Volcano Watch 2008,

Yeah, I have the dvd as well, not a bad program. I think its the Yellowstone one thats scares me the most....then La Palma

It has been two weeks now and the Chaiten volcano in Chile continues to erupt. There may be an end in sight but it isn't because the volcano is running out of material to eject. The eruption may end with an eruption with extreme prejudice. Ok that is probably a seriously dorky way to put it. Is looking like the end will come with a catastrophic explosion and the collapse of the volcano itself. This is what John Seach has to say.

There was already a 3km wide caldera. So we know this volcano has produced a caldera forming eruption in the past. The last eruption was 9,000 years ago. There could be a significant magma chamber under this volcano. Unfortunately nobody knows. I think we are going to find out in the next week or two what this system had built up over the thousands of years. If/When this volcano collapses it could produce a catastrophic explosive eruption that results in whatever was built up under this thing being ejected into the atmosphere in a great hurry.

When the dust settles there will likely be nothing left of the system and it may be a long time before it erupts again. Is this going to be another Krakatau? Or worse and be another Tambora?

Current Active Volcanoes,

A bit more than usual for my liking.

Unlike usual most seem to be on the verge of a large eruption and many many are active, what with the recent seismic activity too…

Lets start from Antartic up through Australasia, Asia, Across Russia and Europe and to Africa, America’s and Pacific.

Mount Ruapehu About to Blow?
Vulcanologists said molten rock appears to be moving higher inside Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand, but it is unclear whether the mountain is about to erupt. "Elevated gas output, high lake temperatures and a volcanic tremor continue to indicate elevated 'unrest' at Ruapehu," GNS Science warned on Tuesday

Thats 34 active volcanoes!!

31 of them seem to be becoming more active or are hovering on full eruptions, a definate pattern if you ask me, and centered on the autralasia, pacific ring of fire... all linked to the chinese tectonic plates.

According to Seach at Volcano Live the volcano Chaiten is still erupting. This makes three straight weeks.

Any bets as to how long this will continue?

And they just had a nice size earth quake in LOS LAGOS, CHILE
Maybe some thing to do with the volcano

Awsome Pictures! That is some bad azz freaky looking stuff there! The first few pics look like a giant fire breathing dragon!

The Los Lagos, Chile quake is about 100 to 120km (or so) from the volcano. I think that would be a bit far to be related.

Looking at the big picture i personaly think 120 km is nothing

When you look at the 7.8 earth quake in China was felt in Beijing over 1500km from Sichuan province.

I might be just looking too hard


Yes i understand that the one in Chile was smaller

Mount St Helens has been quiescent for 6 months now, but there was some activity in the skies above it last night..

Chile's Llaima volcano is again on red alert, Lava was spewing a few days back and has yet to calm,

And also the words most active volcano in Hawaii’ the Kilauea volcano has also been spewing lava,

There are currently 37 volcanoes erupting and earthquakes are numerous, there is ice melting at the North Pole and I think scientist are clueless as to what is really happening. This should be headline news.
