Thanks for sharing this footage GutnTog! Although the last eruption in Tenerife was indeed in 1909, it was not part of Mount Teide magmatic system but an intrusion of fresh magma from the mantle that took advantage of one of the rifts of the island (the North-western one to be exact) to find the weakest path of resistance to the surface, not unlike the current eruption in La Palma. These eruptions, linked to the Canary Hotspot, tend to be predominantly basaltic, while the eruptions of Mount Teide (the last one was about 1500 years ago) are very rich in Silica, the magma, therefore, is much more viscous and the eruptions more violent. That's one of the reasons, together with the fact that Tenerife is densely populated and that Mount Teide has an average return period (time between eruptions) of 500 years and is, therefore, "overdue", that granted its inclusion in the Decade Volcano watchlist, a list prepared by an international organism that gathers the 16 most dangerous volcanoes in the world. I was born in Tenerife and lived pretty much all my life there, I'm fascinated by volcanoes, to the point where I was one of the founding members of the Canary Islands Volcanic Association, an institution that tried to bring the volcanic reality of the islands closer to its inhabitants, educate and prepare. Anyways, keep up the good work, and if you have any questions, please let me know, I'll be more than happy to help :)
Yes definitely we have plenty of time to sleep when we die! I love your sense of humor 🤣🤣 and I love watching your videos post . What an awesome pictures of the island and the volcano 🌋
What a great fairy ride it looks comfortable and very accommodating. And seeing the beautiful ocean while taking in The Oceanaire is very stimulating I'm sure. I chuckled when you said we will get enough sleep when we die LOL. I hope you will get some rest though it is good for your health! And thank you for taking us along the journey it is greatly appreciated!
Loving your videos, I've been to tenerife many times, been on the top of tiede 3 times, the stars were something else. I went to la Gomera on the same ferry you got but never got to go to la palma, hope I get the chance to
The food is probably better there because of less pollution and processing and from local farmers I would think sounds nice. Glad you enjoyed that just be careful safe travels many prayers for you and yours. Also for the people on the island as always and your vids are just as good as his I just think that people really care about bushcraft bear because he does seem like a genuinely good person and he is bringing people updated info which is really appreciated. Ty & God bless
I've been to the top of Mt Teide so hot at the base freezing when you get to the top, we were unprepared for the cold and the snow at the top so spent our time in the little bar that was at the top at that time drinking Brandy to keep warm, the view from the top is incredible though and we could smell sulphur ,the cable car ride down was very interesting ☺ Does anyone know if the bar at the top is still there ? . Happy days x
I understand that La Palma volcano erupted 50 years ago, and there are still witnesses alive. Which makes me think- how come they build so many dwellings in the dangerous area?
Volcanoes can be mighty forces of destruction but they're also sources of life and richness. Volcanic activity buildt Canary Islands and gave it its fertile grounds and stunning landscapes. Most people that live today in the islands didn't have a choice, they were born there, and most of them, until recent years have not had access to superior education nor did the government tried to educate and prepare and bring this reality closer to its inhabitants. Should all the people in the Caribean move away because there's earthquakes and Hurricanes and volcanoes around there too? Should all the people in the Pacific Coast of the United States move away because there are active faults overthere and huge earthquakes are possible? It's never as easy as to say "how come they live in such a dangerous area?".
I saw in a tv report a witness of the last two eruptions before this one, that of 1949 (San Juan, just next to the current one) and therefore 1971. He always lived in La Palma and was very fatalistic but not worried .
Kevin C. González - generally speaking - yes, you are correct, but in specific case of this precise location (Tazacorte )- is build over last lava flow . You can see how new “ colada” is building new extension of the island next to previous “ colada” . That is what I am talking about. They do have enough space and options right on the very same island. And by the way, common sense is not about education or government, it is about respect to nature and .
Strange, how a Ferry looks like a Ferry - any place in the world. You could swap it out for a ferry in British Columbia, Canada, and no one would bat an eye. (At 4:44 SOMEONE is catching up on their sleep. Ditto for 4:52 - and THEY brought a nice blanket!) "Clay lies still, but blood's a rover, Breathe's a ware that will not keep, Up lad, when the journey's over, There'll be time enough to sleep."
I had my doubts after bushgraft singing songs on the clean air island for weeks..But little did I know an honest man was coming...I am sorry...I was wrong...Thank God you got to this island to show us what is..Vs. Tourist protection prapaganda!..Thank you!😊
Are you going to meet up with Bushcraft bear you should get in contact and he will take you to the mountain he always sits on he would probably love to hang out with you because he likes to get out and hike to I think you guys would get along great
Is it even bigger than the Yellowstone caldera? I had always heard that the Yellowstone caldara was the largest volcanic structure in the world. I very well could be wrong though.
@@magsb3 That's true. I got on Google Earth and measured the Yellowstone caldera. I realize it's not the most accurate method of measure, but even so, the size of that monster dwarfs the size of that entire mountain, and leaves no doubt regarding who is bigger. I wonder if perhaps what is meant is that Teidre is the largest volcano of its type. It is huge for a strombolian volcano, but there are both shield and super volcanoes which are larger. Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the tallest volcano, biggest shield volcano in terms of both mass and height, and in fact the tallest mountain in the world when measured from it's base on the ocean floor to it's peak. Depending on the year, either Mount Everest or K-2 is the highest mountain (they are usually within two inches of each other, and since the Himalayan plateau is still rising, and not evenly so, it changes over time), but both are surprisingly short when measured from base to peak. When measured from base to peak they don't even break the top 20. Those are mountains though, not volcanos. If we are talking about strombolian volcanoes (cone shaped volcanoes which tend to be explosive in nature, and pump out lots of ash and thick ah-ah type lava, along with constant fountaining during eruptive phases) it very well could be the biggest in that regard. We can only see the top of it above water, but the top of it alone is bigger than either Etna or Vesuvius. It's also quite a bit larger than Fuji in Japan. I don't doubt for a moment that it's the biggest volcano of it's type. It really is a big boy. We should all be glad that it's not active. (the main part that is). If that thing blew it's top it would be a would-wide catastrophe. The most massive volcano on the planet is the Tamu Massif which is entirely below sea level in the Pacific ocean. Since it is underwater it's a bit difficult to determine it's type, though bore samples suggest that when it was active it had a high silica content, making it more closely related to stormbolian cone volcanoes. Tamu Massif is extinct, so it has no chance of becoming bigger.
Learning and seeing so much cool stuff on this adventure of yours!
You did an Atlantic island hopping. From Iceland to Great Britain to Tenerife to La Palma.

The oxygen is so low at the top of Teide I passed out and yes it is very cold. It's also cold if you visit the observatory. Be prepared with jumpers.
I've walked around the top with my 5 year old grandson, it's not that bad

The most active part of La Palma is where the last eruption happened and is on the top south of la palma which is mostly unhabited for that reason.
That’s a ship! Big enough to take a chunk of passengers in case of evacuation

Thank you Jason….Thanks to you and Google I just discovered Houseman….what a great poem! I’ll send for his books.
I had my doubts after bushgraft singing songs on the clean air island for weeks..But little did I know an honest man was coming...I am sorry...I was wrong...Thank God you got to this island to show us what is..Vs. Tourist protection prapaganda!..Thank you!😊
Crap
Are you going to meet up with Bushcraft bear you should get in contact and he will take you to the mountain he always sits on he would probably love to hang out with you because he likes to get out and hike to I think you guys would get along great
Let him contact me
Hey where’s Nina? Didn’t she go with you?
She stayed in Iceland.
Is it even bigger than the Yellowstone caldera? I had always heard that the Yellowstone caldara was the largest volcanic structure in the world. I very well could be wrong though.
Yellowstone is supported to have a magma chamber equal to 11 Grand Canyons!
