Is my understanding of volcanic eruptions fundamentally lacking, or are all these people basically flirting with death by standing this close to the caldera?


Probably lacking, volcanoes in Hawaii don’t typically erupt very violently, instead they flow steadily for a while and then quite down before going dormant again.


Wow the live feed is fun.


Yeah! What’s that weird filter they have on the camera? I love the fluoro lightsaber magenta color of it, and the topological patterning of the ripples. Kind of reminds me of something from my childhood. I can’t put my finger on where I’ve seen this type of thing before.
