Piton de la Fournaise Volcano Update; Seismic Crisis, Eruption Likely within 2 Weeks
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- A seismic crisis just began on the French island of Reunion. With a population of more than 850,000, this island might see a new volcanic eruption in the short to mid term future. Piton de la Fournaise's magma chamber is currently highly pressurized, mostly filled with magma, and is predisposed to produce a new eruption at the volcano's summit, perhaps on its eastern flank. While such a new eruption is not guaranteed, it likely would be primarily effusive although it might have some strombolian components to it.

People reading "An eruption is likely in France" are going to assume mainland france...not an island territory. Most mainland french volcanoes hand not erupted for several thousand years so it sounds interesting until you find out its on Reunion.
Except not a territory more like Alaska or Hawaii actually
Geographical it’s not in France. Just like Aruba is not in The Netherlands. It belongs to France.
@@jannetteberends8730 it is france not belong too it is france they operate as if they were all together in one location stop being a bunch of idiot who don't understand geopolitics and how the world works thank you
@@jannetteberends8730 We're french and we live in France. We don't belong to France.
It's like when people say France has Europe's largest rainforest.
"well technically..."
I guess that is france , but i thought we were talking about mainland Europe from the thumbnail
Well funnily enough, it IS part of the EU since it's France main territories, has well has French Guyana and the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique in the Caribbeans, they use Euro and are technically EU land.
France has territory on 6 different continents.
@@jeyycie3656 - Yes it features in all euro notes, along with other famous EU countries like Britain, Switzerland, Norway or Russia. It's the most biased map I've ever seen but it's "official" for the BCE.
@@LuisAldamiz Norway is still EEA, not quite EU. Hugely significant for status.
@@1234j - Meh, and Turkish Thrace but not Turkish Anatolia? Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, etc.?
Nah, they imagined a map of Europe-continent (not quite to the Urals but almost) and then were forced to add lots of overseas territories that are legally part of France, Spain and Portugal (and thus also of the EU). The combo is utterly stupid.
It should only include the countries of the Eurozone, i.e. for example not Denmark nor Sweden, which have exceptions or not Poland or Hungary, which are not excepted but have unilaterally excepted themselves and enjoy unfair competitive advantages as result.
I first heard of Piton de la Fournaise in a video of the world's top 10 most active volcanoes. The lava flows shown in the video had colds spots that looked like human hands and fingers! Setting that aside, a flank eruption would be alarming.
YT video title might be a bit confusing to those who don't know Piton de la Fournaise is somewhere in the Indian Ocean and nowhere near France :) ... "Vive La Fournaise!" 🌋🌋🌋
My first thought was … wait, there is an active volcano in France?!? … then you showed the map … oh, I see 😁
France is all over the place *looking at you St-Pierre et Miquelon territory 😳*
There's also an active volcano in metropolitan France, the Chaine des Puys complex near Clermont-Ferrand.
The name gave the indication.
@@jessikamiranda2306 Well not active but dormant it could decide to become active and erupt tomorrow or it could happen in 1000 years we don't know.
Very interesting the fact that this hotspot has produced a mass extinction in the past! Great video!!
@0 V 0 Official This is why geology is used.
@0 V 0 Official no one was there genius! But i have a little of knowledge of geology, if you don't then must be shut up 🤗
@Jorge. One small correction to your comment is that Geology Hub said that Piton de la Fornaise is associated with the same hot spot that erupted at the SAME TIME as the nonavian dinosaur extinction creating the large flood basalt in that area. The nonavian extinction was death the death blow by the meteor that struck the Yucatan Peninsula creating the so called Chuxilub crater. So it was coincident with the meteor strike but not a major cause in the extinction if it played any role at all.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Afaik the current reigning theory is that it was the combination of the impact event and the flood basalts that caused the extinction. Of note is that this is the only mass extinction that has an impact event associated with it, while ALL FIVE of the mass extinctions in the geologic record have a flood basalt associated with them.
Based on the exact timings, it seems likely that the impact event was the pivotal moment, and that the Deccan traps actually had their most intense period AFTER dinosaurs went extinct (although this is obviously very hard to determine with sufficient precision), but in general, flood basalts seem to be far better at causing (mass) extinctions than impact events.
(on a pedantic side note, the crater is called the Chicxulub crater)
Good point.
Never knew that Reunion was the same hotspot responsible for the Deccan traps. thank you!
We visited Piton de la Fournaise around four years ago. It is a gentle giant; and you can drive all the way up to the caldera rim. Like Sicilians living on the slopes of Etna, the residents are accustomed to their giant volcano: and - indeed - it draws visitors from all around the World. The rest of La Reunion island is absolutely stunning, too.
The hotspot hasn't so much tracked to the southeast, more that India has tracked northwest moving over the hotspot at some point. Hotspots don't generally wander about, plates do.
Yes and no there is some evidence to suggest that at least some hotspots do in fact migrate at rates comparable to the moments of tectonic plates. One good example for such a hotspot is Iceland because the hotspot lies along the Mid Atlantic ridge if it were not moving you would expect it to stay in the same place however instead there is a notable progression in the rate of volcanism along the region with activity declining to the north with major exception to along the Mid Atlantic eruption where volcanism shifts to more chemically evolved magma bodies. On the other hand the Mid Atlantic ridge to the south has a trend where there is an advancing zone of higher frequency and more voluminous eruptions along the ridge as can be seen in the case of the very geologically recent formation of Heimaey which as Geology Hub showed in a video some years back cone activity has been showing a clear inspiraling concentration of monogenic vents. Also active volcanoes further away from the ridge system are more or less only found close to the current latitude of the hot spot proper and we can see thanks o the rock records that Iceland was once much further north having been responsible for the rifting of Greenland from Ireland Britain and Norway some 58 to 56 Ma.
Many hotspots tracks like the Galapagos also require the movement of both tectonic plates and the hot spots themselves.
This is looking less and less surprising since evidence seems to be showing most deep mantle plume hotspots correspond with Low Sheer Velocity Provinces which like continents float in the upper mantle float on/in the Earth's outer core at the core mantle boundary.
In essence the hot spots move with their LSVP's the bulk of hotspots coming from two dominant Large Low Sheer Velocity Provinces centered beneath Africa and the Pacific.
It seems likely that most perhaps all of the LLSVP material is the result of subducted slabs since some of the smaller zones with long histories of subduction back to the age of Pangaea show subducted slab walls which are contiguous with these regions and appear to generally correspond to what was the coast of Pangaea during the Triassic. Here there is evidence to suggest these LLSVP's get hotter and denser with time suggesting that they are indeed melting slab walls which are slowly melting and or mixing with the Earth's liquid outer core.
Given the measured rate of slab sinking in the mantle it appears likely that it takes around 230 million years for a slab to sink all the way to the core mantle boundary plus however much time is needed to undergo a transition via remineralization at the Mantle Transition Zone which happens to give a preliminary estimate of time which is about one Wilson cycle long.
Given how well these many of these core mantle boundary elements seem to align with what we know about Pangaea It seems like we may finally be on the verge of being able to explain the periodicity of this cycle.
@@Dragrath1 Thats why i was a bit general. Geology always throws up exceptions though probably not in the case of India which has been moving north since the breakup of Gondwana.
Reunion hotspot is a no joke.
@@tripplefives1402 Yes and no again its easy to overgeneralize in geology since the Earth system appears to be way more complex than our simplistic models.
Notably there is a variation in the origin and nature of hotspots both in terms of temperature and composition with different though related formation mechanisms for each and a grey blurry boundary for overlap between the two as some aren't either or but rather "both".
The conventional hotspots are the predominately/purely thermal ones with Hawaii being the case example these have the highest temperatures and seem to be most closely linked to LLSVPs. On the other hand some hot spots have lower temperatures and carry extra compositional differences the most extreme case being the one responsible for Mt. Paektu this hot spot derives its buoyancy pretty much entirely due to the accumulation/over saturation of water and sediment derived volatiles from the subducted but stagnant pacific slab which currently is stuck at the Mantle Transition Zone.
Presumably the distinctions come from the increasing pressures and temperatures experienced by gradual sinking of these slabs forcing out progressively more volatiles and sediment derived impurities from the slab as it recrystallizes with depth.
I have to note that the timings also seem to line up quite well with at least Earth's more recent Mesozoic and younger Volcanic pipe eruptions so I wouldn't be surprised to learn there is a connection the limit of course is that there is/was a carbonate reef gap after the great dying before new carbonate reef builders the Rudist clams appeared in the late Jurassic and lasted until their abrupt extinction at the KPg boundary(modern coral reefs then evolved to fill the niche in the Cenozoic)
Hotspot don't migrate, but they could be carried by a swallow
Thanks for the heads-up, Geology hub. I will keep tabs on this volcano .
My 1st thought was: Mon Dieu, un volcan on France? But then Ah oui. Sur L'isle de Reunion.
Very interesting and informative as always. I am anxious to see anything regarding the Andorra region. Thanks for your information and I'm glad that I subscribed. Take Care!
Things are already erupting in France, so sounds about right 😊
French legislation rated on the VEI scale. Media noise, people grumbling, VEI 0-1. Caused minor demonstrations, VEI 2-3. Caused the French Revolution again, VEI 8.
Oh this is interesting! Thank you for keeping us up to date. ❤
Thank you new subscriber love your videos😊
Based on the title in the thumbnail I thought the volcano was actually in France (not a French territory). That would've been a heck of a lead story everywhere.
My thoughts exactly. Once I realized it was not mainland France I lost Interest
Just to be clear - distance from island of Reunion to Paris is over 5,800 miles!
As a french, I would say 9400 km :)
@@nalinux It's an overnight flight from Charles de Gaulle to St Denis, and 3 hours ahead of Paris. As a vulcanologist science uses the metric system not miles.
@@Volcano-Man Nobody use miles ! :)
I know how far a mile is and I have a pretty good feel for how fast is 25 mph.
I still might have to double check on how many cups to a gallon or fluid ounces in a pint though.
Well, Hawaii is 2000 miles from mainland USA, not quite as extreme but still respectable.
Great update!
This looks like a great volcano to watch erupt. Some of the images reminded me of icelands fagradsjalabcdefg however it’s spelt
Love your work.
Learn so much from these. Thanks.
'Seismic crisis' seems like recent terminology. I will try that on my boss, as a reason why I'm not in the office today. People hear the word 'crisis' and fail to register the adjective that goes with it. Great reporting, HubMaster.
This volcano produces some very beautiful eruptions.
I must send this to Doc. Thank you
Thanks for the title of the Picture: In France. I never thought that Reunion was near Germany, but I learned from Onion News that USA thought that Andorra was not in Africa. Anyway, good luck with your project.
Interesting discussion.
Thank you 💐
I love your videos and follow your content a lot, here directly from Brazil. Could you talk a little about the Sollipulli volcano and its beautiful caldera? I wanted to know a little about this volcano.
2:47 what a great detailed diagram!
Thanks.
I just love your videos. You are concise and clear. But, you are also incredibly informative. I always feel like I leave your videos with a comprehensive grasp of the given situation. Thank you for all your hard work. It is a privilege to watch videos that provide accurate assessments in such an accessible format.
@wolfco47 🎯Well said! I find his videos to be comprehensive but concise, he’s easy to listen to and makes the information accessible and digestible. He’s an absolute star!
I love your channel. Very interesting for people like me that have interest but no formation on the topic... I have a question, are you aware of more volcanic activity in recent years?
Interesting to learn of other hotspot systems like Hawai'i!
Thanks for another informative video. Is there any chance you could do a video on extinct volcanoes of the world or point me to a video if you already have?
Guau... muchisimas gracias, thank you !
So, this is not in France. It is on an island in the Indian ocean that France owns.
It is in France actually. I live there so I can tell. We are a department of france as much as any other department of france ;)
Except... we live near a very interesting volcano 🤣
We don't call Alaskan/Hawaiian volcanoes American eruptions, we call them based off the state.
WAR IS A RACKET by Major General US Marine Snedly B Butler @Great Audio Books/ Answers ALL questions
It's in French territory, but the video didn't establish up front that it's near Madagascar. That would be like talking about the Big Ben volcano being in Australia without mentioning that it's on an island in the southern ocean.
...so it's in France.
Merci beaucoup ! As always great content ! Nice to hear from our volcano. I live in la réunion island, and I hope we will have a pretty eruption visible from the limit of the exclusion zone. Let me know if you come over geology hub !😉
great again
Great video! I find Piton De La Fournaise to be a fascinating volcano because of the way it was created. If Mauna Kea were to erupt again in the future, what do you think the worse case scenario might be and why? Here is what I think will happen: The snow and ice on top will melt from the heat of magma beneath the mountain creating mud flows, lahars, debris flows, etc. The only problem is we won't know which direction(s) they will flow in, but it is possible that it will all go downhill in various directions.
Mass evacuations may be possible at some point after the eruption starts, but only if things get really bad. Since Mauna Kea is a large shield volcano like the one in this video, it may be possible that Mauna Kea could have both lava and ash since the last eruption was around 2400 BCE give or take 100+ years. The threat for an eruption is moderate, but I don't think an eruption will be any time in the near future. I thought I would ask for your opinion since you showed us a data table with volcano information on it.
You are wrong if its covered in snow, it will go boom in a huge hydrothermal explosion, lave gets really excited when it comes into contact with water...
With Mauna Kea in my backyard, I tend to believe that you’re both wrong and I’ll explain why.
Mauna Kea doesn’t keep snow and ice for very long. Sure we have blinding blizzards up there sometimes during winter storms up on the summits but a week or two later, all that snow and ice is gone. The timing would need to be absolutely perfect…
I think our biggest fear is the south point of the Big Island of Hawai’i sliding into the Pacific Ocean that would create massive tsunamis for all the Hawaiian Islands in general.
Either way, it’s too hard to predict what can or will happen here in Hawaii because this has been going on for millions of years to be honest…
@@digitaldreamer5481 My step-mother and her family own a farm at the base of the mountain. I am pretty sure that there will be tsunamis in Hawaii and on the West coast of the U.S. including Canada and Alaska when Mauna Kea erupts. With the gaping hole at the top, it is sure to collapse at some point in time. I hope that it will not erupt anytime soon or in the near future, but if it does, please do not be stupid and stay behind so people can steal from their neighbors. Stay safe!
@@digitaldreamer5481 Yea, I live in Honomu, small town on the eastern side of MK. There's still snow up on the summit since we got a lot up there this winter. It's beautiful. But in terms of eruption, first, nah. Not gonna happen. Hasnt' for 4,700 years. Highly unlikely. Second, as you said, snow on the summit is seasonal. And even if there was an eruption in winter the amount of melt from snow on the summit wouldn't be catastrophic. We'd me much more worried about a lava flow barreling down its flanks. As it is, we're in one of the safest places on the island as far as eruptions go.
@@stonew1927 A big Mahalo to you for such a great reply. Many people don’t believe that Hawaii actually gets snow and icy conditions in the winter time but we really do. Some winters, we have snow in all 50 states including Hawaii. I have never heard of Hawaii ever experience lahars but we sure do get some amazing lava flows from the top of the summits like we had last year.
I do EmComm communications for the Hawaii State Civil Defense but usually for tsunamis and hurricanes only mostly. Volcanic eruptions on the Big Island of Hawai’i is usually handled locally by the DEM and not by state per se.
For the most part, folks here treat each other like extended family or Ohana. That is what I ❤️ about living here in Hawaii. That just adds to the spirit of Hawaii to me. Neighbors really look out for each other in ways that can be hard to explain in the 21st century today. You need gasoline, batteries, a flashlight, food, water and etc., folks will offer it up even if it is there last, with good karma being the overall goal being more important than life itself. At times, this kind of treatment will bring tears to one’s eyes. I just can’t see myself or my family living anywhere else for these reasons. It’s easier to solve problems if you don’t have to go at it alone.
Again, thank you very much for your reply, it warms the hearts of everyone. 🤙🏻
I would appreciate knowing more about the volcanoes that occurred in British Columbia, Canada. The history of its 18 volcanoes would be cool to see and some of the speculation about future activity. Cheers!
A start perhaps ? th-cam.com/video/nWS9XzW4BHs/w-d-xo.html
Are there any estimates or drawings of the original shape and height of Mt. Paektu between North Korea and China? There was an eruption in 946, I think, that created the current caldera lake Heaven's lake but little information available for its history. I've been trying to track down a best-guess recreation of what the mountain looked like before that eruption. I know you did a video on Mt. Paektu but I don't remember but one image of before. Is there any resources you could point me to? It's for a novel I'm working on.
Do one on the Red Rocks of Colorado if you could. Or post a link if you have already.
Good.
Our Mother Earth is speaking to us, time to listen. So happy there are places like this channel who follow the activity. Great work, thank you.
i live on this volcano and its very beautiful
Not gonna lie, the clickbaity thumbnail made me double take, but when i saw the title it all made sense. That aside, Piton de la Fournaise is quite the energetic volcano. Just consistently putting out eruptions once or twice a year to two years. I'm quite impressed with how active it has stayed compared to the poster child of oceanic hot spot based shields, aka Hawaii, now that both Kilauea and Mauna Loa are not erupting again.
Can you please make an episode describing the large volcano on the island of Alfred Faure? on a similar longitude to the island in this video, but in the Southern Ocean. The north east volcano seems to have endured several flank eruptions, carving out a natural harbour several kilometers wide. It looks truly spectacular from Google Earth.
The nice thing about expected eruptions in the modern era is that we are guaranteed that somebody will have set up cameras to capture the event when it occurs. Rewind to 1980, though, and even though they could easily have set up a CCT camera or a series of hair-triggered film cameras (these things had existed for many years by then), the only reason we have _anything_ approaching footage of Mt. Saint Helens' reuption-the biggest landslide in recorded history-is the lucky happenstance of a camper with a roll of photograph film. The lack of foresight will forever baffle me.
Miscellaneous question: Do you think the 2021 eruption of Cumbre Vieja is a good "template" to study the effects of a future eruption at Hualalai?
It would be nice if you said right at the beginning where this is. I thought it might be in the Caribbean.
GREAT JOB - YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE BUSY REPORTING SOON
If this is the same hotspot that made the Deccan Traps, I'm wondering how much of its activity back then was directly caused by the Chicxulub impact. The two locations are close to opposing sides of the planet and much of the impact energy may have been directed there through the mantle.
So is the hot spot moving as well as the plates above it?
No evidence to support the hypothesis you suggest, the plate is moving northwards, and about 65000000 years ago poured out the Deccan Traps in India. India has moved northwards and the collision is ongoing building the Himalayas. It was also responsible for the 2004 earthquake.
Was hoping for central Paris tbh, except for Cachon.
Does "Seismic Crisis" just mean "earthquake swarm"? Seems to be over-hyped.
Piton de le Fournaise has much in common with the Hawaiian volcanoes. Some hotspot shield volcano phenomenon, different part of the world.
This volcano appears to be in a hurry to fill in its old collapse scar.
'Seismic crisis's sounds like a very vague and exaggerated term. I would use a term like that for a magnitude 6 or greater earthquake. What exactly do you mean by it?
France here. Reunion is Reunion btw not France lol. Thank you for the updates I have friends down there 🙏
Even the volcanos are gonna protest
Except La Réunion is not in France, but is a French Oversea Territory, subject to French Law etc.
Oh no
Just a thought - when talking about volcanos that erupt frequently, use "last erupted on..." instead of "hasn't erupted since...".
Why?
@@Volcano-Man Just a suggestion to add clarity. When you say "hasn't erupted since..." it implies the last eruption was a long time ago.
13 days ago, so has it happened yet?
Active and very impressive volcano for certain, but somehow seems like a downgrade from a volcano that once played no small role in the extinction of the dinosaurs. What triggered that extreme change?Or is that one of the many mysteries still up for exploration?
Plus the hotspot hasn’t seemed to move terribly far considering 65 million years since then, in comparison to Hawaii’s crossing much of the Pacific in much less time. Is that just because plates are moving slower over there than the Pacific Plate?
66 million years ago, the Chicxulub impact site was approximately antipodal to the Reunion hotspot. As such, it is hypothesized that the impact may have triggered the huge burst of activity that created the Deccan Traps. What the impact didn't directly kill, the Deccan Traps and the global winter did. What we see now, millions of years later, is the hotspot's relatively normal level of activity. Which like the Hawaiian hotspot, has left a chain of islands and other features across the Indian Ocean. And yes, different plates do move at different speeds.
@@nortyfiner so the Chicxulub impact could have created the hotspot? Or just supercharged an existing one that just so happened to be near that area? 🤔 would be an interesting origin for hotspots, might explain why some are more powerful than others too. Wonder if any other hotspots line up with an impact on the other side of the planet? Probably hard to tell
Wait if the hotspot has been trending South west from India why is the newer volcano on the east side of the island?
It's India which has been actually sliding northwards very fast (for geological time scales). The hotspot is probably almost where it was when the Deccan Traps caused a mass extinction. Africa and Madagascar (two different continents in terms of plate tectonics) have not been moving much at all in comparison with every other continent, really. That surely applies also to Reunion even if it is a younger landmass.
@@LuisAldamizLet me rephrase lazerman121's question. Why does a line, drawn from Piton de la Fournaise through Piton des Nieges, not point anywhere near north towards India?
@@RSimpkinuk57 Tectonic Plates are so inconvenient in the way that they refuse to consistently travel in straight lines.
@@RSimpkinuk57 - Because India was in the past where Reunion is now but has migrated since those days. Shiva moved on from volcanic chaos to rising up the tallest mountains and plateaus in the North. In the meantime he run with all the Indian plate on his back to the north, leaving only Reunion as reminder of their ancient abode.
"... nor does lightning travels in straight lines" (Mandelbrot).
Hmmm started in the last eclipse and now may erupt during the next eclipse. Gonna say although I haven’t heard of this volcano till now. Im not surprised im sure more will wake up.
If you've never heard of it it's your fault, Piton de la Fournaise erupts every few months.
Please feel free to slap me around.... But weeeell axechewallee,
The hotspot stayed more or less in the same place, the sea floor and the Indian subcontinent did a sixty million year sprint north northeast into the rest of Asia
When I was there the ground were moving all the Time
Getting closer!! Edinburgh castle better watch out!! Berwick Law too, theyre gonna blow boy theyre gonna blow!!!!!!....
So NOW !!!! ????
How do they date lava flows?
Each lava flow comes out like a stick of rock but has the date it erupted implanted in the isotopes. We use radiometric dating and by that calculate the time of the first and last crystals forming. The first crystals form before the eruption and the last form after. They give a time span of several years shown as year +/- e.g., 15 years. More recent eruptions are recorded in the historical archives.
The thumbnail Is deceptive... The only volcano in French territory is in the Reunion Islands..
France has 11 active Volcano in his territory, and a few more dormant ones. Maybe geography is not your forte, but at least you could search a little to find out you are wrong and not make some stupid post
It won't threaten Paris though.
Is there any chance that that many people could be evacuated?!
It is more likely that a major evacuation would not become necessary. The volcano is somewhat remote on the island and in a worse case scenario people could simply move to another part of the island until the volcano settles down.
No.
Just saw a programme on the decline of Cleopatras reign due to low water levels in the Nile apparently caused by a volcanic eruption in 44bc in Nicaragua but can't remember the name of volcano thought to be the cause of the dust plume.
Now THAT sounds like a real stretch, a tall tale of significant proportions. That why she started sleeping with Romans?
Try volcanoes in the Mediterranean. Santirini is postulated to have been the cause of some of the biblical plagues, and the withdrawal of water in the REED SEA, in the south east corner of the Mediterranean, where Moses took the Israelites across in to Sinai. Because to cross the actual Red Sea involves entering a deep rift valley several thousands of metres deep.
So ... Not France.
Reunion Island is far away from France.
Like saying a volcano in Samoa is an eruption in USA
Sure. Sure it is
Samoa is a separate country from USA. It’s more like saying a volcano in Hawaii is an eruption in USA. Reunion is as much apart of France as Hawaii is apart of the USA
i didnt know there was a volcano in france
They are extinct. Pito de la Fournaise is on Ile de Réunion in tbe Indian Ocean. Its a French Overseas Territory.
wow thanks for that information.

Whats crazy is this volcano is on an Island controlled by France while Olympus Mons is a volcano the size of France... I would love to see that.
Is Hawaii American? Or is Hawaii controlled by the USA? Unlike Hawaii, La Réunion was uninhabited when the French discovered the island. Why do the French deserve the special treatment?
@@adrien5834 Olympus Mons is a volcano on Mars that is the size of The Country of France... It's not in Hawaii
@@gsmith4295 Yes, yes. I'm asking whether you'd describe Hawaii as being "controlled by the Americans" as you describe La Réunion as being controlled by France.
@@adrien5834 Oh I understand... you have your baguettes in a bunch because I said France controls Reunion. I tell you what, to show my support for France I will have some French toast for breakfast and French fries with my lunch... hope that makes you heureux but if you remain butt hurt.. so be it.
@@gsmith4295 I'm not butt hurt, whatever that is, I'm trying to help you see your double standards, here. The French let their colonies go but the USA can never do the same because they're a colonial power built on land stolen from the natives. But, hey, whatever, have a nice day.
With everything us humans are doing to eachother, I sometimes forget mother earth gets a say in our misfortunes.
i thought it was gonna talk about all the protests going on
Yep, the timing is perfect it seems 😊
be vigilant, people on reunion island.
This video reminded me about a round of food poisoning.
Thumbnail a bit clickbaity.
I will never understand why people live on an island like that where a large portion of the island is made up of one or more active volcanoes.
For one reason the eruptions of this volcano on Reunion island are relatively quiescent because it is a shield volcano as opposed to a more threatening stratovolcano. But many people live close to stratovolcanoes as well such Merapi in Indonesia. Or Mount Mayon in the Philippines. People have lived next to those volcanoes for generations and only occasionally do eruptions cause a loss of life. Plus the ash for volcanoes greatly enriched the soil for growing crops which is a livelihood that people will only leave temporarily in a severe eruption.
It should be okay because there is a snack bar there, but I wouldn’t walk about on any of the trails…..
Technically French territory but a bit clickbaity though.
It’s not a territory its apart of the actual country of France just not apart of the mainland
Lol I thought Puy de Dome was gonna blow up
Should we really consider an overseas possession to be "in France"?
@@tommorrison1960 so all the sheep are French nationals? Et parlent en francais? Mon baaaaa!
Should you consider Hawaii to be in the USA?
@@rolandsquire6555 If you're asking my opinion, the answer is no. Hawaii is a state that is part of the union, but it is not in America.
this doesn't seem to age well
Its not even in Franse. Its near Afrika. Namibia.
These people thinking they’re so smart saying reunion is a territory and not France 😂😂
I would just like to blame all the French people throwing tomato paste on paintings instead of going and clogging the volcano hole with their bodies, the emissions of this eruption will equal France for like 1000 years probably lol

Culebra Puerto Rico?
I really appreciate your speed reading and speaking skills, there's not much I detest more than content providing narcissists that think this is a cult of personality. Anything over five minutes is a waste of my time. Your format fits a prick like me perfectly, just don't bore me, that's the only crime.
Things that make you mmmmmm
"aka" means "also known as" -- you're constantly abusing this initialism.
12000 years?? Mm where have i heard this number before..
Oof
