Krakatoa Volcano (Indonesia): Violent Eruption, Ash To 47,000 Ft Altitude (Breaking News)
Volcano Discovery ^ | 4-10-2020

Posted on 04/10/2020 4:12:15 PM PDT by blam

A large magmatic eruption is taking place at the volcano right now. Based on satellite imagery, VAAC Darwin spotted a high-level ash and SO2 plume reaching 47,000 ft (15 km) altitude moving WNW.

A strong thermal hot spot is detected as well. Both the webcam on Anak Krakatau Island and from the coast (in 40 km distance) show strong lava fountaining from the volcano.

This seems to be the strongest eruptive phase since the violent phreatomagmatic activity following the partial collapse of the volcano on 22 Dec 2018, which had triggered a deadly tsunami that killed hundreds of people on Java's west coast.

It's a remake of the movie Krakatoa, East of Java, a 1969 American disaster film starring Maximilian Schell and Brian Keith..

The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Special Visual Effects.. During the 1970s, the film was re-released under the title "Volcano."

I took a look at the Nat. Geo photos from Iceland. Imagine that energy and all of that silica dust confined within a vortex of super heated volcanic gases and continuos lightning bursts? Once it reached a few thousand degrees Fahrenheit, the whole thing would ignite into plasma and become a self sustaining vortex. It would scour the earth and deposit gargantuan amounts of material many miles away, like a cosmic conveyor belt.

No, because all the sulfur clouds high in the atmosphere will make it cooler.

Then the warmists can say, “See! Lessening mans activity over coronavirus has STOPPED global warming!”

Lyell's Principles of Geology would be an entirely different book if he had a drone.

Volcanism increases during solar minimums as an historical fact. And we’re in one now. I saw an explanation that more extra-solar cosmic radiation gets through when the sun isn’t providing as much interference and that some of it penetrates deeply enough to produce the effect. I didn’t understand the details enough to explain further, but historically there IS a correlation, unlike the greenie delusions.

Imagine what he could have done with a drone.

Satellite phots would have really sent him over the top.

The exo-geologists really add a lot to plasma theory. They are observing it on Jupiter.

Put that fire devil over a lightning filled volcanic dust cloud . Imagine what would happen.

We would have a natural particle accelerator spewing ejecta and plasma out the other end.The business end would scour the earth around the volcano like a cosmic vacuum cleaner with a gargantuan arc welder inside.

Have you ever watched the old movie?

It is terrifying.

Many people took shelter in a church which was obliterated
by the tsunami.
