  • The Daily Volcano Quote: volcanoes the safety valves of the globe

    Updated: 2011-06-24 23:44:11
    We regard the existence of volcanoes as evidential of divine benevolence … we refer now to active and not extinct volcanoes. And these, we are aware, are almost universally regarded as exhibitions of the displeasure of God, rather than of his benevolence. It is indeed true, that they are often terrific exhibitions of his power; [...]

  • Puyehue-Cordón Caulle corked: a small-scale case-study of media sensationalism

    Updated: 2011-06-24 10:04:13
    Even by the standards of sensationalized volcano stories in the mainstream media the headline in the Sydney Morning Herald and some other news sources today is pretty silly: ‘Red alert as “cork” plugs volcano’. This headline does what such headlines so often do: create a false sense of an urgent, dangerous situation by misrepresenting the [...]

  • Nabro eruption: new bulletin from the Eritrean Government

  • A note on comments

    Updated: 2011-06-24 08:02:08
    A small number of highly partisan and very un-volcanological posts have been left here in response to the Nabro eruption: Eritrean politics is clearly a very divisive business. Most of these comments were automatically held for moderation and did not make it through in the end — this affected arguments from both pro- and anti-government [...]

  • The Daily Volcano Quote: the power of Etna’s lava

    Updated: 2011-06-23 11:19:21
    Among the many eruptions of this volcano, the one in the year 1669, deserves to be recorded. In that year the summit was observed to send forth great quantities of smoke and flame; the top had fallen in, so that the mountain was much lowered; the islands of Vulcan and Stromboli, two volcanoes to the [...]

  • Nabro eruption: Eritrean opposition appeals for international assistance

    Updated: 2011-06-23 09:01:21

  • The Daily Volcano Quote: uses of a lava flow

    Updated: 2011-06-22 19:47:23
    The large crater of San Salvador volcano contained a crater lake in the early 20th century. However, in June 1917, the lake boiled away in the same week that an earthquake did considerable damage to cities on all sides of the volcano, and lava began to flow from the volcano’s north side … The lava [...]
