Good news everyone! Although the video of what appeared to be a fumarole was real, further investigation revealed that this feature was simply caused by strong winds! Therefore, no fumarole actually exists on the Black Tusk! This also means we do not have definitive proof that an active magma chamber exists beneath the Garibaldi Lake volcanic field.
I live about 13 km from this feature. I can actually see the Black Tusk from my house! As a long time fan of this channel I'm pretty blown away! There's no coverage of this anywhere in our local news yet. I've actually been putting a bunch of comments in these videos asking for a video on Mt. Garabaldi and The Barrier. I never thought that when I saw it in would be about new activity!
Thanks for clarifying the difference between Mount Garibaldi and the Garibaldi lake volcanic field! That being said, we should really monitor the volcanic field.
I'm not a scientist but love many fields in it. Ur channel is the closest I've seen on RUclips of a "video representation of a scientific paper", and I honestly can't think of a better compliment. Idk if its ur presentation, the abundance of sources in basically every slide or how down to the facts ur videos are... in fact, it's prolly all of them. Please continue ur work.. it's fascinating.
The Garibaldi Lake area is a very popular hiking / backpacking destination. The Black Tusk, in particular, is a popular and easy climb. I've been up to the top a couple of times. It's likely that people will be checking this out, regardless of your warning to the contrary.
@@441rider Okay, the hike up the mountain from the parking lot is physically not "easy", but anyone in half-decent shape can make it. What I meant about the tusk is that it's a non-technical climb. No climbing equipment is required, other than hiking boots, which you need to make it up the talus slope anyway.
I meant to summit not the trail, it is slippery rock in some places took ropes even but worth it. Bears for normies can be issue so tourists should be careful.@@darylmorse
As british columbian i find the lack of information on our volcanoes disgusting. I grew up thinking we didn't have any because there was no information. I only learned garabaldi was a volcano in high school and even then was told ot was extinct and never erupt. I honestly thought the closest volcano was mt baker. I know signifcantly more about wastington and oregan volcanoes. Do you have any resources I could look up to learn more about the volcanoes in my backyard?
Google is about the best option. Depending on search terms and associations. The scientific papers sites are numerous and many are free downloads. The numbers of researchers in all fields are numerous, with some being far more prolific over their careers than others. I've stumbled over research/conjecture over the decades that's allways grabbed my attention.
Another source is the youtube channel of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. The have put videos online of their annual lectures for nonspecialists. There's at least one about volcanoes of Canada.
Boiled alive? Yup, that is exactly what happened to the burned billions of trees on an unprecedented area in Canadian history in the mega fires of this summer. Those fires still weren't under control at the end of September.
Here in the lower mainland of BC, there are regions of vulcanism to the north, east and south. We see the awesome Mt Baker on the eastern horizon and some of us have visited the easily accessed the hot springs of Mt Meager Massif. Sections of highways are bounded by columnar basalt and Vancouver Island is caught between a rock and a hard place. Geography is spectacular but we sadly don't live long enough to see how it will turn out...
Living in Metro Vancouver any activity at Garibaldi Mtn and G. Lake Field is a concern since drainages come directly from Garibaldi down both Squamish River/Howe Sound and down Pitt Lake/Pitt River. I hope Geological Survey of Canada/Natural Resources Canada attends to this fumarole and makes an assessment in short order.
🌱🌏💚 Excellent! An update on the Garibaldi anomaly. Have been eagerly anticipating hearing more about this situation! Thank you very much helicopter pilot Nicolas Drader!
Have a little bit of experiance with Sulfur fires and I am going with that theory. They are REALLY hard to put out. One locally flared up recently that was from a train accident in the 1950s. They buried the rail car then, but air got to it this year and it reignited. Tricky stuff.
I'm glad you outlined the various reasons why this could be occurring. I find it somehow more interesting, in light of the abundance of sulfur, it could be caused by a landslide - like a match over a strike plate. Even the theory that this might have been going on forever, and someone has just recently noticed, is interesting in its implications.
Yet another thing I appreciate about your videos - you specify the year when giving dates for current events. It’s an archiving feature that just doesn’t occur to most people. Also, imagine the incredible chunks of feldspar etc. in rocks from a magma chamber that takes hundreds of thousands of years to cool! 😃
I wholeheartedly agree a million times. I always cry inside every time I watch a video with only relative references like "last week/year/month" which will be incomprehensible when not watched immediately. This culture of throw away instantaneity is extremely disrespectful to viewers and this channel thankfully has its roots deep in the scientific culture which requires placing oneself in an archiving mindset with long term usefulness as a focus.
There are hot springs in the Shovelnose and Turbid creek valleys, which actually makes this complex technically active, not extinct. Depends on what's heating those, of course. Someone up there had plans to build a geothermal complex, but I don't think anything has happened yet, due to the location and expense. Based on that location, its just the opposite side of Whistler, underneath the Black Tusk Chimney Route bottom, which people hike to get up to the peak.
There are field studies going on in the Capricorn Meagher complex north of Pemberton at the moment. Most of the Garibaldi area is considered dormant at the moment. Not extinct.
This area is of some concern and has been for years... Not so much for the volcanic issues, but the environmental potentials. There WAS a town called Mt Garabaldi which was moved... completely. Further up the valley is an earthen dam (Natural) which holds back part of Garabaldi lake... The potential is huge given the geologic realities so the town was removed.
I live in the area.. this is so exciting! I was a ski instructor and lived in Whistler (ski resort).. this volcanic feature is about 80 km as the crow fliest from Vancouver and are right between Squamish and Whistler. Thanks so much for your videos,, I learn so much, great format and your knowledge is incredible. Thanks again.
Time to open up the Duffy Lake Road as a backside escape to Harrison Lake and an alternate to the Sea-to-Sky highway!!! The land is largely govt. anyway and only two small creeks to cross, so easy peasy to do the road.
as the coast of bc has subduction zones all along it, it would seem that the lack of investigation there is almost criminal. all of bc needs to be looked at.
As a British Columbian who lives where I can see the back of the glacier by taking a 3min drive and Volcanology enthusiast I agree. I have a feeling that it comes down to the classic British way of thinking 'if it's not exploding than it doesn't matter'. But I live in the ring of fire with active volcanoes to the north and south of where no one is looking, to me it seems like something has been overlooked
As a former Reno resident, as soon as you said Steamboat Springs, I began cheering. Steamboat Spring's fumeroles are a fixture on winter sunrises across Reno-Sparks. It isn't open to the public though but is cool to see that it was mentioned when explaining the Garibaldi Lake Volcanic Field.
@@bla123blubb They must love the BC/Alberta wildfires so much work for their construction subsidiaries, volcanoes would contribute even more lands to build over and happily already clearcut with free radiant heat.
Of note, is that this area of Black tusk is not glaciated and has not been for many years. Though it does receive many dozens of feet of snow every winter and is obscured from view for probably 1/2 of the year due to its elevation, in the other 1/2 of the yr it is highly visible to anyone hiking in the area, and is literally photographed every day from near and afar, whether by foot or from the air. From my memory, I have never heard of fumeroles being seen at this location, though from time to time the adjacent (glaciated) Mount Garibaldi does vent.
Is there any plans for geologic survey teams to go in and investigate to get more information on the gas vent, and whether or not it's a fumarole? If a team does get to go in, I would be very interested in learning what they discover.
In the spring, we saw some kind of vent just up from Black Tusk Lodge. The snow was nearly 3 meters deep at the time and the vent had melted the snow down to the ground.
Canada reminds me of like the old west, so much to explore still, but limited because of how rugged it is. I suspect many more volcanos or odd rock features not found.
most, if not all of our volcanoes, are known (at least on land). What they aren't is studied much. there's no seismographs or monitoring equipment on any of them as far as I know. this isn't very smart in my opinion as some of these volcanoes are near fairly populated areas. Maybe this bit of exposure will prompt someone to take another scientific look at the area, and put a bit of monitoring equipment there.
I've climbed to the top of Black Tusk several times and hiked all over that lake and region. Beautiful country. I will be watching this with interest. Its very close to the ski resort of Whistler /Blackcomb.
I would also like to note that even volcanoes we think of as extinct may not be all that they seem, especially those where monitoring is not present. We don't know nearly enough to say when a volcano is truly dead.
No, the lake formed when Clinker Peak, a cone related to Mt Price, split and the resulting lava flow melted through a glacier that was already present at the time of the eruption. The lava flow formed a plug and Garibaldi Lake formed behind the plug. The plug is locally known as “ The Barrier.” That last eruption is dated to the time of the last ice age for the area. Garibaldi Lake is very deep, and the water level rises and falls with the seasons. It falls in the winter and fills in the spring and summer months. Were does the water go? It drains under and through The Barrier undermining it. I have been there many times.😇
thanks for the updates on this system i was glad that someone finally flew over the area to confirm 'smoke'. my money would be a lightning strike just because a few were observed [if it's ignited sulfur that is] someone my have to journey to the area for some seismic instrument placement as well as sampling the yellow patch and the 'smoke' best of luck with that big question i've been wondering for a while: why the odd number of years to determine if a volcano is active vs dormant? i could see 10k or 15-20k years but you usually mention over 11k years
This is what mystery writers call 'a smoking gun', which is an apt analogy. This will get covered up and buried by government and media, but we can't unsee it.
To be clear, this short clip does NOT show a new active fumarole on Garibaldi. A subsequent helicopter overflight a week later saw no signs of degassing or other signs of recent activity. Rather the video almost certainly shows loose dust and scree being lofted due to wind accelerating up the steap slope (e.g., Bernoulli's principle).
The town of Garibaldi got evacuated decades ago due to The Barrier being at risk of collapsing and water from Garibaldi Lake behind washing everything in it's path away.
Im not a geologist but I do some amateur geology as a hobby, all info that i have read cited black tusk as an extinct feature of the Garibaldi lake field. I would assume that any activity would happen along helms creek as a cinder cone. If you hike up there there is plenty of evidence of that. Obviously, black tusk itself is not fully extinct, the rate of degasing from the video is somewhat voluminous but without an analysis we cant infer what is the source, composition rates etc.
I'd like an explanation on how two complexes (Garibaldi lake and Mt. Garibaldi in this case) can be considered completely separate when they boarder each other. Does this mean separate magma sources? I think of magma as bubbles coming through the crust. So maybe two separate bubbles? I'm a carpenter so be gentle and use small words if possible!
These tall lava flows are fascinating features.The thickness and their raised margins. Have there been any tall flows like this formed in living memory
Is this short observation the only one? Could potentially be rock fall tossing up dust. I've seen similar dust plumes last for ~5 minutes in the Cascades after small slides I'll also add the vertical scars on the talus below indicate this face slides often
G.Lake is a cool volcano with an apparent large supply of possibly higly explosive Dacite magma. I wonder if its a gas poor system or just very well ventilated because of the massive dacite flows. These volcanoes that erupt very infrequently are probably the hardest to understand. Great topic for newest relative volcano news.
Mt. Meagre sure put a thumbs down on my hot springs trips (now I need a good mule), and I used to cast coloured columns and fireplace surrounds with the beige light (pumic) rock from Meagre Creek (just N by Nw of Pemberton. Too bad. This one is also close to Whistler???!
Been standing on that spot more than once that whole feild is fascinating .sooner or later that barrier will collapse draining the lake through Squamish will be horrible
Tks. I never knew we have potentially active volcanoes in Canada. Or should I say less than completely dormant volcanoes. Good to know you're keeping an eye on the prize.
Great video! Very cool to see that possibly-new fumarole! It'd be great if it *is* new! I went to Canada and the US in 2002 and did a bit of a road-trip with my uncle from Canada. I loved the trip from Vancouver to Calgary - I remember heading east and seeing the stunning-looking cone of Mt Baker across the border there! Beautiful mountain!
Hiking trail goes to tope of the tusk. Nice place spend the night ~ sunset and sunrise views from that vantage were memorable. Probably hike there with my kids this weekend
Hi Geologyhub, I saw some recent articles about EQ swarms beneath the Campi Flegreii Fields, stating the most energetic activity since 80s EQ swarms there. Maybe a small Cinder Cone eruption within 2 - 5 years?
NASA has extensive satelite imaging of numerouse forms from optical/spectrographic and lidar/lazer to radar and thermal imaging. It might be worth a long search of their web image sites to see whats availible on this region. I think the ground penetrating rader extends from 50° N to 50° S and resolutions of 30 m. (100 ft).
Hi, watching a map from italy can't help but notice three lakes nearby Rome, that it seems to be craters-caldera, ain referring to Lago di bolsena, lago di vico, and lago di bracciano, the latest had sorta depresions forming caldera shapes around it, but i don't know if it's a volcanic field, dormants volcanoes, extincts, haven't you covered those futures? Btw great chanel
At the 3:00 mark there’s a completely different lava flow to the NORTH OF Garabaldi lake. Is that one part of the original lava flow or did I just spot something that has been unseen?😮
Does this venting have anything to do with the Juan de Fuca plate? It's in the vicinity. Could this be a precursor to the imminent mag 9ish🎉 earthquake?
Could be a long-lived dust devil. I watched a dust devil lasting almost two minutes send dust into the air up to 100m on a mountain side about 100km north of here about 5 years ago.
On vancouver island I can look out and see the geologic origin of vancouver island near a former volcano known as the sleeping giant, resting amongst the pyroclastic flow that produced Herkimers..quite overdue for rumbling..

Super interesting. As a lay person, easy to understand. Thank you!
I find it so strange that the government doesn't seem to be very interested in monitoring British Columbia volcanoes.
" geology of British Columbia - a journey through time " is well worth a read.
Interesting review
Been standing on that spot more than once that whole feild is fascinating .sooner or later that barrier will collapse draining the lake through Squamish will be horrible
Tks. I never knew we have potentially active volcanoes in Canada. Or should I say less than completely dormant volcanoes. Good to know you're keeping an eye on the prize.
Super great content and video😊
Great video!
Very cool to see that possibly-new fumarole! It'd be great if it *is* new!
I went to Canada and the US in 2002 and did a bit of a road-trip with my uncle from Canada.
I loved the trip from Vancouver to Calgary - I remember heading east and seeing the stunning-looking cone of Mt Baker across the border there! Beautiful mountain!
Vancouver to Calgary is a stunning drive.
Hiking trail goes to tope of the tusk. Nice place spend the night ~ sunset and sunrise views from that vantage were memorable. Probably hike there with my kids this weekend
I have been there! Lots of great trails. Can get darn close to the summit on a dirt bike. Beautiful area.
Love the legalese boiler plate, may it keep you from pesky issues. 😊
Wow. Just climbed this one on Sunday the 10th. Didn’t see any gases coming out of it.
Hi Geologyhub, I saw some recent articles about EQ swarms beneath the Campi Flegreii Fields, stating the most energetic activity since 80s EQ swarms there. Maybe a small Cinder Cone eruption within 2 - 5 years?
250k+ subs. Awesome mate.
Or dust from a rock slide?
2:39 I never would've thought to !
Squamish and it's suburbs are the closest town to it i grew up there.
NASA has extensive satelite imaging of numerouse forms from optical/spectrographic and lidar/lazer to radar and thermal imaging.
It might be worth a long search of their web image sites to see whats availible on this region. I think the ground penetrating rader extends from 50° N to 50° S and resolutions of 30 m. (100 ft).
Hi, watching a map from italy can't help but notice three lakes nearby Rome, that it seems to be craters-caldera, ain referring to Lago di bolsena, lago di vico, and lago di bracciano, the latest had sorta depresions forming caldera shapes around it, but i don't know if it's a volcanic field, dormants volcanoes, extincts, haven't you covered those futures? Btw great chanel
I'm going with the lighting idea... but a huge amount of the 'snow & ice' has disappeared.
*What's the point of switching from BC + AD to BCE + CE when it changes nothing numerically speaking (which is arguably more important)?*
At the 3:00 mark there’s a completely different lava flow to the NORTH OF Garabaldi lake. Is that one part of the original lava flow or did I just spot something that has been unseen?😮
4:25 - "east of the town of Garabaldi"
There is no town called Garibaldi.
Does this venting have anything to do with the Juan de Fuca plate? It's in the vicinity. Could this be a precursor to the imminent mag 9ish🎉 earthquake?
Could be a long-lived dust devil. I watched a dust devil lasting almost two minutes send dust into the air up to 100m on a mountain side about 100km north of here about 5 years ago.
Hole in the ground possibly emitting poison gas, that is literally my worst phobia from childhood. Nope. You couldn't pay me enough to go there.
oh I live in Vancouver
i heard someone was living there...
On vancouver island I can look out and see the geologic origin of vancouver island near a former volcano known as the sleeping giant, resting amongst the pyroclastic flow that produced Herkimers..quite overdue for rumbling..
excuse me sir, but in august, there was heat reccord by satellite near mont meager, few kilometer north west, the heat was volcanic, but there lot of fumeroles andgeothermy building soon overthere, is there a connection? wit-h mt meager activity?
I, for one, am shocked, shocked I tell you that there is volcanic activity in an area that it littered with extinct and geologically periodic active volcanoes. I mean, what are the odds??
i am glad i no longer live in squamish or BC for that matter!
i am patiently waiting for the day i hear about the big one going off on the coast
A glowy lava effusion would be nice!
There is always a little bit of cloud formation around the top since I grew up in Squamish and I graduated in 86.. so it's been like 40 years..😅 geez I am old
We have earth changing volcanic cycles every 12,000 to 13,000 years. Our last major eruption was 12,000 years ago.
No i believe its a vent...they just dont want ppl to panic
Awww man, now these photos have disclaimers like vapor not meant to show actual process. 😂
Yall complained that photos didnt apply and now we are getting the recompense
Whaat a beautiful suphur crystal.
Yes, just enjoy the buscuits instead 🙂
I climbed black tusk 32 years ago when it was still allowed. 😀
