Shawn recently came back from Iceland-The Iceman Cometh, yet Hawaii beckoned his call. But he stayed in Idaho because he couldn't find his surfboard. 😉 Imagine if we had additional eruptions worldwide? Nothing to crack up about! Thanks always for the updates Shawn. 👍💖

Thanks for the great answer.

Late to the party but the dinosaur? Crochettisaurus willseyi 😊

Re the supervolcano question, everything has to be "super", these days. Have you noticed how we keep hearing about "supermoons"? That's because there are three or four "supermoons" every year. They're a total non-event: they're not unusual, and they're not even noticeable unless somebody tells you about it.

Love the banding.

Bedankt

Yes can see you

Welcome back! Great information on the two eruptions. You could name the dinosaur Rhododendrons.

We can rule out any possibility of effects from solar storms that cause energetic particles to hit the very top of Earth’s atmosphere to reach the many kilometers deep rocks and magma that cause volcanic eruptions. I am a geophysicist.

Regularly share your comments, drone views, Etc. With my three adult children and six grandchildren

11:36p please give me a shout out as I inform 6 gkids from 13 down to 6 years old getting their interest and education in geology

KK in salt Lake always watching since my daughter's went to Iceland few months ago

Enjoy your rover cruise. I heard parts of the rhine are closed for shipping due to high water. The Eiffel area used to be a supervolcano so maybe you can still get a bit of a geology excursion.

Fantastic! I made the summit on Sep. 24, 2023. The weather was perfect. Now about your mention regarding the challenge of ascending the summit block... That was no lie! I moved slowly and made numerous stops. Well worth the effort though. Thanks for sharing the geology of the region.

Interesting

Yes loud and clear

Looking forward to the new Iceland videos! So much volcanic activity around the world at the moment.

Kilauea has fizzled out for now. I live on the big island. When lava flowed in this same rift in 1974, it lasted 6 hours. Watched the lava flow earlier today. It's all smoke now.

Geolosaurus Seanus is a name or a Willseysaurus

Please do not go away again. We in Denver discovered you when we gathered here for the holidays. We all became just nascent geologists with a burgeoning technical vocabulary and developing an ability to sort of understand English with an Icelandic accent. It was must see tv with morning coffee. Suddenly, one morning, there was lava, loads of lava, and fire and fury ... and no Shawn. No Shawn with all the Metro Office charts and graphs and graphics and easy to follow explanations... i was lost, deserted, despondent and totally in the dark about what was happening. But today, there was Shawn ... all is well with the world again!! 🌎 Seriously, I have learned so much from you. You are a good teacher ... I didn't fall asleep once! You've brought me to a section of science I had admired but never really understod, and I'm loving it!! Sorry your time in Iceland wasn't more exciting, but it did seem highly unstable. Will be making a contribution. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING !! Veronica in Denver

Very nice. Can u interpret any effect of the basin and range extension at this out crop? Cheers

yes

Thank you Professor.

Love the idea of the geology 101 courses with a quiz!

So being colour blind have you tried colour Crome glasses to correct your colour blindness?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the current state of things in Iceland. My mother’s family emigrated from Iceland in 1900 to Lundar, Manitoba, Canada. Your updates are therefore of interest to me. 🇨🇦

Loud and clear in E Tennessee.

hi from NYC I hear you

Hello from Lethbridge, Alberta

Great report, Shawn. Thanks so much!

How about the Civil Defence Cave, Ice Cave and ajoining lava tubes.

Hey Shawn, what are the chances of a flank collapse with that new crack in the flank?

hi from Melbourne. Can see and hear you

❤

Hi there... When u zoom out a bit on Google earth whole Iceland looks like one big Crater... I would call it Megavulkan with this big crack too from north- to southpole😳

Aloha from Hawai’i island. Mauna Loa summit webcam caught the eruption start, it shows up as an orange glow. The eruption just paused at 3:09pm HST

Icelandic Explorer KZbin channel just posted his drone flight video from today. Worth a view!

5by5 from pocatello id

The ongoing eruption has gone through the spatter cone created in the last recent eruption, and it looks like it’s remained open there

Thanks!

Thanks

Also eagerly watching from Portland, Oregon

Eifel national park is not too far from the rhine (from Bonn another beautiful town)

Is the park still open to view the eruption, or do they close the park?

Thanks for geology 101 episode 1 - Strong start!
