Nice images and videos.

Scroll down to end of images for a terrific video of the explosion. Note the blast wave travel through the cone.

These babies pack a punch. I'd love to be there to hear and feel it.

 

Scroll to the bottom to see a video of the explosion. Note the blastwave travel down the cone.

With the next few solar cycles being likey very low it will be interesting to see if we get a spike up in volcanos eruptions over the next few decades doing this upcoming solar minimum.

I've heard an increasing number of scientists are buying that theory now. Seems bizarre, but it's possible.

An underwater volcano erupted near Tonga and according to the images that are taken through the satellite, the scientists are saying that it might give birth to a temporary island. The satellite photos revel that a plume of turquoise color bursting from the dark blue sea. But The discoloration is likely caused by gas, rocks and volcanic fluid firing from the volcano.http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/02/09/10/3CFFC54300000578-4207326-An_underwater_volcano_erupting_near_Tonga_could_birth_a_temporar-a-5_1486637082633.jpg

You know, in that we've had a slightly quieter period of late, it wouldn't surprise me to see the planet wake up. Claire's post on Tonga is an example of that. I know the Canary Islands have periods of waking and a new small island formed a few years ago as well.

An Alaskan volcano experienced its largest eruption to date and created a large ash cloud. For the past several months, Bogoslof Volcano has had minor eruptions, but the most recent was its strongest, sending ashes 35,000 feet above sea level.
