LosMediasBlancas Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Take it from someone who has stood near the peak of a volcano, they're awesome and scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 It's hard for me to even comprehend an eruption shooting lava three miles into the air. Unbelievable power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Seismologist Tonatiuh Dominguez said the increasing frequency of the eruptions and their intensity signaled the volcano was returning to an explosive stage like one that started in 1903 and climaxed when a massive explosion in January 1913 left a 500-meter (1,650-feet) deep crater at the volcano's peak and scattered ash on cities 400 kilometers (240 miles) away. That is something. I have never seen an actual volcano in real life, but I imagine its very scary. You have to evacuate and leave mostly everything behind. Its kind of sad.

LosMediasBlancas Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I did too and when I got there I was actually kinda scared. The one we went to is in South America and it's pretty active and unpredictable. It had this faint, constant rumble coming for deep inside of it that made the ground tremble underneath us. Pretty awesome from afar, scary when you're standing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty awesome from afar, scary when you're standing on it. Sounds awe-inspiring. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii just to see the active volcano's. The closest I have come to mother nature was riding out a hurricane in Texas in 1983, and that is what got me on the whole natural disasters thing.

You can stay in the guest bedroom if you want to reason with hurricane season this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might sound strange, but I loved it. It was one of the coolest things I have ever been a part of. The power of mother nature is just incredible.

One of the nice things about being a Caltech Grad Student working on igneous (i.e. Volcano derived) rocks is that you occasionally get to play around with these sorts of things. Barring anything going terribly wrong, in a few years I should have a chance to get a nice trip through Hawaii to look at Kilauea and a few other things. Can hardly wait.
