    I climbed mount Vesuvius in 1962: At that time it was thought of as dormant. I have always been fascinated by volcanos. Spent 5 weeks in Iceland primarily for that reason. Hawaii sits on a ‘hot spot’, a historically active magmA outlet that persists even though earths crust moves infinitesimally slowly over that hot spot. Iceland is THE place to go. Totally built by volcanic activity over millennia. I spent midsummers day in a wooden mountain hut on the volcano infamous for having recently downed North Atlantic air traffic. Awesome spot ! Volcanic science has advanced enormously over that period. Iceland is sparsely populated, full of wonderful geologic features. Most parts are remote and you only meet real ad enthusiasts there, adventurous people. Because I was a solo female cyclist I was newsworthy. It really is 90% remote and isolated. A paradise of the planets raw power . Icelanders tolerate rather than welcome tourists ! They are secretive about the culture that surrounds the strange landscape. Expect an international assortment of seasoned adventures once you get away from the capital. Expect 3 seasons in one day. Expect to need to take several days food supplies if you go into the wild interior. It is worth it !

    Obsidian flows are also known as volcanic glass. And for this magma to flow, it must be extremely viscous. It will flow like water. The 2 volcanoes that produce this type of magma are the Hawaiian Islands and Ngorongongo in the Democratic republic of Congo. There is an island in Lake Superior up near Canada, straight north from the top of Wisconsin called Isle Royale. This island was produced 100% from Black Basalt magma about 1.1 million years ago. The natives made prized arrowheads from rock like this.

      It hasn't done so recently but Newberry Crater in Oregon has done this type and so has Yellowstone. Actually Obsidian flows are fairly common in Western USA. I have seen them in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Wyoming and Arizona

      Obsidian is formed from rhyolite not basalt

      ​@@mybirds2525 I camped at Newberry, at the sites between the two crater lakes, and we walked up the Obsidian flow the next morning. It's astonishing in scale, 100' and more tall as you approach and a mile long. There are bits of rock scattered through, and gray milky patches and bands but it's mostly jet black obsidian.

    He has a soft scottish accent... there are also two details they missed in regards to a VEI: 8.
    One: How large is the magma chamber?
    Two: What kind of Magma is inside the chamber.... Is it too sticky to go anywhere or is it eruptable?

    #volcanolive does rhyodactic Lava from Puyehue create slow moving obsidian flows that move at 1.1 mph?

    "several 100 degrees celsius" .... you might want to add roughly 1000 degrees celsius on top of that.

    When they said the worlds most active volcano i had to look at how old this was . I see it was 6 years ago . That explains it . Strange how these days the increase of earth quakes volcanos .Hurricanes and tornadoes how far exceeded all of history it’s amazing very biblical about what the last days were supposed to be like

    Whilst in Iceland.....ummm.... “Jeep” is a brand name , not to be used to describe a vehicle when it’s Toyota badge is clearly in view....ooops......Fabulous programs regardless. Oh to live in the UK and have this sort of quality television first hand.....oh , and I still can’t pronounce that volcanos name 😎.....oh again, this is scientific program...why refer (to children) to the Hawaiian mythology as though it was fact.....

    Ocean water is the key to volcanoes if water wasn't included in the subduction of continents there would be no volcanoes.

    cant there be built some sort of chute atop a volcano witch will direct it flow?

    • @terryz3063
      @terryz3063 7 лет назад

      No. The eruption may take many different forms at an individual volcano. They are unpredictable as to type, direction or magnitude.

      Man has toyed with mother nature enough. Nuclear waste and fallout damage, forbidden chemical dumping and storage, and a coal fire that the state of Pennsylvania claims cannot be extinguished. Just some signs and sins of human failure!

    A friend of mine brought back a very, very small hunk of volcanic rock back from Hawaii. He sent it back after he lost his job, lost his partner, his cat died with no obvious reason and had many other bad things happen in his life. He’s a believer in The “curse” now!

  • @robertclayton9630

    Really? They say you can’t take a piece of the volcano because it will anger a god of it? Thought they were scientists. Sounds more like “big brother” yet again

    • @13minutestomidnight
      @13minutestomidnight 4 года назад

      ?? Uh, weren't they explaining the cultural/religious reason why the region has some sort of prohibition or taboo against taking samples from that specific Hawaiian volcano? ...They were pretty clear that different regions have different laws and/or cultural practices behind whether you can take samples from different volcanoes (for varied reasons), and it sounded like they were giving an example. What does that have to do with the beliefs of the presenters talking about it?
      (btw genuinely asking out of confusion here)

  • @stevenherrold5955
    @stevenherrold5955 7 лет назад +1

    listening to these two talk about the volcano is boring if your going to talk make it short and to the point i want to know what is going on now i don't care so much about the history of volcanos etc because that's like yesterday weather forecast why do i need know about the past ?? its old news move on to the now

  • @lucianalliancestargate6475
    @lucianalliancestargate6475 3 года назад

    Science has a lot to learn about volcanoes and everything else. It's 100 percent more than any religion does.
