This makes you wonder how the Yellowstone Volcano would look.

 

[-Horizon-]

Would be terrifying to experience first hand

but my god is that cool to look at in photos

"In this situation, with the eruption column so high, the main risk is that it collapses, falls due to gravity because of its own weight and causes a pyroclastic flow," Gabriel Orozco, a vulcanologist with Chile's geological and mining service, said on local TV.

A pyroclastic flow is a superheated current of gas and rock that can destroy nearly everything in its path and travel at speeds upwards of 200 to 300 kilometres per hour.

Well lets hope that doesn't happen.

Amazing shots, possible the best I've ever seen of this kind of eruption. Feel bad for everyone within 1000 miles of that thing, though.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

These photos are absolutely incredible.

I'm in Temuco right now (about 400kms from the volcano) and ashes have arrived here.

It's okay, 2012 showed us that John Cusack can run and drive away from the pyroclastic flows of supervolcanoes.

Hey, another temuquense!

If it becomes to difficult for my grandma to breathe because of the ashes my aunt wants to take her to her home in Santiago. Imagine, going to Santiago because it would be easier to breathe!

 

[Ostinatto]

I'ts over.

 

[Lumination]

Thanks for the thread.

Absolutely fascinating.

 

[Bluekaveli]

i think i see goku fighting frieza amongst the smoke

First thing I thought of

Thanks. She's ok my aunt just worries too much sometimes.

Satellite pic from yesterday's evening.

 

[okno]

Those photos are absolutely incredible. My heart goes out to those effected.

Can the pyroclastic flow happen at any time, or is the threat of that over?

That was quite a cough

Chile has 123 active volcanos, so any time. O.O

 

[Ostinatto]

And i think he is back

 

[FuuRe]

So an expert just told to a local newspaper about the arrival of the ash cloud to Santiago, happening tomorrow.

The thing has travelled at least 500kms (310~ miles) atm, Santiago is located 900kms (590~ miles) to the north of the volcano.

Will take pics tomorrow if they are worthy.

 

[ChosenPredator]

so when a super volcano erupts we're fucked?

Really? That'd be half of Chile under an ash cloud... that seems ominous.

the ash cloud is 10 miles tall.

Cheers dude.

 

[Clydefrog]

And i think he is back

he must have had Taco Bell

Fucking saiyans.

It's official, the volcano is now dual wielding craters

A new crater opened up, due to the huge volcanic activity

If anything I think all chileans are prepared to die at any time.

 

[CTLance]

Bwahahaha, thanks for that mental image.

Hope nothing serious happens though.

 

[Neverforget]

Beautiful but terrifying pictures!

 

[Seventy70]

So when a volcano releases a bunch of CO2 into the atmosphere it's cute, but when people do it, it's looked down upon? Double standards everywhere. This isn't fair!

"Analysis by @sernageomin shows 6 craters in the volcano, 4 of them are minor"

6 craters...

I'm sure i checked that on EMOL (news site) but for the life of me i cannot find the article, they had a picture in there that showed 2 smoke sources in the volcano.

Wanna hear something funny GAF? another major volcano in Chile (Villarrica) started activity a couple hours ago...

It was fun posting here, sadly i never got a tag, not even a penis related one

I just showed the OP to my son and he said "Chile is turning into Mordor"

I hope Chile gaf is okay. Also i have been wondering why that city is somewhat close to the volcano, seems weird to me to build there.

We are OK (for the most part)

 

[Zhengi]

That lightning has got to be fake, if not, DAMN MOTHER NATURE, YOU SCARY!!!!!

 

[Elfforkusu]

That's a hell of a thing you've got going on there.

Wowowowo this guy was walking around near the volcano with his camera, Holy shit!!!.

Holy cow talk about good timing!

Translation for everyone:

- National reserve Llanquihue, Las Cascadas zone
- Not a lot of people come here, so i'm trying to be brave... and adventurous
- Beautiful... the volcano in the background...

- WOW...
- WOW...
*camera sounds*
- MOTHERFUCKER

 

[Ostinatto]

What? I don't see anything, what's suppose to be happeniHOLY SHIT RUN AWAY!!!

rough translation

"LLanquihue's national reserve,
Waterfall areas,
Not a lot of people likes to come to these places,
But i believe i'm a brave man, and an adventurer,
beautiful, the volcano in the back....
WOW.... WOW....
Your mother's Cunt !!!"

 

[CTLance]

Hahaha, that "wow".
Lucky guy, being able to film that and getting away without getting roasted is pretty dang lucky. Dude should buy a lottery ticket.

I hope Chile gaf is okay. Also i have been wondering why that city is somewhat close to the volcano, seems weird to me to build there.

I wondered about the same thing, but I guess the area around volcanoes has excellent earth for farming, which probably attracted the first settlers. Their offspring will be likely to just stick with the land of their forefathers, being used to the volcano.

Plus, it's not like every eruption results in death. They're rare enough. I mean, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, meteoroids, war, sickness, famine - there's always some danger. People near volcanoes just add a few thousandths of a percent that there will be a deadly eruption in their lifetime.

Then there's tourism. Can't deny that a nearby volcano will bring in big bucks from curious adventurers and scientists.
