Taal Volcano Eruption Update; Largest Eruption in 3 Years, Pyroclastic Flows Scorch 3 Km²

[@Dranzerk8908]

The guy in the boat fishing on camera had zero worry. lol He is like "stop bothering me volcano im fishing".

[@chrisbrown1462]

Exactly.

[@ClarencegHamm]

One side of the lake is continuous fish pens

[@dienadel30]

Actually I don't think he realized it until the boom caught up to him. Then he started rowing real fast seeing that cloud moving toward him.

[@scrappydoo7887]

Yet another interesting and to date piece of geological information for us all 👍👍

[@williamlloyd3769]

Visited Taal in late 1970s when the entire area was a lush place and people lived all around the crater. Must be a lot different now!

[@ClarencegHamm]

Barren and the big cone has wildfire three times last few years, laurel same,talisay same

[@Lucariocypher2006]

Yeah after it erupted in 2020 it destroyed every single plant animal and evaporated every drop of water on it

[@scrappydoo7887]

Its very similar to accidental dropping of molten metal onto concrete. It'll definitely create a bang that you dont want to experience again

[@xwiick]

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

[@53Artemis]

Kaboom!! Great video, thank you.

[@SevereWeatherCenter]

I saw the eruption the other day. It was definitely large. Definitely magma/water driven.

[@williamthethespian]

To non volcanologists, ANY of the ones you tell us about is leaves us awestruck.

[@NorCalMtnBiker86]

Never thought of putting an ordinary rock on a camp fire would make it crack and explode

[@Nightscape_]

I'm so happy I am not forced to live near a volcano.

[@jcim6438]

Thanks.

[@ClarencegHamm]

I have the most fascinating pictures from there 2 months ago

[@Vesuviusisking]

Taal is very interesting as a volcano

[@d.t.4523]

Thank you, keep working.

[@nakor667]

You should cover Tsingy de Bemaraha in Madagascar. Crazy limestone needle forests!

[@yourtubisfilled7164]

Taal is scary.

[@iluvbacnotan7977]

I was there 6 weeks ago. We took a tour around the island. Half hour after we got off, There was a teeny eruption.

[@Lethal_Venom]

Boom goes they dynamite 🧨

[@RadicalLinguisticDescriptivism]

Dang! My fishing trip to Taal lake is canceled now I guess... Thanks volcano.

[@xaviersavedra711]

Compared to a VEI 7, the index 4 it produced in 2020 was pretty small. It would be cool to see a volcano like this go bigbadaboom, but it would be better if it was some very remote volcano, located where very few people live. Great that no one was injured in the plinian eruption.

[@AaronGeo]

Not me watching an EAS scenario video about supervolcanoes 😭 (by eltic)

[@Vesuviusisking]

Taal is debatable as a super volcano

[@Icanlogonnow]

Damn 0.2 ph? Naturally occuring wow.

[@iselfidentifyah64eapache]

I wonder if Taal's VEI-7 caused some significant impact on the world at the time it happened. At around 4,000 BCE neolithic societies were already farming and the first cities were already established by then. I wonder the effect of that on the societies living in SEAsia, let alone Luzon itself.

[@brianreddeman951]

Human + close proximity to active volcano = bad.

[@bethanys8841]

Can you do a video of the world’s largest fully volcanic islands please? Like a top 10 or something. I have always been fascinated with volcanic islands

[@christophereadgbe2976]

Video speed up 2X but guy in the boat still not going fast enough.

[@nigels.6051]

0.2 PH ? That is battery acid, but people swim in Taal crater lake... how does that work?

[@Cerbera66]

They swim there? Really in the small crater lake, you don't mean the bigger crater lake?

[@EatsLikeADuck]

Nobody swims in the crater lake at the summit of the volcano more than once.

[@Cerbera66]

@@EatsLikeADuck yes, only one time 🙄🤔😁

[@nigels.6051]

@@Cerbera66 I'm probably confused by the names, Tim did say "0.2pH Crater Lake", which appears to me to be the big one, while the small one is called "Main Crater Lake", but I don't know the area, so I may be wrong. He did also say "on Taal Island", which I took to be the big island, but appears to be the small island. Confusing!

[@Florahitman]

Well with an island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island. Its understandable.

[@whiteknightcat]

THIRD!

You sound a bit tipsy today.😅

[@markdowse3572]

The dude in the boat seems totally unbothered by the noisy volcano! 🤣 M 🦘🏏😎
