Hey Geology hub. I wanted to see if you could cover the wenman shield volcano in the Galapagos Islands. It is presumed to be extinct but still has a prominent Island on its summit call isla wolf.
Wow. I knew Iceland was volcanically active simply due to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, but I did NOT know there was so much variation between individual volcanoes in explosiveness. Thanks!
It's also a menacing looking volcano compared to other in iceland. You drive by and the crater row along its axis look like they're staring you down, ready to explode at any moments notice. If she isn't covered in clouds that is.
This is one of Icelands most dangerous volcanoes due to how unpredictable it is. However, I would say that the next eruption is going to be huge. It usually erupted once every ten years, roughly, but hasn't now for over 20. Also, there are numerous news arcticles about the volcano constantly swelling and swelling.
Yes I was waiting for this one! Thanks👍👍. It’s actually a scary volcano and it could effect the U.K by causing plants to die because of its fluorine ash. I feel a lot worse for the Icelanders though if a large amount of ash is emitted in the next eruption. It’s a sinister sneaky volcano.
Can you cover Snowdonia, Achnaha, Borrowdale, Ben Nevis, Isle of Arran, Exeter and Dartmoor please? They’re all ancient UK volcanos that would be fascinating to know more about.
Finally, Hekla ! I see Hekla mentioned frequently when Icelandic volcanoes are talked about, probably due to its explosive eruptions, which are numerous ! Maran and Bezymianny are some of the other examples of volcanoes which produce large explosive eruptions frequently. Hekla’s age is also about the same as Klyuchevskoy, a massive volcano on the Kamchatka peninsula. Could you consider covering it ?
The Bronze Age, much like our own time, was composed of several highly-connected societies through trade. These empires, or states, were also highly stratified, socially. This has obvious benefits, but also make these societies more fragile. When a significant piece of what maintains consistency is removed, as through some climate catastrophe, things can fall apart rapidly.
This will surely happen again. Modern society hasn't seen a VEI 7 or 8 event. It would be truly a catastrophe for much of the world. Billions can and probably die if it's an 8. We are overpopulated and very not prepared for such an event.
Im really interested about very old history like the older the history, the more interested i am. Screw whatever happened after 1600s im curious about the world of BC. I knew the tough times the bronze age had that lead to the collapse of several civilizations but i didn't know it was due to a volcano! Thanks for being so teachful in interesting and fun ways ❤
If a VEI 5 eruption in Iceland possibly caused the Nile droughts. If that's the case the Hunga Tonga's VEI 5+ maybe even a 6 eruption blew millions of tons of water into the stratosphere that will stay up there for years and water vapor is the number one greenhouse gas leaves one wondering what changes to the weather it may be causing. Although as you explain in your latest update on Hunga Tonga the water vapor would only change the temperature by one tenth of a degree, but its first year may cause a higher rise on that zone until the vapor is dissipated further around the world. I live in the desert Southwest and it has been cloudy everyday for months. This is not normal for here especially the humidity.
Not an expert on Icelandic volcanoes by any means, but Grensdalur and Herðubreið are two that haven't erupted since the Pleistocene period. They are still considered dormant apparently. Most others appear to have erupted during the current Holocene period.
i have a somewhat unrelated question; it is said that laki erupted ~15.1km³ (including tephra)---does this number also include the grimsvötn eruptions that lasted until 1785?
@@jakealter5504 yea thats what im thinking as well but i wondered since it often sounds like they connect this number with the specific 10month fissure eruption
Now I know he's using a synthesized voice. He pronounced Eyjafjallajökull absolutely flawlessly. Not only that, when I backed up and played it a few more times, it was still perfect! 👍😂
You are also the same person who says that Vesuvius won’t erupt until 12,000 years from now. You might be encouraging people to become complacent about a very real danger that can kill thousands !
According to the Old Testament, he kept agreeing to them going, but God hardened Pharaoh’s heart each time in order to show everyone how powerful he, God, was.

Hekla is such a beautiful and explosive volcano. Based on its young age, it is quite similar to Mount Pico in the Azores or Arenal in Costa Rica.
Hey Geology hub. I wanted to see if you could cover the wenman shield volcano in the Galapagos Islands. It is presumed to be extinct but still has a prominent Island on its summit call isla wolf.
crazy how fragile the civilizations were back then, we take so much stability for granted.
@@jeronivin we aren't much better. If we can't grow food we will go the exact same way
Yep.
I have been to Arenal. Beautiful volcano!
Wow. I knew Iceland was volcanically active simply due to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, but I did NOT know there was so much variation between individual volcanoes in explosiveness. Thanks!
Wow finally hekla, this is truly an magnificent volcano!!!!
Audio is more appealing. Great improvement. Extraordinary content. Wonderful. Thank You!
Great video 👍

In 1991 my mom was in a plane that flew over Hekla, with little to no warnings Hekla started erupting just minutes after the plane flew over

Had an opportunity to see Mt Hekla August 1980 eruption while serving at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Keflavik.
Great video, I particularly liked the table of eruptions in Iceland over the past 1000 years, thank you for that extra info.
Thanks for another brilliant video about Icelandic Volcanoes!
I truly enjoy your work.
Yes I was waiting for this one!
Thanks👍👍.
It’s actually a scary volcano and it could effect the U.K by causing plants to die because of its fluorine ash.
I feel a lot worse for the Icelanders though if a large amount of ash is emitted in the next eruption.

Hekla is a volcano that people forget about when it's quiet, but when it erupts, it grabs the whole world's attention.
Can you cover Snowdonia, Achnaha, Borrowdale, Ben Nevis, Isle of Arran, Exeter and Dartmoor please? They’re all ancient UK volcanos that would be fascinating to know more about.
1:28 double "L" is pronounced "TL". So the town of Hella is pronounced "Hetla".
Props for pronouncing that infamously difficult volcano name Eyjafjällajökull! I can tell you're really making an effort to get the names right.
Well. An A for the effort ...
+1000 respect for actually pronouncing Eyjafjallajokull. 👍

The active volcano in the Atlantic; Iceland
Yeah pretty much though its also more of a volcano on top of a volcano

What do you mean by “obvious benefits”?
Great info, thank you
I climbed Hekla last month but won’t do it before it has erupted again. It’s such a spectacular place, looks like Mordor.
Fascinating. Thank you!
Town of Hella is pronounced Hetla, just like the E25 Volcano lol
Definitely _not_ a friendly volcano like the recent eruptions on the Reykjanes peninnusla.

Hekla Is quite a powerful volcano

I saw a documentary about Egypt and the Nile droughts were in sync with Peru volcanic eruptions.
Just curious are there any extinct volcanoes in Iceland? The whole island seems active, with no, or at least very few, dead spots

Well this one is scary, I might be 900 miles away but potentially directly downwind. Something to look forward to. 😀
Yes, I have Swedish ancestors who fled to Britain because of Hekla’s eruptions of the 1760s.
It affected Scotland too.
Hey! Not a word about that cool sci Fi series about Hekla on Netflix ?l
Could you please do a video about the large caldera that in the western confines of the Nevada Test site, North west of the town Beatty in Nye county?
You left out the fact its also the entrance to Helheim.
Isn't hekla showing unrest as of now?
Tieton Andicite please.
Also extinct volcanoes in the cascades like goat rocks
Someday soon.
i have a somewhat unrelated question; it is said that laki erupted ~15.1km³ (including tephra)---does this number also include the grimsvötn eruptions that lasted until 1785?
It should since the laki fissures are part of the grimsvoltin volcano
@@jakealter5504 yea thats what im thinking as well but i wondered since it often sounds like they connect this number with the specific 10month fissure eruption
I think a eruption of Hella would occour with a great lahee.
The leader of the icelandic volcanic institute won't go within 150 km of this volcano and strongly advices everybody else to do the same.
From what I have learned
If you are a powerful country
You best hope Iceland doesn't erupt
Why does the thumbnail look like it was taken in 1970?
Ah, yes, the Bronze Age “O O F.”
Now I know he's using a synthesized voice. He pronounced Eyjafjallajökull absolutely flawlessly. Not only that, when I backed up and played it a few more times, it was still perfect!
👍😂
That’s his real voice.
its HeTLa! Not Hella, cmon((
i think its called the gateway to hell, because its the gateway to hell.
Shake Rattle and run!
hekla is too tired to erupt next vei 0 eruption happens 14.6.4622
Hekla has erupted within our lifetimes and did so without warning, so why can’t it erupt soon ?
You are also the same person who says that Vesuvius won’t erupt until 12,000 years from now. You might be encouraging people to become complacent about a very real danger that can kill thousands !

Pharoah shoulda let the Israelites go.

Joseph and 7 year drought.
Not real history.
Egypt's problems began when they offended the God of Israel.
Joseph's 7 years of drought.
