Currently a spectacular eruption of Mount Etna is ongoing with associated several hundred meter two lava fountains. This ongoing eruption is quite typical for the volcano, simply representing a paroxysm
I love that you are staying so regular with your uploads 👍 thank you 🙂 Would you be willing to or are you planning to start making longer form videos or deep dives into more complex or expansive subjects?
I just want you to know with all the human chaos going on in the world I find these volcano reports to be soothing and reassuring. Nature is what it is, no ulterior motives and even when violent, still beautiful.
It's been awhile, but it seems to me that I remember when the Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted that people said Katla would erupt a few years after Eyjafjallajökull always. I would love to know if that is how it has been in Iceland. Is Katla overdue? If not, I would love to hear more about the volcanoes of Iceland.
There has been a historic uncanny correlation between Eyjafjallajökull erupting & katla following soon after leading some to speculate that both volcanoes share a joint magma chamber but new studies seem to point towards that they have separate magma Chambers & also katla is much taller than eyjafjallajökull & much more ice basically 4 glaciers pressing down on it much like the alaskan volcanoes & ice plays a big factor in Iceland,alaska,& Antarctica.
@@jjMcCartan9686 Thanks for the response. I would be happy if Katla stays quiet and if the Reyjkanes volcano is not any type of explosive eruption when and if it comes. I prefer the eruptions of volcanoes south of the equator.
Historically speaking, Katla is overdue for an eruption and so is Hekla. But history can only tell us so much. I hope Katla stays dormant, she has the potential for a very destructive eruption that could ruin huge infrastructure and put towns at risk. Not to mention the ash cloud that would follow which could disrupt not only air-traffic but also weather conditions throughout Europe.
I don't trust Taal. Is it possible the magma is still there but the conduit previously allowing the gas to vent at absurd levels has become blocked thus causing pressure to build with possible unfortunate consequences?

Love you content man! Wishing there was more after every video! How far out are we on the cave series? I’m not trying to rush you, I’m sure these videos take a long while, I was just curious if it was still planned.
Visiting Manila this week for two days but brought a months worth of my medication with me. Thanks to Taal thats now standard luggage in case my stay here gets extended thanks to the airport closing down.
Thank you again for the up to date information you provide on on current and predicted future volcanic activity. If you have not done so already, could you do a short video on the formation and history of the Table Mountains in Golden, CO? They seem out of place and I have always wondered why they formed. Thank you again.
Great video as always and keep up the good work! Is there anything going on at the Mayon volcano? The reason that I am asking is because I am getting mixed information about a possible eruption and/or de-gassing at the summit. There was a video on here that said Mayon was erupting again, but I am not so sure. I think the person who made the video was just trying to scare the heck out of people because they are bored out of their skulls or like spreading mis-information about things. So I thought that I would ask since you know a lot about Science and volcanoes. Thank you for your videos.
I'm pretty sure the Thera/Santorini eruption was one of the largest in the last several million years period, not just Greece. The only ones in the same category are Tambora, and Lake Tuapo, all three are thought to be VEI 7s. It would be an almost unimaginable cataclysm if it occurred today and I suspect would cause several million deaths immediately and several times more via famines, water pollution, and an extreme shift toward temperatures usually associated with glacial increase.
@@warpdriveby no, geologyhub has made a vid about an eruption the predated human civilization which was 11% bigger in Nisiros. But i don't know if there has been any larger explosions.
@@warpdriveby It was one of the largest, the lesser known Kos Nisyros eruption was larger than Santorini's eruption. There have been more VEI 7s in the last 1 million years, but the ones you mentioned are pretty much the most talked ones. It's believed the 540 and the 1452 mystery eruptions were VEI 7s.
@@caiolucas8257 Yeah, I worded the part about Taupo and Tambora really badly, I was thinking of ones in recorded history, there will have been at least two VEI 8s in the last 1 million years and many other 7s than the two. I've been very interested in the increase in discoveries of oceanic/subsurface volcanoes. It does appear there have been many more, and with very far reaching effects. One thing I wonder is, have there been underwater large igneous provinces and did that sort of activity cause or contribute to any of the mass extinctions? We saw what was a comparatively minor event at Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai, and It was awe inspiring to many.
from where i live, there is less than 50kms to 7 volcanic systems that have erupted in the past 2000 years, the last lavaflow stopped just about 4km away from where i live, about 1000 years ago, so i guess, if a prolonged eruption period has started... i might have to move sometime in the future
these earthquakes that have been going on lately are scary though, one M4.7 that originates from the Hengill volcanic system could be felt clearly from a long distance, my apartment shook quite hard
I'd like to know what officially classifies an eruption. I'm only assuming that any smoke seen is an eruption but that seems vague to me. If you can clarify between unrest and eruption it'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Wow Iceland is loading again! Wonder if Ragnarök will finish us ? Time now we are so dummm now.
I read somewhere that Middleboro, KY ( on the border between VA, TN and KY) actually sits in the center of an ancient meteor crater. Could you look into this? Thanks.
You are correct! The city is built on top of a 3.7 mile wide impact crater which is no longer exposed. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlesboro_crater#Geological_features
Eruption Possible in Iceland; Plume at 9. Oh, Yow, Whoopee! I bet the sponsor will be "Click Smarter". Oops, I let my own sponsor get a bit carried away with the above.
Love your videos, BUT ... what can we do to get you to avoid the cliched and trite phrase "With this being said"? It seems to be a very "trendy" phrase these days. And with seemingly the entire world feeling compelled to use the phrase in any and all contexts, without regard to whether or not its use is contextually appropriate, it results in making the user sound foolish and inarticulate.
So what there ain't a damn thing you, me , or anyone living can do about it except get/keep the hell out of the way. I'd worry f Putin is going to PUSH the button or not.
Why? You do know the US secretly built Reagan's Star Wars right? You can bet the Russians know it and it would mean their doom as their nuclear force wouldn't wipe out the US or most of the West.
@@danielevans3932 No, but I do live next to a primary target, White Sands Missile Range, but what I meant by the West was all western countries. Why do you think president Potatohead isn't afraid of them. Maybe Putin doesn't want all of Ukraine anyway he just wants their coastal areas so all shipping by sea goes through Russian hands is one scenario I heard. Refugees are not saying the Russians are losing, that's just the media.

What's the largest eruption to happen in Greece?
I'd be interested in more detail about Etna's new vents in this eruption, and more specifics about the flows. Tks.
Can you make a video about Rabaul Caldera and other calderas in New Britain, Papua New Guinea?
Can you do the corbetti volcano in Africa please

There has been almost no earthquakes at Taal over the past 2 weeks.
@@I.amthatrealJuan Which is a good sign. No activity is good. That means it's asleep, subsided, or is dying down.
A history on the volcanoes of Massif Central in France would be interesting to watch
Very very yes
Absolutely. I think they erupted relatively recently on a geological scale.
Always excellent reports.
FYI , Reykjanes is pronounced
Raye - Kya - Ness.....just a tip.
Even seeing that I still couldn't pronounce it correctly.

So has Katla decreased in risk over the last couple of years.
Not really, no.
Katla’s risk has remained essentially the same in the last several years

It seems that there are an awful lot of volcanoes erupting. Is this normal? Is this something that we need to be concerned about?
It's normal. You live on a volcanic planet.
😭😭!!!?

Theres no safer place during an eruption then a crater rim ,provided you are filming with a camera
