This Week in Volcano News; White Island Erupts, Kelimutu's Unusual Activity

[@GeologyHub]

I have some good news! The remaining $35.65 from the larger pool which everyone donated for Ruang's volcano relief was just given to help the victims of Mount Marapi's deadly recent lahar. This means that all of the original donation money has now been spent on volcano disaster relief in Indonesia! Good job everyone!

[@ThatOpalGuy]

well done.

[@karabean]

Are you doing another Q&A video? I was curious to know what's the record for largest amount of active volcanoes at any given period.

[@JanjayTrollface]

Terima Kasih Banyak, Mas! And grats on the sub milestone *8 )

[@chadsimmons6347]

The different colored crater pools,,was bizarre I'm going to print the photo,, then hang it in my small shop/office (thankx-professor)

[@sekar9901]

​@@chadsimmons6347 3:21 I read local news here that Ata Polo crater lake changes it's color from turquoise to brown then black, not the color displayed in the video.

[@tthappyrock368]

Congratulations on the 300k subs! Interesting about the water color changes!

[@TheBelrick]

"Unexpected eruption" No. There are scientismists who like shamans of old have no clue that Volcano's are electrical. Then there are those who knew that due to the incredible amount of current dumped into the earth from May 10 solar flares that there will be EXPECTED eruptions.

[@luannvondracek439]

Congratulations on 300k! You've opened a whole new part of this planet to me and your hard work is deeply appreciated. (No puns intended.)

[@citylimits8927]

Yes! 300K is a milestone worth celebrating!

[@billrobbins5874]

Nice to know these areas around active volcanoes have an alert level. Doesn't guarantee safety but at least allows local residents to use precaution. ♥️👍

[@thatonewwefanguy2006]

Been watching for a few years, congrats on the 300k man.

[@fajaradi1223]

This channel almost become a weekly news of Indonesia. Thanks for reporting tho!

[@CrimsonSw1ft]

A for effort in trying to say Whakatane! If I was to give some advice in case us kiwis have more volcanic activity, 'Wh' has a strong 'F' sound, and 'Tane' is pronounces 'Ta-Nay' phonetically. All up would be 'Fah-ka-ta-nay' said fairly fluidly :) Hope that helps!

[@bubbabigmin]

It won't help. I've been trying to get him to pronounce Taupo correctly for years lol

[@evilsharkey8954]

I learned that from the Netflix documentary on the deadly eruption.

[@MihzvolWuriar]

Congratulations on the 300k mate, you deserve it. BTW, I had acquaintances who were at the deadly white island eruption a few years back, and I always remember their stories about it, scary AF.

[@stargaten.z5142]

White Island is shrowded in smoke cloud this morning 27th May 10.40am. The nearly 4mag yesterday ( Sunday morning @ 9.02am was 'different.' There was a noise like a wind then a very sharp jolt. Not usual. Usual is a rumble then shaking side to side or a rolling wave. It is not usual for 3×eruptions in successive days. No.

it's amazing how many volcanoes are active in Indonesia. I hope the locals stay vigilant.

[@jjMcCartan9686]

The whole country & area is a major plate boundary collision so not that surprising.

[@b.a.erlebacher1139]

IIRC, something like a quarter of the world's active volcanoes are in Indonesia.

[@SuzD0n]

Indonesia is extremely geologically active, being part of the Pacific 'ring of fire'. Unfortunately this is their norm. They suffer huge earthquakes too - the 2004 boxing day Tsunami originated there.

[@judybrian4826]

Another fabulous volcano update! Any plans to celebrate your 300k subs? If not, might I suggest something along the lines of a vid about the known state of earths geology 300k years ago? Though I know 300k years doesn't amount to much in geologic timescales maybe a quick recap of known major events around the time period?

[@carmellapicard5742]

Thanks.

[@Amalgamotion]

Always a fan of your video's and I know that you pride yourself on pronouncing the volcano's and town's correctly. So I wanted to inform you that in the Maori language if a thing starts with WH that's similar to an America PH sound. Kia ora mate! keep up the amazing videos

Huh looks like Phreatic is the flavour of the week:) Scares me more than most because it almost never has any warning signs.

[@spychopath]

The number of these volcano explosions that are described as "unexpected" is a testament to how dangerous these things are.

[@michaelellringer5600]

In the 1600's, the biggest volcanic eruption in the world occurred in Peru, and, it cooled off the Entire planet for one year.

The volcano: 💦💨🔥 Indonesian: "continues to work casually" The volcano: 💥💨🔥💦 Indonesian: Yeah-yeah, we gonna do something about you later. Man, this happened 9 times already this past week, give me a break (continuing to finish work casually).. I hope White Island does not carry out explosive eruptions, man. If it could, can it trigger a tsunami tho?

This is crazy i JUST watched "the volcano" documentary about the 2019 eruption that killed tourists.

[@kaihumphreys96]

I think there’s activity happening at Mt Pinatubo and Kilauea along with earthquakes happening on Mt Teide in Tenerife

[@ProgPiglet]

gud work soldier

[@bravezelgius]

Could you by chance do a video talking about Kelimutu (and other similar volcanos with a crater lake) and why the two different lakes are a different color although they are very close to one another? I assume its mostly heat but I figure various minerals might have a hand in it too. Even if its just a short that'd be cool!

[@sekar9901]

He had a dedicated video about kelimutu back then.

[@legendary_flag_clips]

I hope everyone is okay near White Island!

[@stevenfarrow2377]

Yeah mate, it's 50km off shore. No one's been allowed on the island since the 2019 eruptions, which is why the monitoring equipment is no longer working. The prevailing wind means even a large eruption is unlikely to have any physical effect on anyone

[@MinecraftDelivery]

Yea everyone’s okay, White Island is always been a very active volcano, there was a major eruption from White Island in 2001 which caused parts of the volcano to collapse,

[@BMrider75]

[@stargaten.z5142]

White Island has calmed. A small black discharge. ( that is never good. Usual is a white plume). 3.40pm. Monday 27th May 2024. There is a small sttlement 'Tirohonga'. They often get the sulphur smell and fall. N.E. of the Island. A plane flight inspection on Saturday revealed recent Sulphur deposit in the Crater. Nominal ash the report said but the folks at Tirohonga said otherwise.

[@ten40tv]

People aren't allowed on white island anymore and it can only be seen by helicopter. White Island belongs to and is governed by the Maori people of New Zealand. They declared white island sacred ground after the 2020 eruption killed 22 people. Some of the dead's bodies were never found on white island or were unreachable. So the Maori declared it sacred land to honor those who are left behind and let them rest in peace. This designation by the Maori means that nobody can ever set foot on the island again, and anyone who does will likely face heavy penalties by the Maori and New Zealand government for desiccating sacred lands.
