      There are some serious flood basalts in northwestern and west central Colorado. The Flat Tops are volcanic in origin, as is Grand Mesa. I'm guessing that the volcano you are referring to is Dotsero, and it is part of the system which formed the Flat Tops. The hot springs at Glenwood are likewise a part of that whole complex, and is evidence that there is still heat deep under the ground. Similarly, the hot springs which can be found in the Steemboat area are also part of that whole thing. Sleepy Cat mountain up White River is an extinct volcano, and spring cave on the South Fork of the White River is an old lava tube. The sand that piles up next to the little creek which flows threw it belie it's origins. The black canyon is down cut through a thick layer of a flood basalt from volcanoes which were hundreds of thousands and even millions of years ago. Basalt above red sandstone deposits are what the western slope is all about. I miss those old mountains. They were a fantastic place to grow up in, but darn it's hard not being able to go back.

      In start contrast to yet very similar - to that of the lava flows on the other side of Iceland..
      One is COLD (icy cold) the other hellish hot.
      Both doing weird things to global temperatures (and global atmospheric changes too)
      One has to thus imagine, just how many cooking &/or home heating fires, any Human Race (al of us combined) could ever do - to equal one single volcano (and we currently have about thirty active one's world wide).?
      Makes a slight mockery of "human caused" climate change

      YES they do "contribute" in a MUCH SMALLER WAY, to "global cooling" AFTER they have heated the planet's atmosphere many times over with the physical release of extremely high temperatures from the super heated magma that issues forth in unrelenting torrents from that one volcano -- which initially are many thousands of degrees in temperature, for over a very long time (especially if they are correct in predicting that this ONE volcano will be spurting ultra hot magma, as open air lava - for the next 20 years or so).
      The so-called Volcanic Cooling,. comes from the extremely high content of sunlight depleting gasses, blocking out the sun's rays from heating other parts of the world as it does when there are clear atmospheric conditions.
      THAT COOLING, from the blocking of the sun's rays - itself takes many thousands of years to avert the extremely hot temperatures, emitted from the lava as it cools. FIRST.
      ONE volcano in Iceland is not the real problem though is it, it's the other 29 world-wide that have a cumulative effect on global temperature changes.

      @@QUIX4U Apart from those gasses there can also be a cooling effect from ash that can hang in the upper atmosphere for yrs and yrs. Another gas that could contribute to heating the planet is CO 2 (possibly others also, I'm not a scientist) but I have never heard that the cumulative effect of magma flows etc. have a warming effect on the planet, there would be some but I believe it is negligible? . . .

      @@johnzuijdveld9585 You know how a log-burner, producing around 16 to 20 Kilo-watts, is able to heat a very cold house (all of the interior) to ward off a winter's night chills.
      Well consider how much "heat" is derived from a Cubic Meter "stove" which needs to cool down from around 1200 degrees C - thereby producing very high temperatures for as long as it takes that single Cubic Meter to cool enough to touch.
      Think of all the hundreds if not thousands, of square-km (of CUBIC Meters), of lava - simply produced even from one volcano - that needs to cool.?
      That's a lot of log-fires in one area, that cannot cool quickly in a short time, but over many years, hence - why would a lava field several hundred meters DEEP, covering a large area, not warm the atmosphere above itself?
      Have you taken any notice of the immensely huge area, the mega lava flows have produced in Iceland recently, devouring not just land but several high MOUNTAINS in it's quest to reach the sea, (and anywhere else it can "in-fill" in the process)?
      Plus - it's still producing huge amounts of lava flows, in every direction - almost all of which is still very molten at extremely high temperatures, and thus fairly easily moves in rivers, underneath the now cooling outer crust?

      I would have liked a tag with it to dont take example to feed the horses you got no permission for by owner. We horse owners do not want people to feed our horses. They can get sick from eating other things than grass and hay, too fresh bread can cause deadly doughballs in a horses stomach. But most of all, horses will fight for it and can put people in danger, they will learn to bite as well as screw up the money we spend on training our horses. Please do not feed horses you got no permission for, not even the grass you cut outside the fence.

      p.s, I fully understand they come with a "limited" flight charge, in their battery packs, but could an extra (smaller) pack be added as a "load" underneath one, to extend it's flight time enough?

    It is what is going on under that glacier which worries me most for our Icelandic friends. That has held the potential for a very long time to do some very bad things if something were to happen on the wrong side of that glacier. I remember seeing those huge chunks of ice being washed along by all of that flood water a few years back, and I remember wondering what would happen if those flood waters went in the opposite direction. I don't know what is there, it would be horrible to see any people washed away and killed because of a flood caused by volcanism under the glacier. I have seen what the sudden release of glacial waters did to the American northwest, and even though it happened 15,000 years ago, a lot of the land has still not healed, and might not ever. The floods scraped the land clear of all soil, and left deeply cut basaltic bedrock behind. I hope something like that never happens to Iceland. Roads can be rebuilt, but lives cannot be restored to those who perish. During the eruption the people of Iceland have endeared themselves to me and many others, and though we know very few of them by name, we can't help but care, especially when we are given beautiful virtual tours like this one. Your people have been so good, and forthcoming with what they know that at least I cannot help but care. It is a beautiful country carved by fire and ice, and it's people are at the same time hardy, and kind. I'm sure I'm not the only one who worries for your safety and holds great gratitude for your generosity.
    I hope the person who gave this video a thumbs down rots. It takes a unique kind of ugly to give this a thumbs down.

      Dont insult the breed, they are horses, not ponies and no Icelandic person will tell you different. They might be small but there is no evidence to call them ponies (as there is genetic differences between horses and ponies) in the first place, second there is no Icelandic word for pony, third they are primary horses for adults, kids can ride them of course but they are not specifically bred for children. They just use the more docile and easy ones for kids to learn. Fourth, ride one and you know its not a pony underneath you, its a powerhouse that easily carries an adult over rough terrain.

    The main thing that saddens me so much - is the global climate effects of all that lava flow HEAT being dissipated into the climate in the Northern Hemisphere, which will eventually also effect the climate and temperatures down here in our lower hemisphere areas too.
    W still have people stating that all the "temperature" changes are purely human made, yet I seriouysly doubt even the entire human race - for all the time it has existed on earth, could EVER have developed as much latent heat - as that one volcano's heat output (let alone any of the other 30 active volcanoes world wide)
    Plus, how much of a detrimental global effect - has all the noxious gasses any volcano erupts into the stratosphere, permanently altering the way the Sun's IR rays and sunlight filter through the cloud layers, down to warm the earth's ground surfaces.?
    Surely one single volcano such as your active one (down on your S/W coast), which is considerably more powerful, than any combined human effort could ever manage to do..
    AND - it's still erupting after what four months or more now?
    Continuing to be sending ever more heated lava and destructive gasses, into our world's fragile environment.
