Yasur has been erupting for roughly 750 years? Yikes!

Re: Out of the not so silent planet -- Active Volcanos
I saw that, pretty frightening potentially. There are two semi-active volcanoes within 100 miles of here, Baker U.S. and Mt. Garibaldi (B.C.) Its been awhile since the last eruptions in Baker's case maybe the 1860's?GCoyote wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 4:51 amDid you catch the documentary on it that was rebroadcast this week?

Edit: I was over by the Seholme neighborhood here where the workers were digging out the foundation space for a new apartment building. One of the things I noticed was like a 6 foot layer of ash in the 20 foot high trench probably an eruption from Mt. Baker 10's of thousands of years ago. Glad I wasn't around for that one.
Baker is kind of scary as it is cone shaped. Also emitted some steam in the 1970's.

I flew over Mt. Baker in my brother's light airplane years ago. It was steaming then. Apparently the plume of steam was a permanent feature. It took the little plane forever to climb up there, but it was fun looking down into the crater.

Re: Out of the not so silent planet -- Active Volcanos
If it is still steaming that's not so good. It's only about 30 miles from my house. Folks up here aren't concerned at all and I've never actually heard anyone talking about it. They call it Kulshan now, the Native American name, and there is a microbrewery named after it in town.
