Agreed. Maybe not high on the list of global catastrophes, but you wouldn't want to be living next to it

Had you noticed that an Alert level 3 is currently in place for Ambae in Vanuatu, aka Aoba, with the evacuation of possibly 11,000 people. Much trouble with dust. It is an interesting volcano with 2 crater lakes side by side, Voui and Manaro.
This BTW was James Michiner's Bali Ha'i in South Pacific - only wrongly depicted in almost every way - he never went there.

Sir Joseph Banks played an important role in organising support for the Icelanders then and they still honour that help.

Bert - there is a reference here to Gilbert White.

I take it Hawaii has reminded folk that we were warned about an 'active year' for eruptions/earthquakes due to tidal forces in our solar system putting a strain on the crust of our little speck of dust?


Could it be a Deniers dream and we see a number of impacting eruptions and a global pall of ash/dust to send temps spiralling downward?


If so 3 years hence will be an interesting time!!!

Some interesting pictures etc. from a Washington Post article re Kilauea:

All the ads are a bit irritating though


Favourite is probably the cracked road with fumes rising all around - would make a person a bit nervous of driving/getting around

The tidal theory all depends on how active our nearest neighbour is, which is similar in size and composition - Venus.

The solar system and nearby stars to scale. Colour me unconvinced that the tidal forces of the planets have other than a tiny effect on this planet.


What's also mind boggling is the immense distance between our nearby stars and the Sun.

Thinking of boggling and "Scale"- my mind boggled when a geological microbiologist told me that the estimated biomass of bacteria within the Earth's rocks exceeds the biomass of biological material on the surface itself. 


No wonder we are so keen to sample the Martian rocks

Eruptions continues at Kilauea's East Rift Zone, Hawaii, with Fissure 18 now active;

I see that there has now been an explosive eruption at the crater of Kilauea. Presumably after the lava lake lowered enough for water to enter the system and interact with the lava/magma.

According the MSNBC at least, there is unconfirmed reports that the ash plume reached 25,000 ft in height:

Bad weather in the area at the moment hard to know if there is any truth in this.

“At about 0415 this morning, an explosion from the Overlook vent within Halemaumau crater at Kilauea Volcano's summit produced a volcanic cloud that reaches as high as 30,000 ft asl and drifted northeast. Continued emissions from the crater are reaching as high as 12,000 ft asl.

At any time, activity may again become more explosive, increasing the intensity of ash production and producing ballistic projectiles near the vent”

The BBC says there was a 30,000 ft plum. That's a large piece of fruit!

Eruptions continuing on Kilauea's ERZ, Hawaii - now producing fresh/new, much more fluid lava. Major lava flows occurring on fissure 20.
