This is what the volcano on La Palma looked like before the eruption - La Palma - Canary Islands

Cumbre Vieja is very dangerous.
The eruption of this volcano can cause megatsunami with waves up to 300 m.
Since 2017, scientists have warned that Cumbre Vieja could explode at any time.
The eruption began on September 19, 2021 and is currently ongoing.

I was in Volcano Village, Hawaii, when Mauna Kea erupted on the other side of the world a couple years ago, and it was very similar to this. These islands on both oceans are absolutely beautiful, but one forgets about the fierce forces that created them and are still at work beneath one’s feet.

[@BeaglefreilaufKalkar]

Lets not forget that the whole island was formed like this, eruption after eruption after eruption.

[@Katya_Lastochka]

Yes, thats how islands form. But obviously scientists worry for a reason. For one thing, its unique geology. For another, it has a very steep drop not far from its shorelines. Its the combo thats deadly, and La Palma has been cited as one of the biggest potential threats.

Bruh... As a La Palma native I felt the need to address this. All good footage and the first two minutes were quite nice, up until the point of the "traces of last eruption" (2:21). At that point the video becomes a bit sensationalist. Those "traces" are from a much older volcano, NOT the 1971 eruption (Teneguía) which happened far to the south of the island. The "mega-tsunami" is not coming for at least a few thousand years (if it even happens at all ;DD). And to answer the title of the video... "what the volcano looked like before the eruption" - it did not. There was no volcano. It was a normal "hill" where anyone could go for a walk up until lava started coming out of the ground and piling up to create the "volcanic cone" you can see now. I understand that the drama of natural disasters attracts views but at least add some accurate explanations. Thank you for reading.

Ok, but explain to me one thing: how can you say in one sentence about volcano and then, in the next sentence, that there was no volcano?

[@astridschultheis35]

@@jestekrytykie2155 On La Palma there are a lot of old volcanic craters to be seen, what is usually called "volcano". The new eruption did not come from such a crater, but the eruption took place on a completely normal slope. During the week-long eruption and the ash rain, a mountain with one or more craters has formed. Before there was no mountain, the landscape has now completely changed. Strictly speaking, the whole island is a volcano / volcanic.

The video is very good, but the claims of some scientists about the possibility of a megastunami have since been discredited.

It is considered a small, effussive, and midly explosive Strobolian type with a VEI (volcano explosivity index) of only 2 on a scale of 8. Still, very spectacular at close range, and disastrous for those who have lost homes and livelihoods.

Hi, been there twice in the late 90's and hiked on her ridges, so on her cones. It was terribly difficult to hike because of the heat and drought, sometimes there were pine forests but above the trees nothing than black sand. But she is beautiful and it fills me with sadness that she destroyed so many Palmese people their houses and banana crops. But that is the risk of living on an island made by volcano's, you never know exactly when they wake up and come alive. I felt never unsafe on her ridges strangely but not. Both times I stayed in Los Llanos de Aridane near the big Caldera de Taburiente, on the westside of the island, very friendly people and delicious manchego cheeses and local wines. If airplanes will fly on less Co2 fluids then hopefully I will return because this island is in my heart after such an long time I visited her. For now I wish and pray that the people there are safe and Cumbre Vieja only released some manmade tension and pressure, I don't believe in those fearmonging predictions in this video.

Thanks for the excellent video, Doreen. It's heart-rending to see what people have lost. Thankfully, nobody has lost their life yet. The mega tsunami idea has been debunked, as far as scientists can tell. The presenter and producer of one of the original TV programmes about it admitted that the shows were only proposing an idea, to gain ratings, and that it was not a scientifically proven fact. Yes there can be tsunamis from those islands, but even the huge 'Boxing Day' earthquake (Magnitude 9.3, IIRC) in the Indian Ocean, where around 1,300 km of ocean floor shifted by up to 50 metres vertically, produced a much smaller tsunami than the one proposed in the entertainment shows. The biggest tsunami ever recorded had a confirmed wave height of less than 100 metres or so. A change of Magnitude of 1 digit represents a factor of 10 in total power. It's a logarithmic scale, with Magnitude 10 reckoned to be impossible, because the planet would be torn apart completely. So a Magnitude 9.3 earthquake has 2,000 times as much power as a Magnitude 6.0 earthquake. Mag. 6 is the biggest that scientists expect from the La Palma eruption, and most have been less than M 4.0; or about 0.0005% of the power of the Indian Ocean event. Let's hope that this eruption stops soon. There is cause for optimism: Average duration for all 7 properly verified events over the past 700 years on La Palma is about 55 days, ant the last two, in 1949 and 1971, ended after around 4 to 5 weeks.
