In Oregon, there is a towering stratovolcano which completely formed in the last 15,000 years and might one day erupt again. Located west of the town of Bend is this complex is known as Mount Bachelor, which contains approximately 50 vents and may one day erupt again. While it is uncertain whether this complex will ever erupt again, the fact that it did erupt 8,000 years ago means Mount Bachelor is still classified as an active volcano. This video discusses Mount Bachelor's eruptive history and discusses what future hazards it might pose.

Mt. Bachelor is actually one of the most fun and challenging ski resorts that I've ever been to. It also has one of the prettiest views I've ever seen at a ski resort. Mt. Bachelor is a mountain that is well worth visiting!

@ianallen738 5 месяцев назад

RTS is the only run i can think of on that mountain that is challenging.

@oregonbeachdad 5 месяцев назад

@@ianallen738 -You're thinking of Willamette Pass, as that's where RTS is located. Drop the double black diamond bowl on Bachelor, and ride the backside runs. It's consistently rated one of the top ski resorts in America.

It is really strange that I was told most of my life how all these volcanoes were extinct, that after a few thousand years of dormancy they were definitely never going to erupt again, yadayada.... Only to now learn that in fact, most volcanoes can erupt again and only very few are truly extinct. Or rather, the hot spot has moved and what I thought was a volcano was merely a vent of a large volcano complex. Thumbs up for the excellent explanation.

I wonder if they ever made an action-horror movie about a ski resort that gets destroyed by an active volcano? In one of the final scenes you see a bunch of skiers racing down the volcano as it explodes in the background.

@HONGKELDONGKEL1888 5 месяцев назад

Allow me to add some more to your idea. So before an eruption would begin, there would be the usual precursors like uplift, deformation, earthquakes, all that, right? What if the local government and the business owners keep the site running despite Bachelor waking up and getting ready for action. Money money money. And the first sign that she is going is a steam explosion from melting ice seeping into the hot stuff and poof. And there are resort staff victims covered up to keep from losing income. When she finally goes big it's only when everyone realizes that the mountain is up and about and there's this Dante's Peak type pyroclastic flow that starts racing down the slopes.

Mt Bachelor is just SW of our home by 25 miles roughly. It is a pretty mountain but does not have the volcano look that 3 Sisters & Broken Top have. It is interesting to learn more about Mt Bachelor the longer I live here(going on 28 years now). Have you done a segment on the 3 Sisters yet?

@poponachtschnecke 5 месяцев назад

😅 I wasn't very familiar with Bachelor when I hiked the South Sister, and I remember starting out in the morning from a hotel in Bend, and when Bachelor initially came in to view I thought it was the South Sister. Once we got closer though I became utterly confused by the structures well up it's slopes, and finally was sure it was not the Mountain I was looking for. 😅

At one point, you mention that a given eruption lasted about 5 weeks. How can we tell the duration of an eruption a few thousand years ago like this? What methods allow us to get this kind of data, i.e . can we use chemical analysis of christals or length of lava flows, etc?

@Catario2005 5 месяцев назад

You got a point

@GeologyHub 5 месяцев назад

Appearance of lava flows, computer models, looking at similar (historical) volcanic eruptions are certain methods used to determine this.

Geologists call a volcano active if it has erupted in the past 11-12,000 years (Holocene).

@RSimpkinuk57 5 месяцев назад

@@b.a.erlebacher1139 According to a newspaper article over a year ago, a scientific committee has been tasked with defining what, in the geological record currently being laid down, will mark the start of a new epoch, the anthropocene. Once it is agreed that the holocene has moved from being the current epoch to the one before, will this redefine as dormant all volcanoes which erupted then but not since?

@b.a.erlebacher1139 5 месяцев назад

@@RSimpkinuk57 lol. I'm sure that there are a lot of people in the world who would be delighted if their local volcano could be made dormant by committee fiat! If necessary, they will no doubt rephrase it as "since the start of the Holocene" if isn't phrased that way already.

@sgtbilkothe3rd 5 месяцев назад

NW of Mt. Bachelor and west of the Middle Sister is "The Husband" another heavily glaciated remnant stratavolcano located within the Three Sisters Wilderness established in 1964. The Three Sisters are three much larger stratavolcanoes, that used to be known as "Faith" "Hope" and "Charity", but now known as the North Sister, Middle Sister, and South Sister. Along with Broken Top and Belknap Crater I have climbed them all. Bachelor too, long before the ski area had the quad "summit chair" that does not actually reach the true summit.
