La Soufriere Summit Footage 5th Jan, 2021

A scientific excursion to the volcano summit was conducted in a controlled environment inclusive of volcano monitoring safety equipment. The video shows the new growing dome viewed from its western side. The dome consists of a rounded mass comprised of individual, mainly lenticular-shaped massive blocks of black lava. It is steaming and emitting sulphur smelling volcanic gases from its top centre, the area from which the lava is being extruded. As it grows radially outwards its outer edges become oversteepened producing small hot rock falls. The volcano poses a significant danger to those at the crater rim. Public access to the volcano is restricted. Video credit: Professor Richard Robertson #stilldangerous #svg #volcanooutreach #lasoufriere #uwi #uwiseismic

Looks like a Giant chocolate lava cake or a giant truffle. I'm sure it don't smell like it though.

The old dome is steaming too they ember say the complete story give a complete in depth analysis

Thank you for sharing.

[@harperwc]

please share numerical information when available. size ? rate of change ? seismic activity ?

Very disappointing, people know how these things can go wrong instantly, when a drone is expendable!

[@k.b8842]

There are ways to tell if it will explode, earthquakes, less gas emission... So for the time being, it is ok

[@semoneg2826]

Yes but you can't wait for it to explode it will be too late

[@Agent007202]

@@semoneg2826 Lava domes are formed by viscous magma being erupted effusively onto the surface and then piling up around the vent . Like lava flows, they typically do not have enough gas or pressure to erupt explosively, although they may sometimes be preceded or followed by explosive activity.

Well aren’t you a know it all. Ever heard of telephoto lens?

Mother earth and God is becomming fedup if mankind. Hooray! Let them fight back. Mankind whom was put here as a protector of God's land has turned out to be the biggest pest and desyroyer of all God's creation. If we all should die by the hands of God then si be it. We earned it as men.
