I hope that you enjoyed my first non-Mauna Loa volcano update video. I decided to take a break from those videos since Mauna Loa's eruption has nearly ended. Interestingly, the U.S. Geological Survey also described to me that a similar "fake" volcanic structure can develop like rootless cones but instead forming miniature shield-like volcanic structures.
That's fine. Hawaii will continue to erupt 'for our viewing pleasure' until dormancy. I was thinking, based on your previous discussions about Iceland, was the lava flow was interacting with patches of ice, or perhaps permafrost, as it rose. And that's what caused the cone-forming eruptions. Ah well, I was almost correct.
Fun fact: rootless cones were filmed forming during the effusive stage of Eyjafjallajökull's 2010 eruption. That was the first footage ever made of them forming
I love the cadence of your voice:) It's very soothing to my ears, _which are usually annoyed._ However, my ears are unusually _sensitive to sound._ I hope my imitation of your delightful cadence is perceptible, through my _use of italics._
There are remains of pseudocraters just east of Reykjavík, called Rauðhólar(Red Hills) near the road to Heiðmörk. They were destroyed/bulldozed in WW2 when the airport of Reykjavík needed a layer of material under the runway. Sad.
excellent video as always GeologyHub! I hope that in the near future you would do a video speculating over the origin of a very strange geological feature in Siberia - the Patomskiy crater.
I was in Iceland for the last eruption in Sept. and I watched the eruption we also spent two weeks sightseeing. It was odd how cratered and humpy this area looks from ground level. It was actually sunny when we drove through this area and our guide took us down some farm roads past a few of the craters. Lots of sheep and horses as much of the area is farms. Lots of easy trails at the park, but it is a long drive and best to have a reservation in one of the dozens of farm house cottages, also there was one near the Skútustaðir Craters information center. Iceland is known for being expensive, but out there lodging was very reasonable. The lodging wasn't fancy, but was warm and cozy. Plenty of them too, seemed like everyone with an extra barn or out building turned it into a rental cottage.
I had the pleasure of staying there last summer, on one of the campings next to the lake. The sunsets on the old lave fields are really beautiful, and in general its a very fascinating area. We also went on a tour (with an offroad bus) to Askja from there. That vacation is what re-sparked my interest in volcanoes, and here i am watching back pretty old GH videos :)
North Dakota has 2 confirmed impact craters. But both are quite old and no longer exposed on the surface. Newporte Crater, 2 miles wide. Red Wing Crater, 5.6 miles wide.
Iceland will have a gold rush soon as the last eruption showed pockets of gold in the lava flow. It is always funny how two areas of geologist see different things in a lava flow. A volcanologist has no idea how the gold got in the lava, while a mineral geologist would expect lava to carry metals.
Wrong. There never was gold. It´s based on one twitter speculation by a scientist and even she didn´t think there was much possibility of it, which is wasn´t.
I remember that incident...and there were videos made of that pocket...however they think that it came from a tourist who was foolishly jumping on the still warm lava flow and her bracelet came undone...seemingly they were hunting for it...I don't know if that is when they found this pocket.
I really enjoy your videos. Have you done one on the volcanic field in the in France. I think there are around 450 extinct volcanoes in the Massif Central. fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parc_naturel_r%C3%A9gional_des_Volcans_d%27Auvergne

In Iceland, one can hardly speak of 'geologic oddity'
Iceland itself is one giant geologic oddity
LOL
🤣
Surely you have a word for "boring"!

Didn't know about rootless cones - thank you.
Wow, all new info to me. Thanks.
Compliments to the Animation, sir!

War is the single most environmentally destructive human activity.
Awesome video! I want to go to Iceland so bad
The top of Ol Doinyo Lengai also had a surreal landscape densely populated with rootless cones before they got blasted to smithereens in 2007
Great video! Have always wondered about cinder and lava cones!
Utterly fascinating. Thank you !:-)
excellent video as always GeologyHub! I hope that in the near future you would do a video speculating over the origin of a very strange geological feature in Siberia - the Patomskiy crater.
I had heard that it was the nest of the Fire Eagle...
That is odd
I hope that if I ever get to go back to Iceland, this will be one of the places I get to See!

@@MountainFisher Thank You for sharing !:-)
@@barrydysert2974 You're welcome. Was a trip of a lifetime for me as I'm in my 70s.

Is there any geological oddities in North Dakota that you know of? Or are we a stable slab of rock?

@@GeologyHub I've lived here my whole life and never heard of those, gonna look them up thanks!
That was really interesting
The Geologic Oddity, Iceland
Where do phreatic eruptions fit into the picture you presen here? Perhaps not at all.
Makes me think of a flood basalt intrusion that went on for a long time but not with high volume but high gaseous volume
We need an update on the Lascar Volcano
私は創造主が招いてくださった宇宙船から見ている事しか出来ません✨
I think mud volcano would be interesting video
fulgurites! Electric scaring?
Can you make a video on the Agulhas Slide please?
Those aren’t volcanoes, that’s Mother Earth’s acne.

Stromboli?
Dotsero and or Lands end Lava flow Colorado*-)

Yes. He has posted hundreds of videos and has many playlists. Just go and look at His channel !:-)
