Don Swanson is always the go-to guy for accurate Kilauea volcano info. Even after retirement. The guys a wealth of knowledge. Got to talk with him often while out at the lava flows for many years before his retirement. Halemaumau Lake.
I remember Don in an interview during the 1980 St. Helen's eruption. I got a chance to meet him. Really fun guy to chat with and an enormous wealth of knowledge.
Well I live on Oahu but I went to Hawaii island when it was happening. It was bad for the people that moved but beside that I thought how slow it was moving made it look like a harmless lava flow like the others recent ones. At that time I did not now it was heading toward to the Hilo side
My favorite volcano is Mt. Paektu located in my country. It’s a supervolcano that’s the number one tourist attraction in North Korea. It’s predicted to erupt soon
Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world, a full mile taller than Everest and its a volcano, Kilauea and Mauna Loa are side vents. That is so cool.
You ever see a pressure cooker opened while it was under pressure? Kileaua and Krakatau are different volcano types, but thats the illustration of 'explosion' I'm going with here. Water won't become a gas if it is under sufficient pressure. Water remaining liquid is incompressible, remains hot end energetic, and that pressure exerts a hydraulic action across overlying rock substrate that lifts the outer circumferential gradations of structure and fractures them. While at the same time the aquifer becomes acidic. Once there is sufficient fissuring in the rock substrate to create a path to the surface, whether by following a lava tube or taking new paths, underground water is able to become steam and it expands violently on release. The expansion is cataclysmic, overlying rock table and underlying magma chamber content is drafted along with the 'outgassing' of the water. Its shockwave can blow a large overburden of the surface geography into smithereenies. These hurricane blasts are the loudest sounds ever heard on Earth. I'm guessing the water shown here is not deep enough to be trapped under an overlying rock strata.
They need to use a drone. The risk is just to high to send anyone directly over that pond. I'm afraid it's going to be very acidic and the ground is probably unstable still. IDK, I'm not an expert.
just me it’s solid rock there, so that wouldn’t be an issue as long as you’re not touching g it with bear skin, as it’s super sharp rock. As for the water, you have a point there. It may be more sulfuric than regular.
The difficulty with sending a drone is the same as if they sent a helicopter into the caldera: wind currents/updrafts. Think of a boiling pot of water, that's basically what the air currents in the caldera are doing, so it would be very turbulent to fly in. A heli up above the caldera with a long rope and bucket may actually be safer/more stable than trying to fly a drone down in. They won't land a heli in there and get out to manually take a sample, if that was what you were thinking.
Maybe the ground sunk and it's gonna form a giant spa :D Or it's turned itself into a huge cannon getting ready to blast the atmosphere with its deadly excretions.
It wouldn't be a good idea if it was a spa. Water near volcanoes can get extremely hot. If you see the color of the water it's a similar color to Yellowstone nation parks water. Not a good thing to swim in
"Big explosion, probably not" Famous last words. "Don't worry folks, those chains are made of chrome steel" (King Kong)...."I'm gonna draw him into the shallows, I'm gonna draw him in and drown him" (Jaws) 😄😄 Move out folks.
Yeeeaaahh, Don Swanson is the man!! An excellent report on the doings of our favorite volcano. We are all excited to see what Tutu Pele will do next! Mahalo nui WIRED and Dr. Swanson!
When you're watching this video in Auckland New Zealand, and you forgot that the entire city is sitting on hundreds of dormant volcanoes that could wake up at any time, threatening the 1M people who live there and constitute a quarter of the county's population.
Lava drained out, then it rained. It's a rock crater. Rain doesn't drain into rock, just evaporate. Hawaii rains pretty much every day hence the slow and steady increase.
I would think. A grappling gun style water collector would be a cheaper way to go. Instead of a hook. You could put a device where you could remotely open up and let water in and close after it's been collected. Then bring it in with a towing device. I would think that would be a good idea
Did anyone else get confused by the image of the video? I mean before you click the video there is an image in representation and it seems as if there is an upside down mountain on the top of the image and a ground floor on the buttom of the image.
Lol people who move next to an explosive planetary force and complain about it possibly exploding and destroying their homes is hilariously the biggest "I told You so" us in mainland US laugh about. 😂😂😂
09:12 to 09:17 shows Whakaari/White Island in NZ while Mr Swanson comments on observing the impact of water upon volcanic eruptions. Answer obliged three months later on 09 Dec 19 (th-cam.com/video/FbEVp4j92YM/w-d-xo.html).
Age the water ? Based on sediments ans chemical,make up.like alot of dolomite or alot of sandstone or whatever.alot of Lava?? Or whatever type. .then,look at the bed rock and it has been mapped soxu,can see how.old it is .,is that,how its done?? Id truly Love to know.how.,i,have an,epmphasis in,Natural,Resource Ma agemnt. And am,trul,y,interested i n the how!
what does water in a volcano crater mean? well im gonna take a wild guess here and say it means the volcano has gone dormant, if water is pooling in the crater and isnt boiling away into steam, it means the ground is cool enough for the water to pool rather than evaporate
You really gotta be passionate about your job, when you still do it after retirement!
Forced retirement.
Maybe it wasn't a job, maybe he did it because he loved it, and you know the how the old saying goes don't ya...
We should all be so lucky
Or there is no one qualified enough to truly replace him.

Thank you for the context. He seems like an amazing scientist.
I have a Feeling that even though he is a scientist on volcanoes he also knows a lot on woodworking and local government
Lol
Wood working and love making. Also new hobby volcano research
Probably loves breakfast too
Does he play an instrument and have an alter ego?
Nestlé is already on its way to buy the water

like 10 years late on that.
Don't you mean "take" the water ?
Nestle fks us over and charges us for it
Nestle pays a $100 a year license to pump millions of gallons daily until your local springs and creeks run dry.

I live in Hawaii and it was a beautiful sight to watch all this
Which island and which part? No one local to the Hilo side of the Big Island has spoken fondly of the eruption.

That is so cool.
Michael Clark yeah but the mountain is in a lower place than mt Everest. Everest Isn’t really the tallest mountain its the highest peak in earth
I imagine that the water in the caldera is saturated with sulphur. I'm so excited to see where this leads in the future.
Water: it really _is_ free real estate! 🌋
Should give a nice full glass to all investors of nestle etc
It's only a problem because people started building houses in the area.

More than anything the water is probably just chock full of methane.

Mahalo Don Swanson. Lets try to keep Volcano community safe, as always.
Hualani sorry the what community
Sounds like what my water heater did to our garage last year
Bath water is boring, buy volcano water!
Wow, what a great job to do in retirement
I’m envious ❤️

I think Stitch put the water there, he's always up to no good
Avery the Cuban-American I see you everywhere
The forbidden volcano water
There's something weird about how that lava fountain looks. It almost looks like it's CG, but I can't quite put my finger on why.
Like an old 50's movie... its the physics of the lava, we associate with "smaller" outbursts of similar "fluid" substances Idk XD.
When you're watching this video in Auckland New Zealand, and you forgot that the entire city is sitting on hundreds of dormant volcanoes that could wake up at any time, threatening the 1M people who live there and constitute a quarter of the county's population.
Yeah, the could wake just like Yellowstone could blow tomorrow...
Sulfuric Acid pool?
Hard to believe there was a lava lake last year to a water lake now.
Not really that hard to believe
Crater Volcano is below sea level and it is an island... Not that hard bro....
that looks like acid instead of water
I was about to ask, Please use a drone not only can you be more precise, imagine the footage.
GabrielKnightz good they’ll probably see your comment and change since you said that
Especially Now! that none other than bryn mcdougald has backed me up on it. Thanks brynny couldn't have done it without you.
you know what? in my country we have a lots of that water in most volcanoes, and it is called "belerang" or sulfur. your welcome
Lava drained out, then it rained. It's a rock crater. Rain doesn't drain into rock, just evaporate. Hawaii rains pretty much every day hence the slow and steady increase.

Probably sulfuric acid more than water
People be like: Hmm... This volcano is very active...
Let's live near it!
Is it just me or does this look and sound like Mr. Beast?
It rained?
Why do people live in Hawaii and Key West Florida? Just why? Why?
Makes me wonder why people live in the Midwest US where there’s a water shortage.
Why do people live anywhere? Do you feel there's an area immune to natural phenomenon? That'd you want to live in?
great video but the interviewer is very stiff.
Well they 5 million subscribers i think the formula is working wouldnt you say?
I'm sure he's glad you noticed ma'am😊!
Very unprofessional having a stiffy during interview
I have read a lot of the comments and I don't understand all the jokes and sarcasm.
Ditto.
Currently Erupting, lmao
there is a lot of steam... and nobody talks about it
8:04 imagine just driving on the road and then suddenly the ground start caving in and the car falls inside of the volcano and boom you dead
That would suck
Is it just me or does he look like he's wearing a Star Trek uniform!!! X)

Rain water or not. It looks like a nice hot spring in couple of years.
Big explosive volcanoes: Pinatubo
Great interview. Thank you gentlemen. Peace and Love.
why not just use a drone to get the water sample. I could do it in under 10 minutes...really.
Yeah ..
Why not though
If it were rain water, wouldn't it have already evaporated?
Pick up a sample with the drone.
It mean it been rainin
Kilauea sinking maybe?
Genesis 7:11 never happened because it's in the Bible
Is that water for sure, looks like lemonade - with some bad stuff in it, sugar?
More like sulfur

I don't know why but I always find stuff about Volcanos fascinating .
Let's. The amount of funds and planning needed to get a water sample via helicopter $$$$$$$. The amount of planning and funds needed via drone. $50.
instead of using a human-operated helicopter to collect the water, why not use a drone? Much cheaper, safer, and totally possible.
They should use the water as a sign that the volcano is about to erupt again

And let's just ignore Mauna Loa, the largest volcano on the island and it's increasing activity and how that may be tied to Kilauea's activity.
No ones ignoring it. HVO reports on it often.
How bout Mauna Kea? They tryna build a thirty meter telescope and everyone is pissed off about it
They've been saying for years that Mauna Loa is going to erupt again, they just don't know when. So they are not ignoring it at all.
