Images of Massive Volcano Eruption

WOW!!! That is incredible. It took me a minute to view the video, my work blocks youtube!

Stay safe and indoors!

Wow! The real thing is much more amazing to watch than computer-generated stuff.

HOLY S**T!

The boulder on the car was a good one, and the boats too!

Lyn, that link is about an earthquake that occurred more than a year ago. It is the same country at least.

Perhaps a small admonishment is due for relying a bit too much on doing a cursory Web search? You do get credit for practicing what you preach, even if it is beyond the point of utility.

Touche'.

I have given myself 5 OT lashes.

I'd love to see one of these things live, at a safe distance.

It's safe to prescribe a trip to Iceland for that particular ailment. Come back, Eyjafjallajokull. All is forgiven!

According to th e newspapers 3 joung climbers were walking around the volcano´s mouth just when the rock´n roll started.... luckily they managed to return safe and sound!

So did this one blow enough ash and whatnot into the atmosphere to achieve any measurable climatic variances?

Just curious because if the climate nazis end up with another cooler than predicted year they are going to screaming foul and blaming this for it.

Damn that Mother Nature. She just doesn't cooperate with the program does she?

The volcano seemed to have taken a rest, cause there has been no eruptions since yesterday or so. All the cities in that are area now covered with a couple of inches of a very volatile and abrasive dust. Car mechanics will get very happy in some months from now! Neighbours are shovelling their roofs and sidewalks hoping it will be it. Here in Buenos Aires (some 1000 miles N-E) sky got grey yesterday due to the ashes. Flights to the south are still cancelled.

Nature is very un-ecological!

Sun Spot Run! Actually sun spot activity and global mean temperature are very strongly correlated. I think more sun spots equates to hot and dry times in the northern hemisphere, as in La Nina. El Nino is the opposite part of the cycle, where it stays cooler and rains more. We love El Nino here in Lubbock, TX.

I am more concerned with the net export of Chile's Carmenera and Cabernet Savignon wine production. Maybe the extra sulfur helps with any root rot problems they could have at lower elevations, but Chile might not have the same indiginous diseases the vines have in Texas.

I have searched the web to find the "indigo¡us disease vines have in Tx", having found nothing about that issue. Can you please be a little more specific? ;-) Great that you like Chilean wines.... but if you like really good Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, you should try wines produced this side of the border (Argentina) !!!! :-)

Malbec and Bonarda come to mind when I think of Argentinean wines. Kind of like Barolo and Barbaresco come to mind for Italian wines. I'm sure Italy and Argentina produce some good wines modeled after wines made famous elsewhere, it seems like a narrowing of experience.

.

Well, like my mother would always say, 'de gustibus non est disputandum'.

.

I would regret it later if I didn't ask..., do you have any recommendations for native Argentinean wines beyond Malbec or Bonarda, that are worth experiencing?

The beginning of this video is very impressive. It's obviously timelapse, but I was unable to find the frame rate.

Here is another good video of the event:

Frame rate is very high. A friend of mine who lives down there sent me a video he shot and it looks like a dense column of ashes. Lightnings sue to static electricity seen during the night are really impressive!

The volcano "Calbucó" has rested for some days returning to activity this morning. Here are some images taken on the Chilean side of the border: https://youtu.be/X2eGO9rYGHE Ashes are expected to fall tonight on the Argentinean towns located along the border, at a distance of about 100 miles from the volcano.
