Peeking Inside a Deadly Volcano; Viewing Marapi's Erupting Crater
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- In this video, we are able to peek into the interior of a deadly active volcano; Mount Marapi. By remotely viewing its erupting Verbeek Crater we can not only witness the growth of a viscous lava dome but also the frequent explosions it produces. Join me as I, a geologst, analyze video footage of the Mount Marapi stratovolcano.

Peeking into the peak...always interesting to watch & learn! Thank you much respect.
HORTA!
great video. great drone footage, thanks to them for allowing us to see the footage.
Its amazing how complex even a simple straightforward subduction zone stratovolcano can be when analyzing the details
Amazing footage of a currently active volcano. We are so lucky to be able to observe so much. Thank you!
I agree. Even a helicopter flyover of the volcano wouldn’t be safe. I am truly glad about the ease of access commercial drones have created, allowing for remote viewing of volcanoes which by any other direct method would be far more dangerous.
@@GeologyHub Yes. I remember that a few years back, during the Iceland eruptions, several drones crashed and were destroyed by hot air or lava bombs. And the rotors and everything get destroyed by ash and corrosive gases. Besides the fact that a pilot would need oxygen like in a fighterjet, any exposed skin could be burned if he got too close.
Btw: Kudos for your flights in the other videos, it is certainly difficult to fly the drone and narrate over that and coordinate everything. You got my respect.
Seeing the expansion and contraction of the plug was surreal, it definitely looked like conscious movement to my animal brain!
Damn, what an epic footage, cheers to the people who did it and thank you for bringing it to us.
Video Idea, if there isn't already, could make a video about all the types of lava in the chart and name a volcano which erupts it?
I do know how most of them erupts but I definitely don't know them all, and I'd love too, and since this channel is by far the best volcano source in the internet, I'm more confident that you would explain it better than anyone else would.
Cheers mate.
I think he's already done that. I know he's done a video with examples of the different types of eruptions, and I seem to recall a video where he went into detail about the composition chart.
You are THE resource for geologic information! I watch your videos every day. I’m a retired journalist from the Pacific Northwest and did quite a number of stories about (and within) Mt. Saint Helens during and after its catastrophic eruption, so I’m interested in your “coverage” of volcanos. (I was also a copy editor. In the title headline you used “peaking,” reach the height or the top. Or, did you mean to look into, look at, “peeking?”
Wow, that's really neat! Thanks for explaining, and kudos to ExploreWestSumatra for graciously sharing his video.
3:54 That looks so epic.
it is a horta
Thank you, once again, GH 👍
Thanks for all of your hard work man!
Fascinating!
These are great pictures! It is so interesting to see water ravines get formed on still erupting volcanos
Cool footage and GREAT explanation! Thank You!
This was awesome. Thank you
Thank you for the update! Thank you also to the videographer who let you use their footage! The comparisons you used were super helpful!
Truly excellent
These videos are incredibly rare at stratovolcanoes. There is a helicopter video of Mt Shishaldin in the Aleutian Islands that is similarly amazing.
The video is titled “Shishaldin volcano, Alaska” it’s one of the most amazing volcano videos I’ve ever seen, you can see right down the vent.
Absolutely amazing video. Kudos to the drone pirate and thank you for your careful analysis of it. 😊
Verbeek Crater named after the Dutch geologist Rogier Verbeek who witnessed and documented the famous Krakatoa eruption of 1883?
Yep, he has done a lot of research about Indonesia's geology, especially on volcanoes
Great video! Thanks! The footage makes me think of the incredible footage shot by Werner Herzog. No drones in those days. (Or maybe it was footage from Katia & Maurice Kraft.)
Informative as usual (and getting a like as usual). Great footage, there are not many drone shots of "grey" volcanoes. One of the few making them is Martin Biermeier, also on RUclips. He is restricted to Stromboli, but accepts higher risks for the drone.
Thank you for this amazing video. It's pretty rare to have an opportunity to have a look inside an active volcano's crater! Besides, your explanations were (as usual) very clear and easy to understand for someone like me, who knows almost nothing about volcanoes but is willing to learn.
Very cool!! Awesome to have access to this drone footage!!!
Thanks as always! This is an interesting look at the crater!
Awesome video!
Neato!
Thank you very much for giving us the sense of scale at 1:05
I thought this was probably bigger than i expected, but it is ten times bigger than that.
that was Awesome!
It's always beautiful yet scary to look in a volcanic crater that is active
Thanks for this.
Merapi, Marapi, Sorikmarapi, all mean pretty much the same thing if Im not mistaken "smoking / burning mountain"... All of them very fascinating.
Talk about some incredible footage. Great work from that man ! Doing God's work out here.
So cool volcano
Could you make a video covering the Colli Albani volcano which is just outside Rome?
I also want Alban hills
I agree. Presumably a major eruption would be disastrous given how close it is to Rome, but I don't know if that is a serious possibility. A video would be good.
I love Indonesia volcanoes
This footage evokes the description of Krakatoa's Perbuwatan crater recorded by Dutch scientist Schurmann after his visit to it in May 1883, 3 months before the final, catastrophic eruption on August 26-27. Now it is much clearer what he saw after watching this.
Is the Verbeek crater on Marapi named after Roger Verbeek, the Dutch mining engineer who researched and authored the famous report on Krakatoa's 1883 eruption?
This volcano is quite close to where i live. But on about 200 miles north east
Playing peekaboo with a volcano.
🤔😉
I didn't know there's a lava dome in the crater of Mount Marapi.
This drone footage leads me to another question. Taking scientific samples at active sites, be it fresh lava samples or gas testing is inherently dangerous. Using drones to visually record sites is amazing, but have scientists started using drones to collect samples in places it is just unsafe to send humans? Is it possible to use drones to carry monitoring sensors up to risky sites?
Those are very interesting questions - I hope GH will answer them, either here or in another video.
I have video suggestions. Why not talk about those big calderas in western sumatra?
Can the drone drop a 1L water bottle into the lave dome? That would be interesting...
How would it be interesting. The lava dome was about 30 METERS across, a liter bottle of water is a few tens of centimeters. You'd likely not even see the tiny puff of steam from the flash vaporization with all the gas emissions going on.
Sure, lava lakes are neat, but have you considered...lava briskets?
*peeking
Great place to toast marshmallows.
Ok but how far is it from Hunga Tonga Hahaha?
Your Funny😅
YOU'RE funny.
what about his funny?
Unless those who were "peaking" were doing so under the climactic denouement of an intense LSD experience the were "peeking", not "peaking".
😂
Love the videos, highly informative, but that narrator has got to go.
Known as a volcanian eruption.
Did someone actually get paid to make up that word?
Vulcanian eruption, actually. Named after the Italian volcano Vulcano (where all subsequent volcanoes get their generic name!) which in turn is named for Vulcan, the Roman version of the Greek Hephaestus, god of the forge.
Vulcano itself has a certain type of eruption which is the type that in other volcanoes is referred to as "Vulcanian", just as eruptions that are similar to the explosive lava fountains on Stromboli are referred to as "Strombolian".
How about a little Grade 3 spelling test: Peak = summit. Peek = look or glance or examine. Try getting someone to proof read who can actually spell and who understands the intent of the sentence!!!!
Where is the mistake? I haven't spotted any incorrect usage. Some commenters are enjoying the play on words between the two (which is hardly a mistake), and it wouldn't surprise me if there is the odd genuine mistake among the comments. But that is hardly GH's responsibility (nor such a big deal, at least in my opinion).
Fascinating!
