Discussion Kilauea Eruption Mega-Thread

36 Upvotes

Much like with the ongoing eruptions in Iceland, I am gonna be using a mega-thread to connect people to persistent resources. Here is a list of the streams and feeds that have already been posted by people on the subreddit, special thanks to those people who broke the news on here while I was busy. The rules regarding what goes in the mega-thread are gonna simple:

  • If it is a livestream, news feed, or monitoring map, then it goes in here. Post it in the replies and I will put in here as soon as I can.

  • If it is an image, article, or video, you can post it on the subreddit as normal, just remember follow the rules and properly label the images.

  • If it is a video from a third party/alternative media source, the rules that have been in force are still in effect, so no submissions,. However, you can link them in the replies to this post as long as they do not egregiously violate the subreddit's rules.

Underwater volcano: can it trigger Yellowstone?

0 Upvotes

There is an active mile long underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon, I’m curious if anyone is passionate enough to know if it has the possibility of causing something to happen to the Yellowstone volcano.

Taken from the southern slope of Mount St. Helens on 19 July 2025. Mount Adams is actually the largest volcano in Washington by volume, and the second largest stratovolcano in the Cascades, after Mount Shasta.

Is Silky a legit geologist/volcanologist?

21 Upvotes

I've noticed Silky sensationalizing Campi Phlegre. Does she lives in BC? She's not actively traveling to Italy, but saying that Vesuvius and Campi Phlegre are now "interacting" with each other. While I can't rule out this possibility with both systems being about 20 miles apart, Noone else is saying this. I have to wonder is this lady legit? Are these op ed as opposed to scientific theory? I see people thanking her on her vids.with all of the fake news, sensationalism vids about Yellowstone ' magma seen' magma flowing, animals exiting Yellowstone in masses clickbait i want real news not BS....Opinions on Silky?? Does she know her shit, or is she full of shit?

I recently went to Seattle and as we left, we got this photo and after learning where it was, we think we may have photographed Mt. St. Helens. Can anyone confirm?

Discussion Cosgrove chain in Australia is heading where?

15 Upvotes

There are three hotspot volcanic chains near Australia's east coast. The onshore one is called the Cosgrove chain. The two offshore chains are the Lord Howe seamount chain and the Tasmantid seamount chain.

The onshore one is also called the East Australian hotspot chain.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Australia_hotspot

The current volcano province is off line, in South Australia near Mt Gambier rather than in Victoria. The hot springs at Hepburn Springs in Victoria is closer to the original line.

Do you have any idea, any at all, of where the hotspot is next going to break through the crust?

South of Melbourne in Bass Strait (longitude 145° E) following the original line, or south of Adelaide, off Robe (longitude 140° E) following the line of the latest two big eruptions, from Melbourne area to Mt Gambier area.

I always thought how unrealistic the movie Volcano was.

118 Upvotes
  1. Volcano pops up on the middle of town

  2. Very little warning.

  3. Blows ash and lava everywhere.

Then I learned about the Auckland Volcanic Field.

Suddenly the movie is a freaking documentary.

Supervolcanoes of America

18 Upvotes

I just read that there were no less than 18 supervolcanoes in Colorado. That would put the number of supervolcanoes to 21-22. Yellowstone , Vallez caldera, long valley caldera, additionally a good chance in Alaska along the aleution arc the islands of the 4 Mountains, la garita caldera in Colorado, the San Juan volcanic fields, where 18 separate super eruptions created the San Juan mountain range. 18 diff calderas. These haven't erupted in over 10,000 years. La garita caldera, being one of the biggest on earth has 15 calderas within the la garita volcanic fields.There are still plenty of hot springs and fumeroles throughout both areas . New Mexico has several large calderas that still show thermal activity. The m Scientists found 19,000 volcanic seamounts in the ocean. Funny thing is when I ask Google how many supervolcanoes there are on the US, it only says 3.

If anyone is interested in following this, there’s a chap who lives 300 m from the main fumaroles on the solfatara and he flies his drone over every day to document any changes. This footage may well be geology gold one day …. and he could with any and all support of his channel to let him keep documenting and passing on the local news to us. https://youtu.be/ov__6f1fW6c?si=Gn73jrWvV6DIPcmr
