Large Sections of Island Wiped Out by Major Eruption; Ruang Volcano Erupts
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2024
- A major eruption just occurred at the Ruang volcano, which wiped out large swaths of the inhabited island it sits on. As much as 40% of the island was scorched by pyroclastic flows within an hour, and this eruption is still continuing to intensify. Today's video discusses the evacuation of Ruang Island, the series of events which led to this eruption, and what might happen next.

Luckily, it appears that everyone on the island had evacuated by the time this eruption occurred. Sorry for the heavy usage of stock footage, but I was unable to license the minimal filmed footage out there of this eruption. Also, the plume just reached 8 km height due to a recent explosion.
It's always good to hear that the population is safe especially when we get a rare spectacle too 😊
good to hear. I cant imagine how terrifying it would be to live there and know the previous history and see it producing these explosions.
April 10th was the day of the Saturn/Mars conjunction symbolising heavily restrained and potentially explosive energy, given the grand solar minimum we are in, has it's name and everything, one of these babies could pop like Krakatoa...Hunga Tonga was just a prelude....
@@nicolasalexander408 Missed opportunity to say "crack like krakatoa"...
Thats okay, thanks for posting about it, most people wouldn't be aware of it because the media cover it (no one died).
Images are easy to find. Its a very pretty classic tropical volcano,
Thanks,
That escalated very quickly.
Volcanoes are terrifying!
0 to 100 ***** real quick
And one day later it has escalated to a VEI 4 Plinian eruption still ongoing. Its equally fascinating and terrifying just how quickly events escalated. I'm going to bet that convective crystal fractionalization due to large scale magma mixing is likely ongoing.
will itale st Elmo's fire?
Volcanoes in Indonesia don't mess around.
That is scary. Living on a volcanic island that goes boom with some regularity.
Good to hear all residents are safe for now.
Stromboli residents live with it constantly

Good thing everyone was evaluated from the island safely.
evaluated? I think you meant evacuated.
Auto-correct getting things wrong again.
@@TheHungrySlug They might have actually meant evaluated, as they had to set up TSA booths to evaluate the residents for explosive materials

Dear Geology Hub: Please ignore all the commenters who have missed the clue bus and continue on with your fine work, delivering your important information in your unique voice. Lack of life experiences and disinterest in learning (taught or otherwise) causes many folks to make hasty opinions. For those wondering why I used "clue bus": anything one encounters that causes one to pause is, imo, a clue bus. Catching the bus means one investigates that thing that caused the pause *before* one make a comment out of ignorance. 🙂
Your reports always leave me feeling informed, thanks so much mate!
Another example on why monitoring is important for volcanoes near populated areas, even when there's little to no warning, better be safe than sorry
Glad everyone is safe
1 person died
@@Edwxrd69 that is sad
Stay as safe as you can guys, all the best from UK 🇬🇧

Terima kasih buat GeologyHub yang telah menjelaskan keadaan gunung Raung dengan detail dalam bahasa yang sederhana dan mudah dimengerti....
🙏🙏
Sumpah bre, Geohub bener-bener fav gua co.. channel lokal kadang kebanyakan drama kalo njelasin teknikal event, jadi ngga tahan nontonya kadang cringe banget kalo Geohub tah menenangkan banget dan informatif straight to the point gitu :]..
Semoga jangan tambah buruk dan selamat selalu buat yang terdampak, waspada dan antisipasi terus biar ngga memburuk kedepannya amin:'l..
@@Zantigableiaustsoalnya channel ini emang bidangnya gunung2an.. kalo channel lain mungkin cm orang awam yg lebih sering bahas hal2 umum.
Sorry bro, this is not Raung Mountain, but Ruang mountain...
Raung Mountain in East Java, Ruang mountain in North Sulawesi Province, Sitaro County 😊😅

Thank's for your correct...
Thsnk yiu....
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks as always. I hope everyone is fine! It is good to hear that the island has been evacuated.
Thanks!
Thanks for all of your hard work man!
Ruang Mountain located in Siau Tagulandan & Biaro Islands Regency, North Sulawesi Province - Indonesia...
I'm from North Sulawesi and we thank to your prayers and supports...
May the resident in Siau Tagulandang & Biaro are always safe in the hands of God...
FYI, North Sulawesi located in volcanic plate paths... so it has over 7 volcano...
Now, with the eruption of Ruang Mountain...
Other volcanoes were alert too, because all volcanoes in North Sulawesi were connected...
So glad that they were able to evacuate those on Ruang. I wonder where on the island people were living, if everyone lived in a single town? Has lava destroyed their homes? Hoping the best for them.
Thanks for posting.
Thank you for your hard work!
It is good to hear everyone got away safe.
Glad I don't live in any dangerous location on Earth...
**Looks out the window situated below sea level in the Netherlands with a single dam protecting us all.**
Oh... right.
😂
I live in the U.S. and am surrounded by volcanoes so I really understand your concern! Mt. St. Helens, Northwest of me, Mt. Rainier to the North, Mt. Adams to the Northeast and Mt. Hood to the south. I hope none of them decide to wake up. 😂
lol no matter where we're at, there's always something, right?
There are no safe places on earth in reality
Wth is with a barrage of comments suddenly complaining about the narration and insisting it is AI?????
Wtf ARE you people, and why are you attacking him all at once together? 🤬😒
This is one of the FEW quality factual with great graphics and no agenda geo channels.
obvious . . . they are all jealous AIs,
I haven't complained, but maybe they're experiencing the same thing I am, which is I find it extremely difficult to understand him. So much so that I stoped listening after about a minute. I don't know if it's his mic, or being my hearing being a little off. It just sounds blunted. Anyway, I can't understand him at all.
@@user-ry1vi1jc7oIn which case, mute the video and follow it on the transcript.
Are you serious? His tone is exactly the same throughout the video, no changes in pitch whatsoever, our vocal cords can't do that. Smh dunces fall for shite AI video once again.
@@user-ry1vi1jc7o i am austrian, my english is not the best....but i have no problems to understand him
It escalated really quickly and we didn’t even know wow
Thank you for the report, GH.
I literally just got done talking with someone from the Phillipines about the Pinatubo eruption then I open youtube and see this.
Bloody hell.
Such a detailed update. Great job 😊
It’s so good that everyone appears to have gotten to safety in time
Tried to give the video a thumbs-up but TH-cam is glitching on Likes at the moment
Thank you for this and all other of your reports. Family to the south in Sulawesi so watching closely.
This video is proof that with good monitoring, a potentially catastrophic volcanic event can end up with a human toll close to zero.
As for the material side, the interventions around Grindavik prove that we can, despite everything, try things to minimize material damage.
Very fascinating. What really interests me is how quickly Ruang awakened. I’m thinking about writing a story about an eruption at Mount Konocti in California, and this helped confirmed some of my desired scenarios (fast awakening, andesitic lava flows amid explosions with pyroclastic flows only hours later).
This is the textbook nightmare you can get from a stratovolcano...
From minor unrest to total meltdown in a matter of hours.
Andesite magma, if it's filled with gas, can ascend remarkably quickly for such a viscous material.
This is like squeezing carbonated Play Doh through a pipeline at several km/h when in full paroxysm. The energy involved is tremendous.
This is the kind of stuff that could happen in Indonesia again, but this is the same scenario everyone in Naples fears about Vesuvius.
This exact scenario could play out... phreatic awakening , then in a few hours more and more Vulcanian explosions throwing ash ever higher while trachyandesite lava flows would smother villages on the flanks.
Then the main phase would start with 2000m+ lava fountaining, multiple pyroclastic flows through column collapse and unstable scoria deposits sliding away, and profuse lava emission, both which could endanger Naples.
This is the scenario of Vesuvius, 1631.
Oh man, that's hella weird - I used to live up in Spring Valley at the base of Chalk Mountain, and always had a very eerie feeling about Konocti and that entire volcanic field in general. Had nightmares about the area around Chalk Mountain getting inundated in ashfall and active lava coming from some of the more prominent mountain tips around the valley with no warning, with that one single tiny road in-and-out of the valley getting covered and people having to get airlifted out (not exactly the most realistic scenario, but the sleeping brain can't tell the difference lmao). I both love, support and HATE that you have a desire to write about it actually going off!
@@invalidvulture1408 Yeah, there's a lot of interesting folklore about Konocti, a lot of which is scientifically plausible. What really makes it a good candidate for a story is that the towns and neighborhoods surrounding it go right up its flanks, something not a lot of major US volcanoes have. The thought of it awakening quickly and suddenly can also help find a different plot from the traditional "no one believes the scientist" plot that's already been done.
I mean he was right about the increase in volcanic activity but it’s at a vei4 not 3 which is really bad
if you haven't lived there would you like some insight from someone who has? i was raised in spring valley till i was around seven, and there is a whole lot more to the weirdness of that area. largely ignored water quality issues, an insane crime rate, and the sweet taste of them rocks are just some odd points.
great presentation and break down!
Thanks for update
This was very well done. Loved it.
Thanks for the interesting report.
WOW, just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was there to witness this beauty! Please post the detailed updates further. Much appreciated!!!!!!!
Thank you Sir
The photo on the volcano app is an amazing shot.
I was just pondering the possibility of a long slumbering volcano unexpectedly exploding. I was looking at the Azores though lol... im sure a video will come soon enough.
Just consider Yellowstone, 600,000 years on average between eruptions
I was thinking Italy!
I really love all of your hard work to post these videos so we can be more educated, thanks a whole bunch
Wow!!! It's been minor 3.0 and so off shore shaken around the big island 🏝 of Hawaii
Very helpful info, thank you. We are close to Bitung right now after the eruption yesterday morning. Ashes fell down to Gangga Island, which we left yesterday. I hope it’s like in your prognosis, that this might be the final big eruption.
Goodness - nothing on US news about it. I just remember waking up after Tonga to Tsunami notices and knowing we were going to have a cold winter the following year. This looks like it won't inject SO2 high enough into the atmosphere to do anything to affect the climate. Hopefully there won't be any tsunamis, because there doesn't look like many other options to move to.
The sO2 of Tonga was mainly dissolved into the ocean water but the amount of water vapor injected should've put people on notice for weather anomalies.
I believe last year's record breaking snowfall on the west coast and the historic heatwave of the South was because of that water vapor.
Indonesia is celebrating Idul Fitri holidays during the eruption. So this news also kinda put aside.
U.S. news is too busy with the orange 🍊 🤡 circus.
Sodium burning also drowns out most all other elements and it only takes a little to totally drown out the colors of the glows/flames of other elements and the colors they produce.
Sodium? This is a unique (and impossible) magma if it contains native sodium metal!!!
Did you mean sulfur?
I was surprised to hear about metallic sodium in the volcano deposits igniting, but it seems like it's other gases being set on fire that vaporized sodium salts, possibly sulfates or chloride.
Sodium gives a very vivid one of a kind yellow orange glow when torched with a flame or put through an electric arc.
It doesn't burn in its ionic form, it simply glows without chemical change when heat is applied, the ions are already reacted and can't be oxidized any further.
It just gets rid of excitation energy through photon emission, and the emitted light is very precisely defined, almost monochromatic, because the outer electrons in the ion can only desexcite one way.
@@pierreetienneschneider6731 I sincerely doubt that gases exsolving from magma have the ability to burst into flame when coming into contact with oxygen. Can you cite any occurences? (Methane from organic sediments has no connection to magma, in advance)
Awesome
❤
Very educational
Mother Nature doing her thing !
3:54 although comically tiny this clip illustrated how a landslide tsunami works very well
GH made a video with more of this footage when it happened in Italy a year or two ago.
pacific eruption so different from iceland volcanos
Wow
Any live video? Sat images? Where? I know you cant post them.
2 seconds of typing ruang volcano and footage is the first result 😂😂🤣🤣
I didn’t know about this and the other night. There was a thunderstorm out past the heads at Jervis Bay and I couldn’t believe how red the clouds were now I completely understand what was going on.
I pray for all the innocent animals and living things that cannot escape.
🥺🙏🏻💔😓 indeed!!!
You stated that the lava is andesite lava. I’m guessing no direct samples are taken at this time, so I’m curious how you know this? I’m guessing it is based on historic lava composition and flow rates of the lava, but these might not be the lines of evidence and/or others are used instead.
The roofs look like my greenhouse roof after a recent hail storm. Sucks, but at least the chunks were cold. Baseball sized, but not burning hot.
The second phase of eruption just happened again in April 30 which is more violent than last one 😢
If a tsunami wave is small how do you tell the difference from a normal sea wave generated by the weather/normal tidal movement?
It says it’s been exhausted when I try to like your video
I had that problem earlier. I had to wait it out. It’s back to working now.
It's a TH-cam fault. If you close and reopen the app it should work
This is a big one. Not so big als hunga tonga but one that influences airliners and also people near it.
Was this strong enough to affect global weather?
No
No, by several orders of magnitude.
This ain't Krakatau, there's still hope we will have summer this year.
Nah, to being big enough .... but technically your breathing is felt by mars so ..... technically it was big enough to change the weather but not big enough to notice the difference. 😂🎉❤😊
Possibly
Major eruption happening now.
Makes me glad I live 400km inland and have my home at 3500 ft MSL, with several tall mountains between me and the ocean...............
Follow all the volcanic eruptions since Nov 2023, and you'll see some very interesting notations. Pay attention to collapses dust, and smoke colors (white, yellow, gray, red, black, etc.), it says a lot about the geological makeup of the earths crust and the different ores. Iceland volcanic cone collapse activities dust & smoke immediately after, shows a lot of red iron oxide (Fe2 O-3, sorry for lack of chem characters type setting), lots of magnetite & hematite in that area (rich iron, perfect for steel), aside from the sulfur dioxide (SO-2). Winter 23/24, tectonic plates flexing its muscles!
This was fast
Whenever I try to "Like" any videos on YT today, I keep getting an error message box that pops up and reads "Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota)." I've never seen that message before, nor have I ever not been able to "Like" a video. Anyone else?
I am getting the same error
Got an odd message from you tube that says “resource exhausted”. It wouldn’t allow me to like your video.
2:48 I guess this didn't age well
Careful....my comment regarding this was deleted. Geologists make stuff up 50% of the time rather than saying they just don't know.
I looked it up On a Map & Still can't figure out if they're sitting in the "RING OF Fire" 🤔
Geography 😕
So what is the likelihood it blows up like the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa? IE obliterate the entire island so that nothing is left above sea level? I mean, if this is still escalating, where does it stop?
If so much vegetation was destroyed, and I would think more will be destroyed, do you think any people will be allowed to return to Ruang once the eruption is over?
82' high tsunami? That could alter you plans for a day at the beach.
I could feel it up here in canada too...oh wait no that was just a train going thru town heh.
What if Mt Ruang becomes a plinian eruption ?
Any guess by geologist..if it gonna erupt more and stronger? Tsunami and that cloud will be a problem.
Indonesian volcanoes are so aggressive
I'm a bit confused. When i'm cheking the web "magma indonesia", the ruang's alert level is still at 2, not 3. But instead, the alert level from the nearby awu volcano raised from 2 to 3. Idk what's wrong with it
Check again, it's there
@@alkautsarpurnamaagung1842 yea they just updated it
Prayers and best wishes to the inhabitants of this area !!!
Well, dutchsense (the earthquake predicting phenom the powers that be keep censoring) was right again. . . and again and again.
This was more than an earthquake, but it certainly qualifies as a seismic 'disturbance' worthy of note !
Ruang or Raung?
Mount Ruang. Mount Raung is another volcano in East Java, near the city and regency (county) of Banyuwangi.
The name of this volcano, "Ruang", also means "room/chamber" in Indonesian 🙂
I prefer Raung, which means roar...
It's a well deserved name, as Gunung Raung in Java has a small but deep summit caldera which acts as an echo chamber, and there is a noisy little Strombolian cone in the middle which erupts lava bubbles and whatnot...
Detonations can be heard kms away even with very minor activity.
It's like if Stromboli was fitted with a resonator 😊
Yep, auto correct gets me all the time.
This island looks like a srarfort.😮
Sad all the animals were left behind.
🌱🌏💚,
Let’s not let tsunami be the biggest killer.
"Volcanians" come from Vulcan like Mr Spock. Gotta watch out for that "volcanian activity"
Vulcan Rising
earth on menstrual period...
i feel you too mother earth
We call this foreshadowing. Seems like the new eruption is larger than that in 2002
Volcanos erupting around the world. Is the earth getting ready to shift as predicted by Edgar Casey? Hard to say, but if the earth does shift, few if any will survive.
It worsened now
The sodium is from seawater ... not good.
It occurs to me that it is totally logical that global warming should subsequently cause or contribute to more volcanic eruptions and earthquakes as the crust heats and, therefore, expands. ... Right?
0 to 100 ***** real quick
Depending on a number of critical variables, Ruang's eruption could significantly cool the atmosphere below the plume. Should it rise high enough (~11 km overall) into the stratosphere, dominant winds will carry that shaded area globally. But that's unlikely.
Twirling the maps around gave me nausea.
How did you learn to talk like that is that for TH-cam only purposes
Translet to hindi
such foolish people living on volcanoes
Statistics only tell you about the periodicity of events over a very long time period. Events do not occur like that. They are randomly scattered across the time period and tend to "bunch" up. Hence, you can have a 100-year flood twice in, say, 5 years. But, over a 100,000 year period, they may average every 100 years.
Volcanic eruption is devastating for people nearby, an I have all the compassion with them, but how-about nif you tell us where is that volcano ??? Everybody is expected to know where is Ruang volcano. You just focus on the drama, for the sake of explosive news. Stop that NONSENSE.
Kermit, is that you?
Please. No more religious cult prophecy predictions. They we're wrong again in predicting the end of humanity for the eclipse.
