34 دقيقة من ثورات بركانية هائلة

From an Indonesian man who recorded this 23,000 ft ash plume and lava fountain in Hawaii that left these tourists stunned to shockwave eruption in Japan that rocked the nearby city and volcanic lake in the Philippines that sent geyser into the sky. Here are 34 minutes of extreme volcano eruptions. Of all the places to set up base camp, the side of an active volcano sounds like bad idea. These Indonesian climbers would beg to differ. They're here for the thrill and they got what they paid for on the morning of May 11th of 2018 when Mount Merapi in Central Java blew its lid during breakfast. The group hurried to evacuate the area as massive smoke plume rose into the air. Imagine turning around only to see this monstrosity looming over your head. Mount Merapi is the most active volcano in Indonesia. It also rests in one of the country's most densely populated areas, meaning large-scale eruption can spell catastrophe for those below. Thankfully, this 2018 eruption lasted only 5 minutes with most of the volcanic ash drifting toward the Indian Ocean. About 9,000 people living within few miles of the volcano were evacuated safely, but returned home shortly after things calmed down. The only injury occurred when member of the hiking group tripped while running for cover. This next group wasn't going anywhere when the volcano they decided to scale suddenly erupted before their eyes. Mount Dukono on Halmahera Island in Indonesia is 4,200-ft volcanic complex containing multiple peaks and overlapping craters. It's been in state of constant eruption since 1933, meaning that those brave enough to hike up the side are bound to see something incredible. Wow. WOW. WOW. Holy think we felt that. think we felt the both THE AFTER BLAST. HOLY JESUS. WOW, this is the best experience in my entire life. Ash plumes during this June of 2024 eruption rose nearly 4,000 ft into the air. Despite warnings to stay outside the 2-mi exclusion zone, these hikers decided to risk it all for once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not far from Mount Dukono on the same island of Halmahera, Indonesia, is 1,300-ft stratovolcano known for its scenic eruptions. Mount Ibu, also known as Gunung Ibu, sits on the northwestern coast of the volcanic island. It features several nested summit craters with the largest outer crater spanning roughly 3/4 of mile. In late November of 2015, camera crew positioned itself within safe recording range during multi-week eruptive period. Let's just say the sounds were almost as good as the sights. During this eruptive period, smoke plumes rose nearly 1,500 ft above the summit crater. That'd be like sticking the Empire State Building on top of 4,300 ft volcano. In 2023, Ibu became Indonesia's second most active volcano behind Mount Merapi with over 21,000 recorded eruptions. That's 58 eruptions every single day. Despite being Japan's most active volcano, Mount Sakurajima in Kyushu rarely makes many headlines. Then, in the early to mid 2010s, the 3,600 ft stratovolcano entered into prolonged period of powerful eruptions and loud sonic booms. This footage from February of 2013 captures what can only be described as shockwave eruption. It's the kind you see, then hear few seconds later. It's unclear when exactly this footage was taken. According to the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Project, several eruptions during this period produced plumes rising between 4,000 and 12,000 ft above the crater. Fun fact, Sakurajima used to be an island. Then, the lava from an eruption in 1914 connected the island to the Osumi Peninsula on the mainland. Between 2010 and 2015, there were roughly 1,000 eruptions each year with the locals growing accustomed to two or three every day. Of course, living within 5 mi of your country's most active volcano comes with inherent risks. That's why the nearby city of Kagoshima takes volcanic disaster prevention seriously. Evacuation plans include 72 shelters, houses, and ports meant to protect those closest to the mountain from flying volcanic boulders. For 800 years, the volcanic system known as Fagradalsfjall in Iceland had been largely dormant. Then, in March of 2021 and August of 2022, two extended periods of volcanic activity suggested that the network had finally woken up. year later, in July of 2023, lava began pouring out of Litli-Hrútur, 1,000-ft peak on the Reykjanes Peninsula not far from Fagradalsfjall's prior eruptive sites. The earth split open and literal fountains of lava began dancing from new fissures as clouds of sulfur dioxide and other volcanic gases floated into the sky. Mhm. The eruption calmed shortly after this initial burst of energy. The main fissure shrank rapidly from over 2,600 ft to roughly 246 ft. That's like going from seven football fields down to less than one. At the height of its power, scientists from the University of Iceland believed that the volcano was discharging roughly 12 cubic meters of lava per second. That's enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool in under 4 minutes. Regarding the toxic gases, Fagradalsfjall emitted several thousands of tons of sulfur dioxide per day, similar to what they saw during the 2021 and 2022 events. Thankfully, high winds pushed most of the cloud away from civilization and out onto the Atlantic Ocean, though some managed to loop back and affect the air quality in the nearby city of Reykjavik. The world's most active volcano, by far, is Mount Kilauea in Hawaii. At only 4,000 ft tall, the shield volcano isn't among the largest, but what it lacks in height, it makes up for in surface area and volcanic activity. Eruptions are near-constant occurrence on Mount Kilauea and have been since 1983. That means there's no shortage of extraordinary footage, starting with montage of lava fountains taken during recent eruptions between March and December of 2025. Okay. This USGS camera got little too close for comfort during that last December eruption we just saw. Up next is more recent footage from an eruption on February 15th of 2026. It began around 1:30 in the afternoon and didn't let up until close to midnight. According to the USGS, peak fountain heights measured roughly 1,300 ft. Imagine lava shooting so high that it could jump over the Eiffel Tower with 300 ft to spare. But, lava fountains aren't the only things these USGS cameras capture. This Kilauea cam recorded what appeared to be large dust devil moving across the mountain. In these settings, they're technically called ash devils or lava devils, depending on the kind of debris involved. They form when intense volcanic temperatures superheat the surface air. This causes it to rise rapidly and mix with the cooler air above, forming the tornado-like cyclone that picks up loose debris. It's not the kind of thing you want to cross paths with, as the swirling air is far hotter than your average dust devil. Despite being the most active and the most famous of the Hawaiian volcanoes, Kilauea is technically the youngest. It first formed underwater over quarter million years ago. Like Mount Etna, it grew underwater with eruptions slowly pushing it above the surface between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago. Today, it covers broad area slightly smaller than the island of Oahu, which measures just under 600 square miles, or about the size of Oklahoma City. After four centuries of relative inactivity, Mount Sinabung in Sumatra, Indonesia, suddenly roared back to life. Starting in 2010, the 8,000-ft stratovolcano entered into an explosive phase that saw some of the largest eruptions in its history. Among the most impressive was an event on February 19th of 2018, when Mount Sinabung erupted shortly before noon. Meanwhile, in the nearby city of Kandy Bate local man kept his camera rolling as the smoke plume above Sinabung rose between 16,000 and 23,000 ft into the sky. According to local reports, the erupting lava dome spewed at least 1.6 million cubic meters of volcanic material from the summit. large chunk of the peak was also obliterated, which might explain why the plume grew so wide. Hot gas and ash rode down the sides and grew roughly 3 miles in diameter. Meanwhile, ashfall was reported in towns as far as 160 miles away. Some villages were coated in blanket of ash, which according to scientists can be significant health hazard. You see, volcanic ash isn't the same as the soft fluffy ash you get from burning wood. It's primarily made of tiny jagged particles of volcanic glass, which can wreak havoc on your lungs if you breathe it in. With 38 historic eruptions, Taal Volcano in the Philippines is the second most active volcano in the country. The 108 square mile caldera is largely filled by Lake Taal. Within Lake Taal is 3-mile wide Volcano Island, which serves as the location of all observed eruptions. Think of it like volcano that's in lake in volcano. On October 26th of 2025, camera stationed near Volcano Island captured this footage during relatively minor eruption in the main crater. According to reports, this was one of three small eruptions to occur that day. The ash plume rose nearly 7,000 ft into the air, but that was nothing compared to an eruption 5 years prior, which sent ash plumes soaring well above cruising altitude. It had been 43 years since the last eruption at Taal. In the weeks that followed, the Philippine Seismic Network recorded over 2,300 volcanic earthquakes and even issued warning about possible volcanic tsunami from falling debris. In the end, the eruption and follow-up events claimed 39 lives, destroyed over 4,000 homes, and caused roughly 67 million dollars in damage. Roughly 60 miles off the northwestern coast of Africa rests cluster of volcanic land masses known as the Canary Islands. The tropical archipelago of roughly 2.2 million people is technically under Spanish rule and has been since the 15th century. Of the seven main islands, the third largest, the island of La Palma, is home to the area's most active volcano, Cumbre Vieja. At 125,000 years old, Cumbre Vieja is relatively young in volcanic terms, but that doesn't mean it's any less fierce. This compilation from devastating eruption in December of 2021 shows how much damage the young volcano can do. This eruption actually began on September 19th, marking the first catastrophic eruption at Cumbre Vieja in 50 years. It lasted until December 13th, making it the longest and most costly event in La Palma since records began. By the time it was over, the eruption had coated roughly 7.5 square miles of La Palma in lava. Buildings were destroyed and thousands of locals were displaced. On the eastern coast of Sicily lies an 11,000 ft behemoth with one of the world's longest documented records of volcanism dating back to 1500 BCE. Towering over the city of Catania, Mount Etna is the tallest Mediterranean island mountain and the most active stratovolcano in the world. An eruption on August 29th of 2021 marked significant milestone for Etna. It was the 50th time the mountain had blown its lid that year, making it one of the most active years in recent decades. Here's what it looked like as Etna erupted during the day and continued spewing lava into the night. Eruptions like these have caused Etna to grow significantly over the past 30,000 years. In fact, scientists believe that Etna began as submarine volcano that grew layer by layer until it became the 11,000 ft mountain we know today. In Greek mythology, Etna is believed to be the lair of Typhon, giant serpentine monster who is trapped under the mountain by Zeus after failed attempt to overthrow the gods.
