    We used to go there a lot when we were kids with our Scout troop. We camped many times in a huge cave that had a really long lava tube that took off from inside of it...and a couple months after we'd camped out there last, we went back to camp there again and the huge cave's roof had all caved in...scary!!! The rats were insane in there and would try to get into our packs and even our sleeping bags at night.

    This vidéo is quite amazing and how you got your drone views remains a mystery. How magma melts and the shape it takes makes me wish no one would try landing even with a parachute in such a lavafield... 🌋

    Cathedral Hill would be whats left of the volcano cone. The vent would be at the bottom of the slope of the hill. Quite the eruption and lots of errosion since it erupted. Cool site.

      @@johnnyoutwest The lighter colored rock may be a rock called tuff. Its a hard-ass rock that was once volcanic ash. The dark stuff mixed in would be basalt that came a little later so, that area saw more than one volcanic event. Seeing whats left tells us it was all biggerr than a big city area.

      Yeah in theory these volcanoes don't belong here in Utah. But there's an even deeper backstory to all that. Perhaps for another video..

    I wonder if you could find anything in the 3 sisters flow. On the west end, there is a spectacular black cinder flow of large stones with a small castle like lookout someone built there in the 70's or something on that highway leading from sisters toward the sw. I saw an alien saucer about 250' wide over the area there once. Germans apparently camp on the other side of the middle sister from the town of Sisters.

    Those names for the types of lava flows is Hawaiian. The first one, a'a is pronounced Ah ah, as in the sound you would make if you were to walk on it barefoot, ah ah. The other, Pahoehoe is the smoother roapy flow and is pronounce Pa hoy hoy.

    • @johnnyoutwest
      @johnnyoutwest  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The vast majority of lava tube collapses occur as the lava is cooling, very rare to have rock fall.

    The collapses likely happen in the spring time. Why?

    • @johnnyoutwest
      @johnnyoutwest  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      interesting question and love that you brought this up. I would have to think that going into winter, the water inside the basalt and in between cracks of course freezes and expands the cracks more. Then when the ice melts there are voids in the basalt causing collapses. How'd I do?

    • @joek511
      @joek511 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@johnnyoutwest 100%. Water expands when it freezes. This fractures the rock but as long as it stays frozen it holds things in place.

    These look like they have been diggen and trod by minors using dynamite as for geologic and topographic reasons as to dig tunnels from a place to another . These prospectors were looking for gold & glory and found their fate. 🌋💎
