Thank you so much for making all these amazing videos. I'm really learning a lot from them. I never knew Mount Saint Helens had two VEI5 eruptions just two years apart. Is this a rare occurence for volcanoes?
I'm only a recent fan, so I haven't yet delved deep into your work, but I'd love to see other top 5s for Canada, South &/or Central America, Europe, Oceania, & Africa. Thanks for asking, for the fascinating video, & for the many already available.
Thanks so much for addressing Salton Sea & Mono Lake volcanoes. The recent earthquake swarms in both places weren't really talked about by USGS/experts much as they relate to their volcanoes. Or I missed it. Congrats on the sponsor too 🙂👍
When I visit my sister’s home and step onto her deck, I get a line of sight view to Mount Saint Helens. When I ask for weather reports from her home, she gives me an answer that includes the mountain. As in, “The mountain is out today. Or the mountain is hiding.”
We lived briefly in Vancouver, WA. Before we moved there, in Sept., 2005, our California friends teased us about moving so close to Mt. St. Helens. Sure enough, literally the week we moved in, Mt. St. Helens started steaming and “grew” a new inner cone! Like your sister, we referred to Mt. Hood, which we actually lived closer to and drove within eye site of almost daily, as “The Incredible Hiding Mountain..” As dangerous as it may seem to live in the PNW, it is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful areas in our beautiful country…which, as a military brat many years ago, I crossed with my family 6 times in 3 years!

Finding reliable sources to finance this kind of project is not easy, and it's a clear sign of recognition for his work, and so is the rapidly growing audience. You're welcome to go get your geology news somewhere else and spend way more time on it (I guess your time must be free), while I'll keep watching these 5-minute videos and their author gets paid. I don't know if you've heard of this brand new feature on UA-cam where you can skip ahead, not many people have. It even works during sponsored segments. But the summary is simple. Money: up. Audience size: up. Negativity: down. Everyone wins.
@@facitenonvictimarum congrats this is absolute dumbest take possible on compliments for someone's work. Enjoy getting your geology news somewhere else, nothing of value will be lost.
Also, fun fact, I lived in New Jersey during the Mt. St. Helens eruption and I remember Ash lightly dusting our car a couple nights after it exploded, so ash fell much farther away than Oklahoma.
That is crazy! My goodness, if Mount St. Helens' ash made it to NJ, then I shudder thinking about how much ash a Yellowstone super-eruption would impart upon that area.
I realize this was a month ago, but I have to add that we lived in Houma Louisiana at the time and we also had dusting on all of our glass particularly the car.
I really enjoy your channel and this is really interesting. Aside from Mt St Helens, we’ve been pretty quiet. A while back sitting in the Command Post @ Clark AFB, PI was a skeleton crew staying as long as possible in hopes that Mt Pinatubo would settled down and the AFB could be reopened. A large swarm of quakes prompted the remaining geologist to not only chase everyone out but also advised we “put some jelly in your pockets, we are about to become toast”. Hell of a day.
I’ve heard about that I watched a documentary on nova that talked about that eruption and I remember that quote of the jam in the pockets because you’re all about to be toast
Both movies were fun popcorn flicks, and I actually own them on Blu-ray (love my big library), but Volcano in particular was way too over-the-top. I cackled at the scene where the lava consumed one of the city workers as if his body had no liquids in it. In reality, if you were to throw a live human body into lava, it would violently burst not unlike a popped water balloon.
Congrats on the sponsorship! Been watching your videos for the last few months and I love your style of content. Let's hope that this sponsorship will allow for more content in the future
Thanks for confirming my confirmation bias, that the Salton Lakes activity is slightly underestimated. The area has been doing a lot of small activity with frequency lately.
Congratulations for the sponsorship. I really enjoy your work and would love to see 30 minute vids from time to time. Keep it up man. Everyone talks bout the big one at Yellowstone, but what's the likelihood of an La Palma style eruption there?
At Yellowstone? Almost zero. It’s eruptions always produce dacite or rhyolite. However, weak lava fountaining could occur after a phreatic eruption, of which 4 have occurred in the last 10,000 years
As a child, our family visited three of five sites mentioned. Who knew we were exploring possible future eruption sites? Just great places to get out, explore and stretch your legs!
I was thinking the same thing about Rainer. Was in Oregon and Washington in May, and Rainer has the conical shape and activity that could lead to an eruption, but like he said, it was his opinion.
You watch any TV programme in US and they always say Rainier, it's interesting to hear about other less known volcanoes, but that is where is channel excels from any other form of volcano media. I ❤ this channel thank you 😊
Went to subscribe to skillshare through your link just so I could support, but it lead me to a regular sign up rather than a free trial. Kinda bummed but congrats on the sponsorship anyway! I love the longer content!
Congrats on the Sponsorship! As always another great video :) Baker is Visible from where i live just north of the border. neat for it to be on your list
Well whether it's Mt Hood or MSH, I've got a good view from where I live. First time i ever saw mt Hood it made my stomach drop. After finding out its last eruption date was on the 1800s it made me just a tiny bit concerned. Will keep my eyes peeled for strange events.
Pretty good content. Big guys covered in snow like Adams, Hood, Baker, Rainier, Glacier peak etc etc are a legit threat for people living around. A vei 3 eruption with a dome extrusion could create massive lahars and some powerful phreatomagmatic vulcanian events. It will eventually happen.
Thank you for all great videos. Could be please tell more about volcanoes in the Azores, especially Sete Cidades and Fogo as you have already covered Furnas?
I'm happy for your sponsor! You deserve it! I really thought Mt. Rainier would be on this list. But this was the first I've heard that Mt. Hood has been slowly stirring.
I'm a little surprised Newberry Volcano didn't make the list. It would have to be in the top 10. It's such a cool volcano too. I'd love to see one of Oregon's "second class" volcanoes erupt like Mt Bailey or Belknap Crater.
Living within sight of Mt. Baker, it is an absolutely magnificent and very underrated mountain, and certainly not to be underestimated. If that thing ever went off I would certainly be keeping my distance. There are some places in the San Juan islands where you could probably get some National Geographic worthy footage if it blows, wonderful views of the islands with the mountain in the background.
Volcanology is a fascinating subject and I enjoy watching your short informative videos. It is amazing how volcanoes are perhaps the biggest contributor to climate change with the cycles of the suns energy output coming in a close second. Thanks for sharing.
Mt. Rainier's fumaroles and the acids rotting the rock and ash are huge threats. Although an eruption not on the list the Lahars are well-know and a good second video. The town of Orting, WA lives in a constant state of readiness.
So glad my favorite volcano, Mt Shasta didn't make this list. I pass by this beautiful lady 3-4 times a week and always get a thrill out of seeing her. Dread the day she blows and changes her whole beauty.
Not much going on the town of Shasta. My friend and I went up once to visit a friend. We spent most of the time at Mt. Shasta since almost nothing happens downtown.
Mount Shasta is still quite interesting. It’s usual due to the fact it’s produced several satellite cones unusually far from its main edifice. Given its low level of activity (and it lasted erupted in 1250) it shouldn’t erupt for several hundred years.
My sister and I were always science geeks, so when we first moved to Seattle in 1978 our first visit was to the Pacific Science Center. At the time, it was believed Mt Baker would be the next volcano to blow in the Cascades. We hadn't even heard of Mt St Helens till March 1980!
So what did I do on my summer vacation ? Well, I did not know it at the time but: road trip to visit 3 volcanoes on this list! Including an overnight on Mt. Hood at the Timberline Lodge (Highly Highly Recommend!!!)
I really like your channel, I think I’ve seen all the videos. Congratulations on a sponsor, and a delivery I learned from! I find your videos very informative.
Congrats on the sponsorship! You're one of my go to sources for my students. It's been fun to watch your channel grow and see you cover current volcanoes so well. 💚🌎🌋✌️😎
Don’t rule out Glacier Peak in north central Washington, or South Sister Peak in central Oregon, just west of the city of Bend, near the Newberry Crater. South Sister has been growing a bulge on it’s south side since 1998,and is officially “overdue” for an eruption.
Way to go on the sponsorship! I have been to all of the locations except for Salton volcanic area but I have only seen a small fraction of the volcanic features, there is always more to see. It takes a bit of off road to really start to explore the Mammoth/Inyo area but the craters can be seen though a hiking trail although it is around 3-4 hours.
My father picked a farm 7 miles north of Battle Ground, WA and I went to school in Amboy. He picked it because it had a perfect view of the mountain (Mt. St. Helens) and he thought it might erupt in his lifetime. I got to experience everything from getting sent home from school whenever ash fell to the big eruption. Since my dad predicted Mt. St. Helens erupting and I now live with a view of Baker, Mt.Rainer and Glacier peak within a few minutes, I’m making my prediction for fun. I think it could be Glacier Peak that erupts.
What scares me is that because glacier peak is so tucked away in the cascades that i think it gets far less attention than the other volcanoes. I remember reading somewhere that it only has one earthquake detection device on its slopes, but that could be outdated.
I live just outside of Chicago & recall ash falling in Illinois. It covered all of the cars, sidewalks, etc. It made a larger mess than the map indicated.
We were in Alaska when Redoubt erupted in '08 and it was eerie to witness. Mostly gray plumes of smoke and ash. We were far enough away to watch safely, but close enough that we had to protect the air filters and vents of our car.
I was in 3rd grade when Saint Helens erupted. It was clearly dangerous to even a child. We had mountains nearby, but they are not active; but perhaps had been in the past.
I wonder if there is enough research done on the Capulin Volcano field in North Eastern New Mexico? I would love to see a video done on the geologic features present in that region.
Mount Rainier has had a 1200 year cold 750 year hot cycle, and its been 1500 year since last major pyroclastic event. Mount Lassen erupted a few times in 1900s and still showing activity. Yellowstone Caldera currently showing uplift and increased activity. It's over a mantle hot spot traceable back 25 million years (NA moving West, so hot spot seemsvto be moving East.) Showing previous eruptions back to source of Columbia River Basalt floods.
In the past 10000 years here in AZ we’ve had a few go, sunset crater, and a few in the Gila Bend area. The San Francisco field is active as is the Gila Bend ones and some along the US/Mexico border . There are two volcanoes just north of where I live a cinder cone ( called “the teat” by locals) and Joe’s Hill volcano which is a shield volcano that produced lava flows millions of years ago
There's a fumerole on Mt. Hood's south side you can see from Hwy 26. It had ash on the snow surrounding it when I was there last summer. I took photos of it because I'd never seen that on the mountain before. It felt spooky because I was directly effected by Mt. St. Helens. It made all kinds of memories and emotions rush in. I hope it doesn't erupt. It will destroy the water supply for over 2 million people.
People are missing an important point here! He's not discounting that other volcanoes in the continental US are active and may erupt! He's listing the top 5 IN HIS OPINION! His and yours may disagree but I value and trust his opinion.
I'm surprised Lassen Peak didnt get a mention. It is the only other volcano eligible for this list, other than mt st Helens, to have extensive photographs and video of an eruption.
I went to USAF Survival school at Fairchild AFB, WA in August 1980. It was hot and humid but we were issued snow camouflage so we could escape and evade in the white ash covered landscape.
There was a time when June lake was the most feared volcanic region after the tree and fish die off as I recall that would be really early 80's which coincides with when I started snow skiing and lived in San Diego so it was the closest volcanic region that I knew of . Did not know about the Salton Sea area being active although I did know about some extinct volcanoes not far from there , in Yucca Valley a small volcano called Goat Mountain is one of them . I actually climbed Goat Mountain once and there is an old gold mine going right down the middle of the caldera , not sure how deep they went as I had no climbing equipment for dropping down a near vertical hole . Now I live near Mt. Rainier , everywhere you go there are signs telling you how to evacuate in case of eruption .
Great video! I have actually read someone's comment(s) that they lived in the state of Maine when Mt. St. Helens erupted, and they said that there was ash in the rainfall, so it fell further than Oklahoma. The USGS websites even says that ash fell as far away as the Northeastern United States, then traveled around the globe within about two weeks. You can include volcanoes from Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, and Mexico in another video of the same topic(Top 5 or top 10) in the future. Lots of volcanoes could surprise us at anytime, day or night. I was surprised when the Aso volcano in Japan erupted unexpectedly creating a short-lived pyroclastic flow. Luckily, there were no injuries, deaths, or damage reported because a lot of people left the area in a short amount of time. I have a feeling that there are more volcanoes in the Continental United States that will erupt in the future, like Mt. Lassen, Mt. Shasta, and many others in the country and around the world. What volcano erupts next, is anyone's guess. Thank you for the eruption updates on the Cumbre Viaeja volcano on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands. I would love to go there someday, but the pandemic has kept me home.
Left off the video, but should be considered-several locations in New Mexico. 1) On the west side of Albuquerque is a string of nine volcanoes, in a north-south line, that have erupted in the past 10,000 years. 2) Jemez caldera is just as dangerous as Yellowstone but doesn't get 1/100th of the attention. 3) Prior to the 1950's, Truth or Consequences was known as Hot Springs for a reason. 4) Carrizozo lava field (the Malpais) is a very recent flow. 5) It's just my intuition (FWIW) but I strongly feel that a location SSW of Belen/NNW of Socorro is a likely location. Madrone mountain, SSW of Belen/NNW of Socorro is largely pumice.
Was kind of llike playing bingo, guessing the ones that came up on the list. Think that was all the ones I assumed too. Would be cool to hear abut some volcanoes in Turkey, there's a mixture of calderas, stratovolcanoes etc, but they never seem to get much attention.
I guess I’m an old guy. Skied Mt Baker in the 70’s, could see Mt St Helens from Baker. But I was 1,000 miles East NE of St Helens about a week after the eruption, where my brother had been harrowing a summer-fallow field and when he came in that night his contact lenses had been dissolved from the ash in the air. Lots of farmers engine’s started to use oil after that event. Very fine grit was able to get past those 70’s and 80’s era air filters.
I was volunteering at a building that has marble that was mined from the Mammoth Lake area...it turned into a research topic after the Ridgecrest Earthquake.
My brother and his wife were honeymooning in Montana when Mt. Saint Helens erupted last. They woke up to several inches of ash everywhere. We live in Calgary, Alberta and we got no ash here from that, even though we are not that far from Washington.
interesting you should mention the mammoth supervolcano. in 1980 the government built 'the mammoth escape route' as they fear an eruption however local businesses complained it would hurt their business and communities were afraid folks might not move there or relocate so it was renamed 'the mammoth scenic route'. shows our priorities
I honestly don’t blame you. The high amount of action/disaster movies coming from Hollywood in the last 50 years makes us want to be a witness to such great catastrophes like this. We’ve definitely had much more action weather wise with category 4 hurricane landfalls almost every year now as well as massive tornado outbreaks like in 2011.
Was on the south side of St. Helens when it blew. Ski on Hood since mid 70's. Had a house in the Skagit valley right across from the Baker lake Dam. Shure glad you didn't mention Mount Rainier cause I'm setting in the middle of the floodplain looking right at it 🙄😜. Seems to be a Thing 😂😎

i am so happy the AlGoreRythm has rewarded your excellence! Kudos Maxima Mr. Hub!!!:-) 🖖
Your videos are very very good, interesting and well presented without all the fluff.
I live just outside of Chicago & recall ash falling in Illinois. It covered all of the cars, sidewalks, etc. It made a larger mess than the map indicated.
Now I want a list of Alaskan volcanoes that will erupt.
We were in Alaska when Redoubt erupted in '08 and it was eerie to witness. Mostly gray plumes of smoke and ash. We were far enough away to watch safely, but close enough that we had to protect the air filters and vents of our car.
I was in 3rd grade when Saint Helens erupted. It was clearly dangerous to even a child. We had mountains nearby, but they are not active; but perhaps had been in the past.
I wonder if there is enough research done on the Capulin Volcano field in North Eastern New Mexico? I would love to see a video done on the geologic features present in that region.
Already covered it! Here you go: m.ua-cam.com/video/HsLHyrMQcMw/v-deo.html
@@GeologyHub Thank you! I will give it a watch. I love your content.
Man i really enjoy all your videos plus your voice sounds special to my ears
Mount Rainier has had a 1200 year cold 750 year hot cycle, and its been 1500 year since last major pyroclastic event.
Mount Lassen erupted a few times in 1900s and still showing activity.
Yellowstone Caldera currently showing uplift and increased activity. It's over a mantle hot spot traceable back 25 million years (NA moving West, so hot spot seemsvto be moving East.) Showing previous eruptions back to source of Columbia River Basalt floods.
In the past 10000 years here in AZ we’ve had a few go, sunset crater, and a few in the Gila Bend area. The San Francisco field is active as is the Gila Bend ones and some along the US/Mexico border . There are two volcanoes just north of where I live a cinder cone ( called “the teat” by locals) and Joe’s Hill volcano which is a shield volcano that produced lava flows millions of years ago
There's a fumerole on Mt. Hood's south side you can see from Hwy 26. It had ash on the snow surrounding it when I was there last summer. I took photos of it because I'd never seen that on the mountain before. It felt spooky because I was directly effected by Mt. St. Helens. It made all kinds of memories and emotions rush in. I hope it doesn't erupt. It will destroy the water supply for over 2 million people.
Excellent as always
Very nice that you got a sponsor! Congratulations
Congratulations on the sponsor dude!
Well done on the skillshare sponsorship
I’ve been waiting for this video for a while
Good job on getting sponsored!
Yes!!!! Sponsor ❤️❤️❤️ your videos are SPECTACULAR
Congrats on the sponsor!! About time!
People are missing an important point here! He's not discounting that other volcanoes in the continental US are active and may erupt! He's listing the top 5 IN HIS OPINION! His and yours may disagree but I value and trust his opinion.
I'm surprised Lassen Peak didnt get a mention. It is the only other volcano eligible for this list, other than mt st Helens, to have extensive photographs and video of an eruption.
I went to USAF Survival school at Fairchild AFB, WA in August 1980. It was hot and humid but we were issued snow camouflage so we could escape and evade in the white ash covered landscape.
There was a time when June lake was the most feared volcanic region after the tree and fish die off as I recall that would be really early 80's which coincides with when I started snow skiing and lived in San Diego so it was the closest volcanic region that I knew of . Did not know about the Salton Sea area being active although I did know about some extinct volcanoes not far from there , in Yucca Valley a small volcano called Goat Mountain is one of them . I actually climbed Goat Mountain once and there is an old gold mine going right down the middle of the caldera , not sure how deep they went as I had no climbing equipment for dropping down a near vertical hole . Now I live near Mt. Rainier , everywhere you go there are signs telling you how to evacuate in case of eruption .
Congrats on the sponsor you deserve it🤜
great video !!
Wow, congratulations for having a sponsor brah.
Amazing seeing my hometown be featured in this video!
I am familiar with all of these having traveled the western USA extensively. Watching from the Philippines where we have a few active volcanoes.
Great video! I have actually read someone's comment(s) that they lived in the state of Maine when Mt. St. Helens erupted, and they said that there was ash in the rainfall, so it fell further than Oklahoma. The USGS websites even says that ash fell as far away as the Northeastern United States, then traveled around the globe within about two weeks.
You can include volcanoes from Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, and Mexico in another video of the same topic(Top 5 or top 10) in the future. Lots of volcanoes could surprise us at anytime, day or night. I was surprised when the Aso volcano in Japan erupted unexpectedly creating a short-lived pyroclastic flow. Luckily, there were no injuries, deaths, or damage reported because a lot of people left the area in a short amount of time.
I have a feeling that there are more volcanoes in the Continental United States that will erupt in the future, like Mt. Lassen, Mt. Shasta, and many others in the country and around the world. What volcano erupts next, is anyone's guess. Thank you for the eruption updates on the Cumbre Viaeja volcano on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands. I would love to go there someday, but the pandemic has kept me home.
I’m surprised Mt. Lassen in No. CA wasn’t mentioned, as it erupted in 1917. It still has large areas of active bubbling mud pots and fumaroles.
That's a really interesting angle on Mt. Baker. I grew up in Bellingham and never experienced its pointy top perspective.
congrats on snagging that sponsor my man!
great video as always 👍
I’ve tried telling people the 1800’s was very volcanic active and very very explosive.
Hell yeah dude you got sponsored :)
👍 congrats
Damn, getting sponsored now. You've grown up in the world of UA-cam. 😀
Congrats on the new sponsor! 🎉
My fav is the San Francisco Volcanic Field.
Left off the video, but should be considered-several locations in New Mexico.
1) On the west side of Albuquerque is a string of nine volcanoes, in a north-south line, that have erupted in the past 10,000 years.
2) Jemez caldera is just as dangerous as Yellowstone but doesn't get 1/100th of the attention.
3) Prior to the 1950's, Truth or Consequences was known as Hot Springs for a reason.
4) Carrizozo lava field (the Malpais) is a very recent flow.
5) It's just my intuition (FWIW) but I strongly feel that a location SSW of Belen/NNW of Socorro is a likely location. Madrone mountain, SSW of Belen/NNW of Socorro is largely pumice.
Was kind of llike playing bingo, guessing the ones that came up on the list. Think that was all the ones I assumed too.
Would be cool to hear abut some volcanoes in Turkey, there's a mixture of calderas, stratovolcanoes etc, but they never seem to get much attention.
I love your videos, thank you
Oh my. I think a yearly update on this subject would be helpful.👍
Surprised Mount Rainier isn't on the list. We recently visited Mount Saint Helens. It's always spectacular to see.
Congrats on the sponsor :)
I guess I’m an old guy. Skied Mt Baker in the 70’s, could see Mt St Helens from Baker. But I was 1,000 miles East NE of St Helens about a week after the eruption, where my brother had been harrowing a summer-fallow field and when he came in that night his contact lenses had been dissolved from the ash in the air. Lots of farmers engine’s started to use oil after that event. Very fine grit was able to get past those 70’s and 80’s era air filters.
To find if your guess is correct, see human lifespan information and cross-check with birth certificate.
I was volunteering at a building that has marble that was mined from the Mammoth Lake area...it turned into a research topic after the Ridgecrest Earthquake.
My brother and his wife were honeymooning in Montana when Mt. Saint Helens erupted last. They woke up to several inches of ash everywhere. We live in Calgary, Alberta and we got no ash here from that, even though we are not that far from Washington.
your first sponsor sweet!
I'd like to see you make a video about the Niland Geyser in California.
interesting you should mention the mammoth supervolcano. in 1980 the government built 'the mammoth escape route' as they fear an eruption however local businesses complained it would hurt their business and communities were afraid folks might not move there or relocate so it was renamed 'the mammoth scenic route'.
shows our priorities
Congratulations on picking up a sponsor!
love the longer vids
My boi got an sponsor, neat, good job mate, your great work has been rewarded.
Is it weird that I want to see the day one of these (or another one nearby) erupts? It would be terrifying, but morbidly awesome.
I honestly don’t blame you. The high amount of action/disaster movies coming from Hollywood in the last 50 years makes us want to be a witness to such great catastrophes like this. We’ve definitely had much more action weather wise with category 4 hurricane landfalls almost every year now as well as massive tornado outbreaks like in 2011.
Great job Tim, very informative
Another great video by the dude with the strangely soothing voice
Strangely boring voice.
Was on the south side of St. Helens when it blew.
Ski on Hood since mid 70's.
Had a house in the Skagit valley right across from the Baker lake Dam.
Shure glad you didn't mention Mount Rainier cause I'm setting in the middle of the floodplain looking right at it 🙄😜.
Seems to be a Thing 😂😎
Lassen Peak is one of my top guesses. After that, one of the central Oregon volcanoes like Sisters or Newberry.
Id say mt shasta also eventually
