Start it off with videos from the current Hawaiian volcano. Kilauea is always active but spouted new fissures in a residential neighborhood

That land should have never been private.

That land should have never been private. There area looks far from the main caldera (almost 20 miles); was it well known that fissures spewing lava could form on the mountain side that far away? Oh, USGS map shows the fissures along a line in a labeled "rift zone". Hadn't heard of fissures before, but it sounds like a predictable risk?  |

Everyone who lives there understands that there is a high risk of these events but they choose to live there anyway, for various reasons, but the biggest is that that is the cheapest land on the Big Island, and by quite a lot too...for obvious reasons.  I'm not sure what they plan to do with their land once the activity dies down. Build again? Seems like a bad idea and waste of money to me. |

so rift zone = high risk of fissures?

Found the dumbest volcano post. “Because the experts were wrong about the election; they were wrong about volcanoes”

For dumbest volcano post. “Because the experts were wrong about the election; they wrong about volcanoes” First, Twitter is cancerous. Second, "geothermal flows" ?? There is so much wrong with that statement that guy should be a Yahoo! journalist. |

Going to visit a City that was well and truly wrecked by Mt Vesuvius tomorrow, should be very interesting.

Anybody else on here ever been to a live volcano? I took this picture on Volcan de Pacaya in Guatemala, I don't remember if I could feel the heat through my shoes but the ground was certainly very warm to touch.  Somebody who I went up there with said he was in Denver the day Mount St Helens blew up in 1980, and even that far away he still ended up with volcanic dust on his car. I just looked this up and it looks like he wasn't even bullshitting as well!  |

Interestingly enough, Friday was the 38th anniversary of the Mount St. Helens eruption. |

Very close to Mammoth Lakes which is a really cool area. The western US is a caldera paradise.  |
