The question that comes to my mind why people build homes next to volcano's ?

Fascinating! I'd like to see mount Etna next time :)

The 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens is the largest recorded landslide in human history. You can find images and videos showing the before and after appearance of the mountain. The entire top and north face of the mountain was removed during the eruption. I live not too far from it and am also regularly treated to spectacular views of Mt Hood in Oregon.

You should have put Santorini. It has the world's largest caldera

Très intéressante vidéo, j'aimerais bien voir le Piton de la Fournaise sur l'Île de La Réunion dans l'Océan Indien.

I think the Mount Erebus is missed, because every other Area from the world is represented.

[Jr_Scientist]

It's one of the most dangerous volcanoes globally due to its history of devastating eruptions in AD 79.

Great vidéo ! Please provide subtitles in orher languages (spanish, french, italian, portuguese ...)

The last part of the video made me think I just watched a WatchMojo video. Very reminiscent of Ms. Mojo’s catchphrase at the end.

[anbicuro]

Wonderful! I'd like to see" el Ruiz" or "Nevado del Ruiz" thanks 🙏

Plumes are hot gases, lava ash, and lava bits. Not smoke, there is no combustion.

As imagens vistas do Espaço...são mesmo incríveis!! Forças da natureza ...impressionantes e como moldam a paisagem!! Como será viver com uma força e ver e conviver todos os dias ...como algo que dinamiza e se transforma?! Fantástico vídeo!!

I'm surprised the massive eruption in Samoa last year with satellite time lapses didn't make the list.

[tomdill]

That is not Mauna Loa at 2:19 in the video.

[zapfanzapfan]

I want that kind of closeup of volcanoes on Io 🙂

[susanahonorio]

Yellowstone é também um grande vulcão?

[karenpackham]

Mount Merapi (a "decade volcano" or Mount Bromo in Java.

[Vulcano]

Sorry to nitpick but:
01:50 Trees aren't plants? :D
02:44 Volcanoes don't emit smoke. Nothing is burning here. It's either volcanic ash or vapour or gas.
