Akutan is considered to be the 2nd most dangerous volcano in all of Alaska. Do you agree with this assessment? The USGS methodology takes into account eruptive frequency, nearby population centers, maximum eruption size, amount of regional infastructure, and the amount of regional air traffic.

I know more about groundwater flashing to steam than any reasonably should. Nature videos were my favorites. So couldn’t imagine having your resources at my disposal when I was a little squirt. Your videos remind me of Popular mechanics and “there goes a fire truck” from back in the day. I mean this as an extreme compliment. Your channel takes me baxk

The creek that runs along the north side of the valley that drains to Hot Springs Bay has hotsprings that will melt the glue from your rubber boots. Boiling hot at the surface. Two springs are directly next to along the north side of the creek.. The entire valley floor is a swamp with tangled brush alder.. this is exactly where the Japanese Zero crashed during WW2. The pilots grave was nearby. His body was moved in 1987 or 88.

Really love your work! Keep it up . P.s I’m from Alaska so interesting to learn ♥️

Alaska has by far the most different types of volcanoes every type of volcano is there.

The two small houses above the village of Akutan is their emergency Tsunami Shelter. They are much higher than the village itself. It has been there for at least 40 years.

When I used to work on fishing boats for cod and pollock on the Bering Sea Akutan was where we often offloaded our fish. One time we hiked up to check out the hot springs, thinking we might get to enjoy a natural jacuzzi. Ha ha, no way! You could literally cook lobster and shrimp in that water, and even putting your hand in the water for 5 seconds risked 3rd degree burns. (Yes, I know there's no lobster in Alaska waters. Just trying to illustrate how scalding hot the hot springs are.)

I've said this before, this has become my favorite channel TY for all your hard work ❤️

A mere 1600 years ago. Puts things in perspective.

akutan is a volcano located on the island akutan not so far from the city akutan

Great video, as usual. I love learning about the historical activity of volcanos I am unfamiliar with. TOPIC REQUEST: I would love to hear what you know about how floods impact volcanic activity, particularly with the recent flooding in Yellowstone. THank you in advance!

Thank you GH, the Aleutian arc is fascinating. Have you done a video about the 2016/2017 eruption of Bogoslof? If not, consider it as an official request! ;).

Really starting to think moving to Alaska might have been a mistake.

Wow! Cool maps!

Just found out that Yellowstone Park is closed due to extreme flooding. I wonder if this would affect the actual volcano itself?

liked video 👍🌋

I know this isn't related to this volcano, but the very ground that another volcano in the US is covering. What's happening at Yellowstone right now is a tragedy. It's not related to the volcano itself, but I know that region has been discussed on this channel before.

have you checked the central plateau of bc near stuart lake? i was watching a video on the takla band an I saw a mountain that looked like mt st helens.

Can you do a video on mud volcanoes. Recently read about them and was quite surprised by their existence.

Here's a question, how exactly do they make detailed geological maps like the one at 4:30?

Really good information, keep it coming. Would be interested on your view of the earthquakes which occur on the islands of Bali and Lombok, thanks

Nice!

Is there any evidence that huge rainfall in a caldera might cause more steam build up at depth? I'm asking because of the Yellowstone flooding. I wonder if the groundwater will cause more water activity.

1:29 theres a face on the side of the volcano.

Boom!

Akutan: nee

👁👁🍺🚬〰️Hey you know that big mountain that shoots out fire bombs yeah lets move there. 😳🤣

We need to pray.. we do not know this volcanocan erup but with new technology we could predict and do something to accept the risk in managing this natural calamities God is warning us.
