I am i. an asthmatic ii. lazy. So I will never go to the Moon, the Antarctic or the lip of a slumbering volcano. Which is sad, because all are swell.

Anyway, volcanoes... Have you seen one blow? Did it a. suck, or b. not? How close would you go? What's the downside (apart from the obvious)?

I LOVE volcanoes, I would LOVE to go and watch Mount Etna erupt. Obviously if you live near one they are not so great but they are totally brilliant. I was very disappointed when I went to Iceland and did not see a volcano erupting. However I was given a bit of lava in a test tube which went a teeny way to making up for this.

Do people who live near volcanoes have very smooth feet?

come to kamchatka in russia. that is mad as fuck: totally on the edge of the world (about 30 mins away from the last time zone between russia and america:cross it and you go back 21 hours!!!!!) very hard to get there though. michael palin went there in that 'full circle' program. although i dont know how activer the volcanos are there. petropavolsk kamchatku is built just underneath 2 volcanoes...

I used to have horrible fears of volcanoes when I was about 9. Terrified of them, I used to make emergency plans for what I'd do if one ever errupted in London.

1st time I was in argentina, about 2 wks after arrival, with still little spanish, woke up looked out the window and saw lots of dust flying around - through use of tele, paper etc realised it was volcanic ash from an eruption in chile.

doc abt volcano on the island of santorini GRATE for several reasons viz:
i) Volcano is in sea so when blew caused tidal wave cue much rubbish CGI tidal wave action
ii) shots of pyroclastic flow
iii) Minoan girlies as depicted on famous wall-painting wore dresses w.tits out: in documentary re-enactment no lady is seen to dissent from stated fashion trend (men all dressed as bull jumpers = muscly in loincloths, so win-win, except everyone was choed, buried or fricasseed chiz chiz)
iv) Atlantis connection

― mark s, Tuesday, 23 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

v) 40 cubic kilometers of magma = largest eruption in recorded history

I am sorry: my brane is a crack whore for this stuff. The doc in question = meretricious times a million but I am gripped.

I live in Washington -- the Volcano state!

Personally, I'm more worried about a big earthquake here in Seattle, but if Mt. Rainier decides to blow, I'm sure I'll have to get the fuck outta dodge for a small while... though I wouldn't fear for my life. That's for the people in Tacoma.

Dang, that made no since, sense I left out a few sensinces. Volcanoes are like American football is what I meant to say. Harsh and confusing in person; somewhat orderly and hilarious on tee vee. Then I threw some stoic philosophy in there. How predictable.

Bulge in Yellowstone Lake worries scientists

I've been fascinated by volcanoes since a young age. We used to vacation in Seattle every summer, but then skipped 1980 due to Mt. St. Helens, and then I saw the TV program about the eruption and got the accompanying book. Visited it at least twice and want to climb it someday. I also read something about Krakatoa as a kid. Want to go to Volcanoes NP.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 2 August 2003 14:01 (twenty-two years ago)

isn't there a massive calderon several miles across under yellowstone just waiting to blow up with plumes of ash and destruction that will reach denver or detroit or somewhere?

ie scale of "it did for the dinosaurs/minoan civ/atlantis?"

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 2 August 2003 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

volcanoes are super, especially when they're SUPERVOLCANOES.

'It is little known that lying underneath one of The United States largest and most picturesque National Parks - Yellowstone Park - is one of the largest "super volcanoes" in the world.

The term "supervolcano" has no specifically defined scientific meaning. It was used by the producers of The BBC TV show Horizion in 2000 to refer to volcanoes that have generated Earth's largest volcanic eruptions. As such, a supervolcano would be one that has produced an exceedingly large, catastrophic explosive eruption and a giant caldera.

Scientists have revealed that Yellowstone Park has been on a regular eruption cycle of 600,000 years. The last eruption was 640,000 years ago…so the next is overdue. The next eruption could be 2,500 times the size of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption.

...

Such an eruption would disrupt global climate by injecting millions of tons of ash into the atmosphere. Some of the ash would remain in the atmosphere for years, reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet, significantly affecting life. In addition, a blanket of ash over a meter thick would be deposited in nearby regions and effectively smother life there...'

But British Airways's attempts to land 12 of the 26 long-haul planes heading to the UK at London Heathrow have been thwarted after the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) vetoed the plan and said no flights would be landing at the airport this evening. The 12 planes were diverted to Newcastle and elsewhere, including Brussels.

"The major barrier to resuming flight has been understanding tolerance levels of aircraft to ash," the CAA said.
"Manufacturers have now agreed increased tolerance levels in low ash density areas."

Maybe I'm misreading this but to me it stinks of "fuck it this is getting out of hand, let's just chance it". The risk hasn't gone down, it's been "reassessed" - meaning they've decided it's now ok to fly the same planes through the same ash.

Been stuck in Spain with two flights cancelled since Monday. V weird, you go from anger to acceptance to enjoying more time in the sun (I'm in my parents place so can keep travelling back from airport) to worry about next flight. Work are being good tho and tomorrow is another day. Did get a lovely sunny eve today and a relaxing swim in the sea then pool then shower. Want to be back at work tho!

Thousands flee volcanos in Ecuador and Guatemala
Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes as two volcanos erupted in Guatemala and Ecuador.

In Guatemala, the Pacaya volcano began spewing lava, rocks and debris on Thursday, killing at least two people and injuring more than 50 others.

In Ecuador, the Tungurahua volcano forced the evacuation of seven villages and shut the airport and schools in Guayaquil, the country's largest city.

nine years pass...

the blog post this tweet links to is interesting!

I'll start: volcanic ash is not fluffy, or smoke. It is pulverized rock/glass/crystals with VERY different hazards. More: https://t.co/T2JCs99zDN pic.twitter.com/iG5EGztZI7
