Although I love volcanoes, this is of course a disaster and a drama for many! I'm going to share your blog! A lot of strength for the people you know who are in this condition!
Disastrous states from now on watching the many videos on YouTube, it is no fun for the residents, but nature has its own laws. On the other hand, there are photographers who benefit from making beautiful videos. https://youtu.be/BYczhgdSdUk
@Marc De Bisschop Of course, it's a whole spectacle. People are not even allowed to look at a distance there, but tourists or press, with boats, all of them will get to their boot.
@enigma the distance between the sea or the distance on land and the swirling lava with squirting and falling chunks of glowing stone will be the big difference. And if the press is not present, who spreads the drama?
The volcano that is now erupted is a so-called shield volcano. These types of volcanoes have no volcanic cone and are typically connected to a deep - on the earth's mantle - hotspot. (so-called HP volcanism) Hotspots just form somewhere on the earth's mantle... Show moreThe volcano that is now erupted is a so-called shield volcano. These types of volcanoes have no volcanic cone and are typically connected to a deep - on the earth's mantle - hotspot. (so-called HP volcanism) Hotspots just form somewhere on the earth's mantle and have no relation to subducing plates. Shell volcanoes are known to produce large amounts of lava and can sometimes persist regurgitation for weeks.
