The Active Volcano in Canada; Mount Cayley

North of Vancouver are three closely spaced active volcanoes. One of these volcanoes is still quite active as it contains a number of hot springs. The volcano in question is referred to as Mount Cayley, which could produce another explosive eruption in the near future. This video will discuss this volcanic complex and mention what its future hazards are.

    Although Mount Cayley is less active than two volcanoes to the south (Mount Garibaldi & Garibaldi Lake), it is still quite seismically active and produces several hot springs. Regardless, it is a very beautiful volcanic complex.

    Slightly off-topic, but the SO2 emissions from Taal has gone from over 12,000 tonnes a day on November 21 to 1,700 tonnes a day on November 24th. Is this a bad sign or is it just Taal being Taal?

    This is absolutely fascinating. Volcanoes coming up and blowing their tops while being under ice age glaciers. Glaciers once covered almost all of Canada up to 12,000 years ago when the Earth's temperature at least there rarely got above 40 degrees F in summer. Expounding the fact summer was shorter, because the northern hemisphere was angled away from where it spins now on it's axis during that time. Also a fact that the weight of said glaciers pushed down on the Canadian lands putting tremendous pressure on subterranean magma chambers! I wonder if those volcanoes may have contributed to lakes forming further south into where the United State are today during the ice age?

You don’t have to, of course, it’s just another option. I’m VERY interested in learning more about Galeras in Columbia. From Satellite views that I’ve been looking at, it looks like a volcanic cone inside a caldera that is inside another caldera, with another caldera to the south and I want to know if my suspicions are right about that. The only information I’ve got on Galeras is from the National Geographic documentary Volcano: Nature’s Inferno, so I’m dying to learn more!

Did you do a piece on that one yet?

    There are definitely hidden volcanoes, that-is volcanoes with very large eruptions whose sources remain unknown. Examples are big eruptions in 535 AD, 1465 AD, and 1808 AD. What you are thinking of is Paricutin, which is merely the latest vent in the much larger Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field. Link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2ukrqZ9fbu5iLQ.html

    Can you do a video on Mt. McLoughlin in Oregon? It had an eruption merely 30,000 years ago and there is a possibility that it can erupt soon, most likely would be effusive. I believe that it could erupt because the cascades have a history of having long dormant periods. Such as Mt. Hood (had a dormancy of 10,000 years) and possibly Mt. Jefferson (Main summit hasn’t erupted for 7,000 yrs) and I believe when I was watching one of your videos where you talked about one of the cascade volcanoes having a dormancy of 20,000 years, therefore I believe that Mt. McLoughlin could erupt soon. (By soon I mean a few thousand years or so).

    An interesting topic for your consideration would be Mt. Hood - Oregon's most likely to erupt volcano. I'd be interested in seeing how the mountain's 3 major drainage routes would be affected by a large lahar. We native Oregonians are well aware that the Sandy River delta which flows into the Columbia River, on the mountain's northwest side, was created by one such lahar as witnessed by the Native Americans of that era. How about the other 2 drainages?

    Hey do you use a voice synthesizer or just have a very monotone voice? Interesting fact - there's always without fail a bunch of rare plants around volcanoes. You should team up with a few other KZreadrs and make a video where you go to a volcano, talk about the geology, go fishing or foraging for food, then set up camp and cook it over a fire. While showing off your clothes and gear. Like, a bit of everything so viewers of any and all channels will get satisfied. I can no longer watch people's peaceful bike rides set to music in there serene travel videos without getting irritated they're not talking about the geology of the mountain they're climbing or the rare plants they're passing, and was especially irritated when one KZreadr showed off his stove but not the meal he cooked on it. I have decided in my next video I'm gonna try to do it all, so nobody can complain.
