I have some good news! The remaining $35.65 from the larger pool which everyone donated for Ruang's volcano relief was just given to help the victims of Mount Marapi's deadly recent lahar. This means that all of the original donation money has now been spent on volcano disaster relief in Indonesia! Good job everyone!

Congratulations on the 300k subs! Interesting about the water color changes!
-
At least nobody was on White Island this time.😔
-
Congratulations on 300k! You've opened a whole new part of this planet to me and your hard work is deeply appreciated. (No puns intended.)
-
A for effort in trying to say Whakatane! If I was to give some advice in case us kiwis have more volcanic activity, 'Wh' has a strong 'F' sound, and 'Tane' is pronounces 'Ta-Nay' phonetically. All up would be 'Fah-ka-ta-nay' said fairly fluidly :) Hope that helps!

White Island is shrowded in smoke cloud this morning 27th May 10.40am. The nearly 4mag yesterday ( Sunday morning @ 9.02am was 'different.' There was a noise like a wind then a very sharp jolt. Not usual. Usual is a rumble then shaking side to side or a rolling wave. It is not usual for 3×eruptions in successive days. No.

This channel almost become a weekly news of Indonesia. Thanks for reporting tho!

Congratulations on the 300k mate, you deserve it. BTW, I had acquaintances who were at the deadly white island eruption a few years back, and I always remember their stories about it, scary AF.

Thanks as always, Geology Hub.

Thank you.

Another fabulous volcano update! Any plans to celebrate your 300k subs? If not, might I suggest something along the lines of a vid about the known state of earths geology 300k years ago? Though I know 300k years doesn't amount to much in geologic timescales maybe a quick recap of known major events around the time period?
-
Thanks for all of your hard work man!
-
you do such a good job tteching those of us with minimal knowledge and making us more aware of these events worldwide. congrats on the 300k scbcribers.

Huh looks like Phreatic is the flavour of the week:) Scares me more than most because it almost never has any warning signs.
