It is my absolute dream to visit this magnificent amazing volcano. My top favorite of any other. I wonder if there is another one like it anywhere in our solar system.
This volcano erupts rare naturocarbanatite lava with almost no silicates, hence the very fluid low temperature flow. The caldera of this volcano has been filled with this lava and it sports spikes from which lava spurts called hornatitos, also a rare volcanic phenomenon. In low light the lava glows with an intense red color (not shown). The cone of the volcano was formed by andesite from earlier eruptions.
This volcano is only 1 in the whole world. It is in Tanzania, East Africa The liquid is cold and has viscosity lesser than water. Although its black when ejected, it gradually turns white. The one who posted this clip is silent about its details.
I think this volcano is my all time favourite, just because it is so strange. The clip of video where the lava is foaming out of the vent is mavellous- if it weren't black in colour the lava could almost be spewing out of a detergent overdosed washing machine!
It's literally like from another Solar System, because it's a unique one in ours (probably). So it's even rarer than interstellar comets, as at least 2 have been found. Simply some galactic stuff.
I have no doubt that this is lava like the scientists say it is. But looking on video without being there to feel the heat and smell the gasses released, part of my brain keeps (wrongly) insisting this is watery mud similar to the mud pots at Yellowstone. Just some weird cognitive dissonance I guess.🙂
Volcano's= Earth Zits. This has got to be one of the most beautiful volcano...taken at a far distance looks like silver...but then get up close and its like a false oasis ain't soi pretty but most certainly fascinating. Never seen lava that is foamy
