The Active Volcano in Canada; Crow Lagoon

Canada contains 21 active volcanoes. One of these volcanoes is located near the border with Alaska and contains 6 large explosion craters. The volcano I am referring to is called Crow Lagoon. Every few years, this volcano produces a swarm of earthquakes, meaning that it is still active. This video covers the recent eruptions from this volcano, explain how it formed, and states the general hazard which it poses in the future.

Despite how obvious it is that this system is a maar complex, it is not officially listed as one. Regardless, the remote Crow Lagoon volcano has definitely been the site of at least one series of post glacial eruptions.

I am still in awe that Canada has so many volcanic features! I would have never known if I didn’t follow this channel!

Thank you very informational and interesting well done

Honestly, it's these little known volcano complexes that both fascinate and terrify me. So much tie spaced out between eruptions, and that same amount of time spent for the underlying magma to add more crustal material and thus explosivity.

I wonder what the comparison recharge rate would be for a Graben style volcano vs a subduction triggered activity along volcanic arc. (i mean this relatively since volcanics seem to be highly situational and every volcano is fairly unique, and even down to each eruption can have it's own "personality.')

Like it or not, your voice is very relaxing. A natural explanator

Nevermind the fact that the province right next to me is full of volcanoes, but I didn't know about the rift zone!! Do you have any links to more Information regarding this topic? I love your videos by the way - thank you for consistently creating great informative videos!!🇨🇦🙂

Would be cool to have a video covering the volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains. I know you’ve already done the three most active but it would be cool to learn about the lesser known ones Karisimbi, Muhabura, Gahinga, etc

Thanks for your informative work! I was wondering if there would be anything interesting to say about the Mt Tabor volcano. I think it's extinct but its crater is now an amphitheater in a Portland (Oregon, USA) city park.

Crow Lagoon’s uncertain future and the threat to the native town is quite creepy...

Its weird that most canadian volcano's are not really noticeable. I've guess because of the wide permafrost in ground, most are explosion craters? Looked at sat maps canada is full of pockets of water which would kind of make sense.

I love the way he said prince rupert! He said rubert kinda just never heard it like that I’m from middle of bc and i always known it as Rupe-ert

[circusbabysclaw]

I like these videos your videos are really interesting about volcanoes a love it! Also it will be cool to do a Video about the Deccan traps Flood basalt volcano in india

Did the largest maar form in one catastrophic explosion or was it a series of smaller explosions? It would have been one heck of a scary sight to see a few cubic kilometers of rock get tossed into the air like that.

Really interesting, has the village been given an evacuation plan in case there is an eruption?

[morklee]

This is crazy! I know people is Lax too

[tomdolton]

It is Amazing how Canada has all these volcanoes And no one really mentioned much about it It makes me wonder is it true that there's a Volcano just 13 miles outside of Austin Texas Which that makes me wonder about two Other things I would like to hear covered that no one has cover Number one where is the fault line located running through downtown Houston? Number 2 is the depression that Louisiana is in is it natural or is it volcanic in nature?

With the on going crustal spreading, are we going to get a new inland sea and a sea route to Telegraph Creek?

[BlackCloudCV]

You requuest topics in each video which is an awesome way to promote curiosity from your viewers. With this I would like to offer a topic. In N. Eastern New Mexico there are several volcanoes, one of which is Mt. Capulin. Could you please tell us if it's considered active or extinct.

Thanks

Is the location of that volcano an active spreading ridge that may pull that area apart in the future?

[augustolobo]

Explain me something. If the crust is spreading apart in that reagion, why are there plenty of mountains?
