[@Sunburn2508]

Come to Italy, then. You can climb up Stromboli, a volcano that erupts regularly many times per day. The best is to climb in tue afternoon to be on the top when it’s dark, so you can see the lava spills better. It’s quite safe, because generally it’s a predictable volcano… but you can’t be 100% sure… sometimes it erupts violently or some big rock crumble into the sea - but this is the adventure we all are looking for, right? 😁 Also Etna volcano in Sicily can offer some beautiful shows, but we never know when it wakes up.

I'm from St Vincent, but I live in Barbados. The ash plume deposited more ash on Barbados than it did on many areas of St Vincent. It was almost apocalyptic here in Barbados. Black as night, ash everywhere. You couldn't stop it from getting into your house, your car. Even now I find bits of it. In 1979 there was also another eruption, and we were there on vacation. That was also quite bad. I was 4, but I remember it so well.

[@realbrat40]

I will never forget that day as long as I live. I'm Bajan and we still sometimes find bits too, in window sills that we washed down after all the ash clouds had passed and bag or two of ash that didn't get collected, they are rock solid now, like concrete. Never want to go through that again but I won't complain cause it could have been worse and I can't image what those on the island were going through. Hope everything is back to normal now.

Another excellent presentation! Volcanic danger can catch even officials by surprise. Once in Guatemala, I joined a guided climb up Pacaya Volcano in the National Park. While up in the crater where we examined a recent lava flow, the summit vent exploded with a sonic boom. We all got down safely. Months later the Volcano devested the area in a fit of wrath. I will never forget the gut punch that explosion made through my body.

Yeah let's just stand there and film a volcano erupting.. natural selection at its finest... especially on the brother of krakatoa the 1883 eruption that literally blew its self apart.. if I remember correctly the sound was so loud it traveled around the earth 6 times or more) The coolest thing I ever saw on a live cam of Yellowstone (I don't dare to even to go there, because well my leg sometimes gives out and if I was on a boardwalk and that happened .. either 3rd degree burns or worse) but on the live cam I seen multiple geyser eruptions it was awesome to see

[@lisasteel6817]

Indonesia actually has a quite advanced tsunami early warning system that includes ocean sensor buoys connected to sirens and text warnings. The only reason the system failed in 2018 is because some of the sensors were stolen and the warning issued was ignored by locals who had become complacent by many warnings that turned out to only be “mini” tsunamis and the sirens had no back up batteries when they lost power by the quake, they weren’t able to sound a warning. There are many ongoing efforts to fix these problems so there is no repeat warning failure.

[@georgespaceagency9894]

Ohh, i guess that's why i never heard the warning in 2018 in Lampung. Only the lower parts of the city were affected and there were minor floods, although Banten was affected the most. Then again, the eruption already occurred a week before the major one, i had the chance to see it

in most case the explosion size is usual since santa maria is strombolian type, vanuatu is a lava lake, you can even predict etna fountain size. so yes they are in a dead zone, but the timed release of heat/material/gas release make them predictable and you can establish you own safe zone if you know your volcanoes, close enough for be safe 99% of time, with lifetime sound, smell, sight show, but with 1% risk to get killed or hurt with anormal release.... but some guys in the video like krakatoa or sivelush clearly dont know those volcanoes, for the crazy guy trying it, use drones at least you loose only money :p and check data of volcanoe eq/deformation/gas etc..its public data.

[@greenman6141]

I want to point out that the sacrifices people make to Mt Bromo - the animals and food stuffs mentioned - it's much less grim than it sounds. The people who are throwing items IN, stand on the rim, & gently toss their items. But there's a crowd of other people, about 10 feet down, who catch or pick up everything, and carry it right back up to the rim and then home with them. So, food that is thrown in, doesn't get wasted. Animals thrown in - end up back in a village or town. The only sacrifice element is that the throwers are sacrificing their ability to benefit from their item. But it is neither polluting, wasteful nor cruel. Though I can't attest to the long term health and living status of the animals.
