Our Universe's Most Volatile Volcanoes | Volcanic | BBC Earth Science

From ice-capped volcanoes on Earth, to the huge fire-fountains in space, discover the unforgiving volcanic systems that shape our solar system. 🪐

That is precisely why I LOVE volcanoes, earthquakes, storms, & other extremes of nature~ They are humbling & remind me that very little is under my control.

This is the best volcano videos I have ever seen.

[jacoblahr]

The whole video is my favorite. Hands down the best program ive ever seen about volcanoes anywhere! 😁👍 I learned so much and it was very well produced and edited great show.

Those ice caves would make amazing Fortress of Solitude settings. Shoot all the caves from every angle and use that trick they use on Mandolorian

Even after this happened, dude went BACK.

Amazing and creepy film about Volcanoes! i bow to the courageous volcanologists

I lived for several years in Eldorado, a small town in São Paulo, Brazil, where there is the entrance to a cave of volcanic origin called Caverna do Diabo (Devil's Cave). Tourists can only appreciate the first magnificent galleries that extend for a few tens of meters from the entrance, but the cave extends for more than 100 kilometers underground and emerges in another city. Only very trained people get authorization to exploit this. All of that was created by intense volcanic activity millions of years ago.

"...they're exquisite, sort of like Fairyland."
Where is this 'Fairyland' place that many folks talk so highly of ? Are there pics of it?

I AM THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE * gets crushed by a volcanic molten-rock, falling from the sky out of no where 😁🤣😂

It's funnyto hear Io being called a 'people's definition of a hellscape'. I know that Arthur C Clarke had a character of his in his novel '2010' compare it to Tolkein's land of Mordor, even quoting a description of the latter to describe it..

That 🌋 on IO THE SIZE OF ALASKA WITH 200 MILE HIGH PLUMES HAS TO BE STAGGERING TO WITNESS. EVEN THOUGH ITS RUMORED TO BE ELECTRICAL SPARKS AND "NOT" LAVA. THE LOCATIONS OF THE PLUMES SHIFT, BY MILES WHICH ARENT CONSISTENT WITH VOLCANOES in terms of behavior. They also are too hot to be studied up close because they FRY THE INSTRUMENTATION AND THE GLARE IS TOO BRIGHT TO GET A GOOD PHOTO. OF THE PLUMES.

If Erebus is being supplied by material from 100km down in the mantle, does that indicate it's a hot-spot volcano rather than subduction-melt volcano?

Even venus is confirmed have geological active volcano

[EBalagot]

i want to do that even for just once see the lava lake

[carocuno]

What if the core of planets were cold. Ambient temperatures of space is -455 f.

[melanielynnkeyes]

I wonder when we will be so arrogant that we will plant extremophiles on the surface of Io just to see what wouldn't see it in our lifetimes, of course, but eventually... that would be a fascinating experiment.... I wonder who planted the exremophiles on Earth just to see what happens?

[carocuno]

Are we sure that volcanoes aren't previous star remnants or the sun shedding A layer remnants?

[KelticTim]

You’d think after the volcano took a chunk of his brain, they’d know there’s no reason to go back and try to look again. Now we have drones that can look for you

Labor code: workers must wear PPE when they in a hazardous materials

The scientist at the beginning is incredibly beautiful. Not my usual type of comment.
