Does anyone get tired of watching 1000-foot lava fountains? I don't. Happening now:
🧵 As of Dec 5 we reached "last core on deck", so here's a brief update.
First things first: we enjoyed beautiful sundowners, but also had to go into WOW (‘wait on weather’) due to strong winds and high waves. Luckily, I don’t get seasick.
The scientists are very busy with sampling. In total we drilled 5 holes and recoverd 367 meters of core. In one of the holes we reached the max depth of 178 meters below seafloor, remember: in 7608 meters water depth. Expedition successful.

📢 One sound that becomes part of everyday life here is “core on deck”, which is announced every time a core arrives. Under normal conditions, one core takes about four hours to be retrieved.
Listen to it below. :)
The laboratories run 24 hours a day, and the scientists work in 12-hour shifts.
During visual core description, several tephra layers have been identified. These are traces of past volcanic eruptions and are important for age constraints.

ABC News: This volcano just erupted for the 1st time in 10,000 years
The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia had been dormant for all of recorded history. The eruption on Sunday, Nov. 23, sent massive ash clouds across the Red Sea.

Good morning from Japan!
Kagoshima on Kyushu is often compared with its Italian sister city Naples due to a similarly mild climate, relatively hot-tempered inhabitants and the presence of Mt. Sakurajima, an active volcano.

Under The Plume
Even though the eruption is 100km (62mi) away, the vog plume has been windblown in our direction all day
Although the sun is shining, the combination of toxic gases in the air has changed its light to sickly orange, and the clouds are strange and unusual
The steam from the #volcano is mixed with sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and many others. These filter the sunlight to produce otherworldly effects.

The overnight eruption of the Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka, its first in 600 years, may be connected to the huge earthquake that rocked Russia's Far East last week. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/03/world/kamchatka-quake-causes-volcano/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #kamchatka #volcano #earthquake

"But when a black-faced cloud the world doth threat,
In his dim mist the aspiring mountain hiding,
From earth's dark womb some gentle gust doth get,
Which blows these pitchy vapours from their biding,
Hindering their present fall by this dividing."
