Bismark Sea NE of Papua New Guinea. Didn't know about this one.

The graphics are AI but I felt, regardless of the dramatic pics the video pretty well explains how these things work and was a learning curve for me. Well narrated as far as I am concerned. Not a fan of AI but did well in this case.

Hope you find it enlightening as I did.


Kind regards,

That was very interesting. I love this sort of thing.

Fun fact: when I was a kid, maybe even up to my early teens (?), I did not realize our planet was still volcanically active. Now I was one of those bright kids that bordered on gifted in some ways and I now find it pretty incredible that I was so clueless.

I thought volcanoes went extinct with the dinosaurs or some shit? Gaining further knowledge, I thought Krakatoa's 1883 eruption was the last one ever. It is funny the bubbles of ignorance we can sometimes live in.

The destructive power of these things really hit home the first time I motorcycle toured the Pacific Northwest. Seeing half of Mount St. Helens blown away and the other Cascadian giants rising into the sky made me realize how small and helpless we were against the forces of nature.

We don't have volcanoes in Aussie. Earthquakes are rare, more like tremors. I'd like to see an active volcano just out of curiousity.
