Weekend Wrapup: Etna & Chaiten

Etna 2001

It has been rather quiet on the volcano news front over the weekend. A couple tidbits:

- There are some new data showing the sulfur dioxide flux from Mt. Etna (Italy). The image above is an eruption of Etna from 2001 (and it makes a great wallpaper).

- I’ve heard very little about Chaiten lately, mostly because I don’t think much has changed. The last update provided by the SERNAGEOMIN was on 5.16 (in spanish) and pretty much that is exactly what it says: the volcano continues to erupt. Apparently some USGS folks will be arriving on the scene soon as well. Most of the town of Chaiten has been destroyed (as reported before here) and there is concern for various nature preserves in Patagonia as well.

I will be out of town all week, so updates may be sporadic. I’ll be giving a talk at the Smithsonian Institution (along with some other non-volcano-related activities). I’ll try to update if something big pops up!

    Have only really just discovered that there are such things as volcanic blogs, excellent! I have just been to Etna (returned to the UK last night) the upper slopes have a covering of snow and the wind is a constant threat to those who wish to venture up to the summit area. as for getting to the top end of the Valle del Bove, well that is just not possible at the moment and one German man has already lost his life this winter trying to do just that so anyone wanting to get to the lava flows in this area need to think about waiting till the spring or early summer. Anyway the activity at the moment is nothing at all special in the scheme of Etna things, bet to wait for the right erupting to come along as it regularly does on this volcano. That said we had a fab time exploring the les dramatic, but for me just as interesting aspects of the volcanic story of Etna; such as the recent follows juxtaposed with the older more vegetated ones, the many parasitic cones including the infamous Monti Rossi that in 1669 fed two flows of lava, one that nearly destroyed Catania. The story about this particular eruption makes great reading (see Alwyn Scarth’s book Vulcan’s Fury for the account)

    If you are interested please visit my recently re-lunched website that has more Etna tails and images among other volcanoes.

    I found this quote very fitting “Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.” — Louis E. Boone

    I wonder why Wiz never pushed Cabin Fever as an album. Added some songs from Rolling Papers and it’ll be a really good album.

    This is a great post, though sometimes I think I have to disagree with your takes and ideas on some posts. However, I just can’t stop reading the things you blog about because it’s written so flawless and elegantly. It’s great to know that other people continue to take the time to think about the things they are blogging about. I have a mastic siding related website and if you are interested it would be wonderful if you could check it out. I am just starting out and I could use a couple tips or pointers. Maybe some day my website can be as great as yours and I will have visitors that actually stick around. Anywho apologies for the lengthy post and I hope you continue to post on your blog unlike some people who just randomly stop. Thanks and I will be checking back again!

    We got a discounted curriculum through Homeschool Buyers Co-op. When we went to the DPS office to turn in the paper work, take the test and get the learners permit, they didnt even ask to see proof that we actually used anything state approved. They glanced at the logs we filled out and only wanted the name of the curriculum. We fumbled around for a bit before we remembered the title, and that was written down.

    Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; we have developed some nice practices and we are looking to swap solutions with other folks, please shoot me an email if interested.

    The first time is recorded in Genesis Chap 6, which resulted in nearly every family on earth marrying into the family tree of their offspring, until there was only Noah who was perfect in his generations (or genealogy) back to Adam.

    Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!

    I agree with this. The case of “Apple”, for instance, perfectly illustrates this point. There is virtually no chance the kid will ever meet another person with that name. I see no reason for Gwyneth Paltrow to have any regrets over that name.
