This Week in Volcano News; Sakurajima Evacuations, Raung Produces a New Eruption

[@GeologyHub]

In the last 24 hours, a significant earthquake swarm also began in Iceland on the Reykjanes peninsula. I plan to cover this subject in tomorrow’s video.

[@temosofthecommunistrepubli2637]

When will the next vei 7 eruption happen?

[@Kaue1722]

Acabou de ocorrer 2 tremores de 5.0 lá na Islândia.

VEI 7？

[@fake6168]

i just tuned in on one of the live cams and could instantly witness an earthquake xd 17:48 on the clock

I've got family in Ecuador; I've seen some other volcanoes off-gassing during a recent tour, and I'm paying close attention to the one at the border of Colombia & Ecuador. A brother-in-law is a geophysical scientist there.

[@jacksonkruse1794]

I love your videos man. One of the best channels out there! Keep it up

[@JPA66]

Grindavik area of Iceland is a couple clusters of earthquakes the past couple days. Just has a 5.2 just a few minutes ago.

[@ThomasWLalor]

For our edification: an episode explaining / comparing phreatic, Strombolian, magmatic, (and others I didn't catch) eruptions would be helpful. I'll GOOGLE those terms but might not be able to cipher what they mean.

[@kevinfelix2543]

happy to see how much your channel has grown:)

[@KittyPurrsMistress]

Thank you for this informative update.

[@NGC-catseye]

🌋Thanks MrHub😺

[@matthewabln6989]

I appreciate this new tier listing. Rumbles and bumbles out of the ordinary are to be minded. Excellent work as always.

[@thareallaura77]

You are so thorough. I love your channel!

[@luannvondracek439]

Truly enjoy your straight information presentation. I've learned a lot from you and enjoy the volcanic goings on of this planet. Happy too to see your subscribers increasing by leaps and bounds.

[@wendyon4517]

I don't know about the other volcanoes but you've researched Sakurajima well enough for the video. Very clear and with good visuals. I live in the city across the bay from it.

[@glennk.7348]

Your channel has opened my eyes to the amazing volcanic activity on our earth!! Super interesting! 🙂

[@KillberZomL4D42494]

Thanks for providing us these informations.

[@kevinanderson5658]

Why don't media don't mention aira ? sakurajima gets bit confusing at least you give us all in depth knowledge thank you 😊 🙏

[@smeegle213]

LOVE the Fissure 17 clip at the end!

[@25scigirl]

Great video! On the list of volcanoes under "minor unrest," you put the Campi Flegrei volcano down twice, but it's okay. In the next video, please make sure that you only put each volcano once. Have you done a video on a volcano called Mount Garibaldi in Canada? I noticed that there are volcanoes in Canada and I hope to see them in future videos. Isn't there a volcano on Baffin Island or on some other islands that are North of the mainland? These volcanoes are probably not studied much because of their location(s), but I would like to know more about them, if possible. Thank you for posting and for keeping everybody updated!

[@jjMcCartan9686]

He's a busy guy lol you've got a nerve to say make sure you only put each volcano once .🙄🙄

[@richiehoyt8487]

Like New York (New York), Campi Flegrei is "So good they named it twice!"...

[@FoxSolomon1]

Looks like a new magma intrusion is happening in Iceland too.

[@blackjack9929]

Iceland Fagradalsfjall intense seismic activity, alert level raised to Yellow

[@b.a.erlebacher1139]

@Lurking Carrier Different volcanic system. Fagradalsfjall was the small, "tourist" eruption last year, producing insignificant amounts of ash. Its only effect on air travel was bringing in huge mobs of tourists. The bad ones are the very large, old volcanoes further east. They've been showing some unrest, but I get the impression that they often do.

[@SpaceLover-he9fj]

Sakurajima really deserves its classification as a “Decade Volcano”.

[@I.amthatrealJuan]

Looks like you raised the threshold of your "Significant Unrest" category because there are none or only one when there were many previously.

[@adriennefloreen]

If Sakurajima is at alert level 5 for a normal eruption, what would the alert level be if the whole super volcano was about to erupt again? Because it seems like they need a level number for that. Or maybe at that point they would call it "Alert Level Oh ****!"

[@jefferyindorf699]

To keep it light, that would be " ALERT LEVEL GODZILLA".

[@adriennefloreen]

@@jefferyindorf699 But what color would the triangle be?

[@plathanosthegrape5569]

The Chiles-Cerro negro volcanic complex has a caldera in the south called Potrerillos and that is where more earthquakes are taking place and it is where the uplift is taking place Note: There are two calderas with the same name and well, it is not the 65 million years old Potrerillos caldera of the country Chile, it is the Potrerillos caldera of the Chiles Cerro Negro volcanic complex.

[@psalmerperena4120]

There's also another caldera just east of Potrerillos called Chalpatan. There's also a volcano named Horqueta. All of them are affected by this uplift and it may mean all of them are one volcanic group/complex. I don't want to scare people but the volcanic groups with viscous lava/magma undergoing this kind of activity have the potential to undergo a large explosive caldera event. Unknown to many even to some Ecuadorians themselves, Ecuador has large calderas as big and as powerful as that of Long Valley caldera in California, USA. Ecuador is no stranger to major caldera activity like most South American countries within the Andes region.

[@williamevans6522]

Nice LIDAR

[@FatsquatchPNW]

Uhm, is there a particular reason you have Campi Flegrei on the list twice?

[@brossmart]

Why is Campi Flegrei mentioned twice in the same category ??

[@LinKerns]

Rangitoto?

[@LadyAnuB]

So your Slight Unrest category is for those volcanoes that are deviating from their past history but not enough to warrant minor worry about them?

[@funnyperson4027]

I don’t know what it says about me but I find the name “Heard Island” very funny

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

Rinjani at red? What's happening there?

[@Florahitman]

Fernandina is calming down? Has been in the red for a long time.

[@woodchuck306]

Drake Passage, between South America and Antarctica, looks like something pushed through and over the sea floor causing subduction zone style volcanoes named the Sandwich Islands. What caused this obviously moving feature?

[@sambeloreo730]

As an Indonesian, Raung spelled phonetically RA OONG not ree ang

[@shawnbrunel8471]

Something big might be brewing in the raung and iceland volcano

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

Many volcanoes at Iceland are showing unrest but none are erupting which is concerning.

[@RSimpkinuk57]

I'm sorry to say I disagree with descriptions used in the list of non-erupting volcanoes to watch out for. The "minor", "major", "significant" progression is counter-intuitive to an English-speaking non-vulcanologist. "Minor" for yellow, "moderate" for orange and "serious" for red would be clearer.

[@Pollen112]

At what point does it go from "wow so many eruptions early in the year" to "oh wow something is causing increased volcanism"? Because I'm getting a bad vibe from the combination of solar activity spiking and the amount of seismic activity, especially since there's been some interesting papers talking about potential structures like the LLSVs being responsible for an electrodynamic couple between the Earth's Core and the Solar Wind. Genuinely asking because i work at a science museum and I'd like to be able to give a solid response when people ask. (Which the do)

[@jamieleasure9067]

Unfortunately you are not the only one to get a bad vibe about it all.

[@mateberg]

For you, what risk would it be for it to give you a bad feeling? What could happen?

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

How dangerous are lava bombs?

[@nortyfiner]

They can weigh as much as a car and be thrown up to several kilometers. You can work out in your own head how much force that implies when they land. They can easily damage structures or kill people.

[@susanl7514]

There are so many instances of people dodging them in videos, lucky souls.

[@b.a.erlebacher1139]

They can start fires, too.

It's very fertile soil. Most live in the part furthest from the caldera but there is an elementary school on the side closest to it.
