Exposing Madeira's Volcanic Past

Madeira is one of many oceanic hot spots around the world, yet this island exposes some of its volcanic features in a spectacular way. In this episode we take you on a tour of the island to see a variety of pyroclastic flows and lava flows.

Note: Some of the colorful banding seen below some the lava flows could be paleosols, soils that have been baked by new flows on top.
Erratum: A location given as Porto Muñoz is actually Achadas da Cruz.

i just came across your channel. by your content and production alone, I am surprised you dont have thousands of subscribers. I LOVED your sand crab episode. Thank you for being very informative and you have a great narrative voice!

Very interesting!

Thank you so much for this, unfortunately just found this video on my last day in Madeira. The Geology of this island is amazing, so much in front of you everywhere you look.

I am there on holiday at the moment, I will look out for some of the places you show on the video. Thanks.

thank you for the video, I was wondering why this volcano was located where it was but I guess that hasn't been decided on completely. this area has some of the coolest geologic features I've ever seen thank you!

[@funnyperson4027]

were later volcanic eruptions more explosive due to late stage magma differentiation?

[@aberdeenkiko]

That was a good geology and volcanology themed video.
With just two flaws: there was no argumentative conclusion of the compilation of the stuff showed and explained in the video. Plus, the tittle is quite misleading; since the Madeira Arquipelagoo is far from being done, with its own volcanic activity. With some geologists saying, that at least one of the already existing volcanos from Madeira, is bound to wake up, sometime in less than another 40 years.
And depending on which volcano that might be... There may be the need to fully evacuate the Madeira Archipelago; due to its probable explosive nature.

I am kinda scared because we're literally moving there within 2 years (probably). And pretty much where there was a lot of volcanic activity (Sao Vicente Valley)

[@aberdeenkiko]

@@ilyaIvanov_personal You can go there. Just try not to over-invest all the extra eggs still from yo economies basket.
Plus, keep an eye for an alternative destination, to maybe one day: resettle towards there.
And to resume:
There will be just 2 pets maximum, in yo'house; with the exception of maybe, of a spacy water-ball, with some gold-fish swimming within-it.

@@aberdeenkiko We like that Madeira is very close to mainland Europe, with a relatively big Funchal city. But still has quiet villages like Sao Vicente surrounded with incredible nature, it’s a perfect place for us. We’ve been to every town on Madeira and the only other place that comes close is Porto da Cruz, but still not as good (for us). We only have one pet, so we’re good. As I said the only concern is the volcanic activity, but it’s still the quietest / least active island of Macaronesia.
