This is the 3rd or 4th time I've watched this short clip and it never ceases to amaze me. I always forward this clip to friends when we talk about volcanoes.

[@Lady.B.ellinor4971]

I came across this by accident and im glad I did, new Mexico has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth.

[@johnmcnulty4425]

Former Philmont staffer here. A great story from several decades ago was when a couple off duty staffers rolled several tires into the crater of Capulan volcano and lit them on fire just before sunrise so that everyone awoke thinking there was an eruption.

[@katharinecarmichael7759]

I have heard of that. I think it was foolish. Yet! Our Volcanoes, likely a few I believe should go off. Wake people up! Truly. I have said it, & Said it, yet most don't care, cause they are so foolish. Black Mountain and others here are ACTIVE! No such thing as "dead".. That is Not True. Yet I have proof in many ways. Yet others Ignore. When Black Mountain goes off. I won't tell. Since Everyone can't wake up & listen! They wanna lie.

[@haybaler97]

My great grandfather was a Philmont man as well and I remember him telling the same story.

[@johnmcnulty4425]

I always remember the pleasure I had of looking at the siluette of Capulan from Cimarron and from our camp on Uracca Mesa..

I am interested to know that at this time, 2023, if we have more detailed information about these Volcanos and....the period when they were erupting can be tied into other Volcanic events in the Western USA over a period of 100 million years, Wrangelia/Insular Super terrane docking or Silietzia terrane docking at 50 million years ago?

Where the highway cuts through the Carrizozo lava field is something to see. I was not surprised that early date estimates for this 5000 year old flow were around 1500 years - from the sparse vegetation it looks new like maybe 100 years old.

[@omni1omni244]

Would you like green or red chile? Answer: magma

[@greg1030]

While eruptions in NM are unlikely to happen in my lifetime, I surely wish that the mantle and crust were was not as thin as one geologist claimed they are here on the local NM news. He said there's something like 120 volcanic plugs in NM and that quakes as far away as Japan could one day trigger eruptions here. But another recent report from Univ NM said the chances for an eruption in the Belen Socorro area are ~ 1% in 100 years and 10% in 1000 years. So I guess I'm okay-except that the same study says that NM is "planning" for the 7.0 quake they expect will hit ABQ in the not too distant future. And Los Lunas was on my short list for retirement, at least if it's economy improves and diversifies in the next few years.

This may or may not have been good PR on her part but a scientist from Yellowstone Lab wrote an article on the Yellowstone super volcano in Scientific American or Smithsonian mag saying that it, Mt. St. Helen and Mt. Rainer are all high threat category beasts. But that "high threat" is their own rating system and that the likelihood of them blowing is in ~ 100,000. So I figure worst case, one out of the three may blow in ~ 33,000 years. Actually, I'm more worried about driving in NM and suddenly getting swallowed by a sinkhole. Most of NM is too much salt and gypsum in the subsoil. Search [ sinkhole Rio Rancho ], ditto Las Cruces
