ideas I used to live 40 miles away from that volcano.

That's absolutely terrifying. I had a dream about Mt Glacier in Washington erupting.
