Near Tower Hill is another really cool volcano called Budj Bim. It's last eruption was around 35,000 years ago and what really cool is that the Gunditjmarra, the local Aboriginal people, have oral histories of it's last eruption, making it one of the oldest oral histories in the world! The Tyrendarra lava flow is also home to a wetlands that at least 6,000 years ago, was turned into an aquaculture system for eel farming and trapping by the Gunditjmarra. The whole Budj Bim area is now a World Heritage Site for it's cultural significance!
Many miles east from this location is area are The Stoney Rises . The region is littered with ejected material from the many extinct volcanoes. As you drive around miles of stone walls can be seen made from the rocks built by convicts. Thanks for your interes
@@NeuroKytshno mate. It's thee bakeries two book shops two supermarkets a butchers a cheese factory about 33,000 people and a whole bunch of new builds. It's a small town but it's literally the closest thing. You get emus from there wandering into town pretty regularly
Great video. I live in Mt Gambier (South East South Australia) where the town is built on the slopes of the Lakes Precinct (Blue, Valley, and Leg of Mutton Lakes), which mark the Western extent of the Newer Volcanics Province. Nearby Mt Shank, as shown briefly in your video, is the Western most NVP eruption site. The Precinct is actually a series of eruptions/explosions immediately adjacent one another, eg, the eruption that created the internationally renowned 70m deep Blue Lake blasted tons of debris back into the existing Valley Lake crater. The Blue Lake eruption occurred as little as 5,000years ago and is noted in local Aboriginal law/legend as the story of the giant Craitbul who accidentally(?) tipped his cooking pot into the fire and created a huge explosion. This story may actually relate to the earlier and much bigger Valley Lake eruption. I'm surprised how little study has been done on this unique multiple-eruption site, perhaps maybe please could you do a video specifically about the Mt Gambier Lakes Precinct. Cheers.
Thanks Mr. GH, great video as usual. Tower Hill is a beautiful place to visit and it has an amazing indigenous history and lots of wildlife. I remember as a primary (elementary) school student being taken to Mt. Eccles (now Budj Bim National Park) and walking into a lava tube and also seeing tons and tons of scoria being quarried which has stayed with me. A quick question, do mars explode without warning or is there ample evidence of what will happen beforehand? Love your work and thanks again. 🙏
So cool to see a video on what is (to me) a relatively local bit of geological history. if you're ever in a position where you can visit tower hill, I absolutely recommend it. I might go on a lil road trip there later this year, it's been a while
I've never been to Australia & never will be (😢). But from everything I've learned, it's an incredible continent (?). Again, with no experience with the Aussies, the people seem pretty awesome too ! 🇦🇺 🫡 ❤️
Don’t worry, maybe you’ll win the lottery,and then you can come, you’ll love it - the worlds climate is all in Australia, snow at one end, boiling hat at the other cheers
Nice video as always! Could you please review what's going on with Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia that has exacerbated it's activity and had 11000 earthquakes in 24 hs, raising it's level to orange? We would greatly appreciate your expert opinion, thanks!
I’m writing a video on Nevado del Ruiz right now. However, I am seeking clarification on the current situation from proper authorities. The current situation in my opinion could be either very severe requiring 60,000 to be evacuated or might be negligible where ashfall only is the main hazard with no evacuations needed. Since I do not know and do not want to be wrong, I have contacted the Colombian Geological Service to seek clarification.
I love how they shape farm the fields around the maars and cinder cones! One has a hexagon of farm fields around it and another appears to have a perfect circle of farm fields going kind of into a crater. Probably pretty fertile soil but could any area just suddenly blow out creating a maar? I also saw a city next to one that was smaller than the maar next to it. Sometime this summer I'll go visit the one in California I couldn't get to in the winter, and also upload my video of my first attempt.
What causes the newer volcanic province to have that small circular exclave? Does it represent movement of the plate/magma body relative to each other, or does it represent two separate paths of least resistance? Or something else?
Have you thought about a video on the hot springs in Saratoga, Wyoming (far from Yellowstone) and Thermopolis, Wyoming (closer to Yellowstone)? As a Wyomingite, I was always curious about Saratoga having hot springs. Having grown up there I know there is a hot spot somewhere, but can't get an answer out of anyone. Some say it's water flowing from Yellowstone, but we have several Kimberlite pipes in the area, Steamboat Springs, Colorado isn't that far from Saratoga, Wyoming. Any help would be great.
Hi, thank you for that video.i am from Australia and have lived and explored these places . I now have a better understanding of their creation. Do you know anything about Dookie which is in Northern Victoria Australia, which is a small town built on/in an extinct volcanoe
I always like to discover maar volcano, so this is a great video for me to watch! If you can, can you make a video about Mount Karangetang? Its a volcano that is located in the Sitaro (Siau-Tagulandang-Biaro) islands and always active. Thanks, greetings from Manado😄
Never thought that there was in Australia such an young volcanism. Looking tô my own country it makes me wonder, is Brazil the single largest country not to have a single active volcano or volcanic field?
I live in the western suburbs of Melbourne. What kind of advance warning of a new eruption cycle could we expect? I presume some ground uplift or earthquake swarms?
How about checking out North and Northeast ARIZONA. There are the Springerville field (which goes from New Mexico boarder West to Show Low,AZ) and the San Francisco ( Flagstaff az area)peaks field. Both Very Large fields. THANKS
This makes me wonder if a maar forming steam flash could be caused by thermal power schemes where water is injected deep into the hot rocks underlying land near population center's in order to generate steam if fracking is used to fracture the underlying rocks.
I dont know but the Cambrian Rise Burlington VT Lake Champlain between the Adirondak and Green Mountains. I live on the rise the oldest rock that contains fossils. Much older rock got pushed up after glaciers.
Sadly, no. There are two areas which seem more likely, but much like a tornado risk map for a given day with varying percentages, a tornado can still occur in the lowest risk area mapped (2% in the case of US tornado maps).
turn down anything thats 240hz and lower just a bit please. making the bezel on the TV sound like a Buick Regal playing Mos Def with a loose license plate bracket. love the information! will say a subscriber, need that knowledge..

I've been to Tower Hill, it's spectacular, you can climb up to a lookout in the centre and take in the whole crater, that whole region is fascinating.
This reminds me of the Eifel maars, where 3 of them are also very close to each other too.
Nice video
Thank you 🖐👴

Australia has the coolest names for things.
the nearest town to tower hill is called warrnambool
Actually the nearest town is Koroit…
I now our words can be tricky but he massacred Wangoom (Wāŋ-gōm)
@@christopherharvie8716 koroit is insignificant
i have been there, it is like three houses

Newer Volcanic Region is gorgeous. Went there a few years ago and it's just a gorgeous place to chill out and take in the view.

Great video! Cute roo at the end there too!
I am from Belgium but visited Tower Hill four times over the years, having friends in Portland helped.
Australians would be stunned if one these fields became active once again.👀
Some Australians would be stunned. More Australians would have to deal with the consequences.

Some requests:
Last Brazillian Volcano: Paredão at Trindade Island.
Pico do Fogo at Cabo Verde.
Highest point at Americas: Aconcagua.
I am particularly interested in Aconcagua.
Another very informative video thanks.
11,700 years is an oddly speciic number - where is it from?

Thousands of school children have visited Tower Hill , planted trees and fed the animals .
Such a peaceful place from a violent beginning. ❤
im from vic, we love going hiking in tower hill whenever we go to warrnambool, its very pretty and very fascinating
Interesting stuff. 🌋

Do you know anything about Dookie which is in Northern Victoria Australia, which is a small town built on/in an extinct volcanoe

Kangaroos and wallabies are good friends!

Cool! Never knew that existed let alone what forces created it.
Mt Napier, Mt Rouse eruption time frame explanation? i remembered reading Rouse has a gem stone or similar found in its proximity?
Never thought that there was in Australia such an young volcanism. Looking tô my own country it makes me wonder, is Brazil the single largest country not to have a single active volcano or volcanic field?

1:43 "Several kilometers per day" sounds extremely fast.

It would be helpful if you start your maps zoomed way out to give it global context
Is there any way to narrow down the location of the next eruption?
Yep
Really?
@@TheSpaceEnthusiast-vl6wx Yep, its called, anywhere in that general area.
Very scientific terminology and very accurate as well.
Thanks.
Sadly, no. There are two areas which seem more likely, but much like a tornado risk map for a given day with varying percentages, a tornado can still occur in the lowest risk area mapped (2% in the case of US tornado maps).
