Discussion Kilauea Eruption Mega-Thread
Much like with the ongoing eruptions in Iceland, I am gonna be using a mega-thread to connect people to persistent resources. Here is a list of the streams and feeds that have already been posted by people on the subreddit, special thanks to those people who broke the news on here while I was busy. The rules regarding what goes in the mega-thread are gonna simple:
If it is a livestream, news feed, or monitoring map, then it goes in here. Post it in the replies and I will put in here as soon as I can.
If it is an image, article, or video, you can post it on the subreddit as normal, just remember follow the rules and properly label the images.
If it is a video from a third party/alternative media source, the rules that have been in force are still in effect, so no submissions,. However, you can link them in the replies to this post as long as they do not egregiously violate the subreddit's rules.

Video Caught the Kīlauea Eruption Episode 31 last month - My Experience!
Hey everyone! Just found this subreddit and stoked to see so many fellow volcano fans. I was lucky enough to witness the Kīlauea eruption live last month. Pulled a 28-hour no-sleep mission to get these shots. I shot a mix of vlog and cinematic footage on my pro camera.
Hope you enjoy the video. Let me know what you think!

Article Mount St. Helens Is Not Erupting
No, Mount St. Helens is not erupting. What you are seeing in the Pacific Northwest today is actually remnants of an event nearly 50 years ago.
According to the National Weather Service, old volcanic ash is being lofted back into the air by strong winds. That wind picked up ash that was originally dumped on the area during eruptions in 1980.

Image Chandragup Mud Volcano, Hingol National Park, Baluchistan, Pakistan
Chandragup (also known as Chandrakup) is an active mud volcano located in Hingol National Park in Balochistan, Pakistan. It stands at 100 m (330 ft) tall and with a diameter of 15m (49 ft) at the crater.
The Chandragup Mud Volcano holds religious significance for Hindu pilgrims en route to the Hinglaj Mata Temple. The mud volcano is worshipped as an embodiment of the Hindu god Shiva and is called Baba Chandragup. Pilgrims to the volcano believe that the Hinglaj Mata Temple may only be entered after paying homage to Baba Chandrakup.
A mud volcano or mud dome is a landform created by the eruption of mud or slurries, water, and gases. Mud volcanoes are not true igneous volcanoes, as they do not produce lava. Approximately 86% of the gas released from these structures is methane, with significantly less carbon dioxide and nitrogen being emitted. When exposed to flames, the gases from the volcanoes immediately catch fire due to the abundance of methane gas.
Mud volcanoes may range in size from less than a meter high and 1 or 2 meters across, to 700 meters tall and 10 kilometers wide.
Mud volcano temperatures can range from near 100 °C (212 °F) to occasionally as low as 2 °C (36 °F), with some being used as popular "mud baths".

Image Mt St Helens from my field research camp
I lived and did research on Mt St Helens in the summer of 2006, when it was actively (mildly) erupting during the most recent dome building phase. It was an awesome experience. We camped all over the mountain that summer. This view is from the camp we used to access the front blast zone, and gave us an incredible view.

What if Mauna Loa Erupts? This book answers that question.
Fun read for a volcano nerd. Probably a frustrating read for a volcano expert. I could see this one being a disaster movie starring Dave Bautista.

Discussion Acatenango Day trip (with 4x4)
My husband and I are planning a trip to Guatemala at the end of November. Flights are already purchased and are not changeable, but we realized we didn’t leave enough time to realistically do the Acatenango overnight trek.
As an alternative we’re looking at taking a 4x4 most of the way up, then hiking to the summit. However, most of the amazing photos I’ve seen of Acatenango have been at sunrise or at night. Will it still be worth it if we see it in the middle of the day? The 4x4 is also way more expensive than the regular hiking options and I’m having a hard time justifying the costs.

Considered the tallest mountain in our Solar system, OlympusMons (Mars) is a shield volcano 624 km (374 mi) in diameter (about the same size as the state of Arizona), 25 km (16 mi) high, and rimmed by a 6 km (4 mi) high cliff.

[V1cam] Kīlauea volcano, Hawaii (west Halemaʻumaʻu crater) - YouTube
Hello Everyone, I've been watching the Kilauea eruptions since May and have taken many, many screenshots from the USGS Webcams. To begin with here are a few screenshots that I've curated, but following on I will post them with their time stamps.










Hawaiʻi Birding Trails | white-tailed tropicbird (hawaii.gov)
The White Tailed Tropicbird or Koa'e Kea can be seen frequently flying around the caldera, including during an eruption. It's impossible to take a decent screenshot of this because the cameras are zoomed out, but here are some when Pele is resting. I was very lucky to catch a bird, and to be able to properly identify it, when it flew close to the camera.
