The Catastrophic 1886 Eruption of Mount Tarawera

#newzealand #mounttarawera #volcanoeruption
In this captivating video, we delve into one of New Zealand's most significant geological events - the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera. This catastrophic event not only reshaped the landscape but also led to the creation of the mesmerizing Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley.

Oh how I wish we could see the pink & white terraces again! Off topic - Digging for Britain series 11 ep 1 they searched for tephra in an abandoned Anglo-Saxon settlement, found it was covered by an ash cloud in the 6th century from a previously unknown Icelandic volcano eruption from Askja due to the chemical analysis - just amazing!

Thanks for sharing, that really is amazing! What a discovery!

[@Eric_Hutton.1980]

New Zealand is a place I really want to visit. Such a beautiful place and geologically fascinating.

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

It’s an amazing place to visit! I hope you get the chance one day soon to do so!

I've always loved how the tip of the north island is just this massive hodgepodge of overlapping calderas and volcanic centers, including several large VEI-7 producing features and a few VEI-8/Supervolcanos. I can't think really of a single other concentrated area on the planet so violently eruptive.

Yes the pink and white terraces was a considerable loss to New Zealand’s natural wonders. A bit like Uluru sinking beneath the sand in Australia. All we have are a few old grainy black and whites from early photography. Apparently it was quite a place and a big tourist draw, even back when tourism was a relatively new concept.

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

It was truly a unique and special place. It's a shame that it's been decimated beyond repair :(

Good to see 😅 your teaching on geology and geography from the well respected down and under. As I'm from the up and over we are no longer taught geology or geographies 😢.

[@kishensookoo7815]

Awesome video bro 👌 👍

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Thank you so much my brother! I hope all is well for you! 😀

[@gryphnwnggrl]

Oooh, 1st comment? I love anything about new Zealand's geology ❤

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Thanks for watching! More to come :)

You forgot the best part of the story: The ghost canoe of Lake Tarawera.

[@v.britton4445]

Love volcanoes.

[@Falkaroa]

Could you also maybe talk about the near complete loss of the Wairakei geyser valley and other geothermal sites due to exploitation?

[@Replicanna]

awww.. they look so much like Pamukkale in Turkey, so sad the pink and white terraces were lost 😢

If u say tudda wedda fast youll be pretty close to nailing the pronunciation

[@TheREALPoriruaTrainspotter]

the water level at Lake Rotomahana was rising during the eruption too

[@davidvavra9113]

As long as Mt Rainier behaves

[@pustakarileks7404]

It's name tarawera? What's it mean? Red soil?

[@tremors536]

When you mention a volcanic eruption as the possible apocalypse, people laugh. They have zero idea.

[@bradneubauer4694]

Now I have to Google 'basaltic dike'.
