Volcano! When it All Began - Montserrat Blows Its Top - 1995
Ғылым және технология
The Soufrière Hills looked like peaceful, bucolic mountains, part of the beauty of Montserrat, a jewel in the Caribbean Islands. But on July 18, 1995, this volcano erupted pyroclastic flows with such force it destroyed the capital city, Plymouth.
This eruption changed Montserrat forever - geographically, geologically and, for the people of Montserrat, psychologically.
For the next 5 years, evacuations continued till 2/3 of the population fled, leaving only 1,200 people on the entire island.
Eruptions continued for years, finally waning in 2010 - 13 years after this documentary was made.
This is a story about crucial moment in history, when an international team of courageous scientists raced against time trying to find vital clues to the volcano's next move... and a documentary team caught in an eruption.

This eruption is the one that made me into a volcano hobbyist, I have seem many videos and recordings of it, but I'd never seen this documentary of it. Thank you and your team for being so thorough, I can only imagine how scared you've felt back then, since it was this eruption that made scientists create the most advanced ways we have, today, of detecting eruptions, and you could say you were a part of it, even if a small portion. In 2021, we had a smaller, but similar eruption in St. Vincent, and thanks to all the new techs created at Soufrière Hills, no one died, or even injured, that's how much the quality of prediction got in 30 years, so again, I thank you and all the scientists that were on this island, risking their live to improve science.
Thank you for posting! Even after all these years, the work you and the team put in to bring us this was indeed seeing history in the making.
She has such a lovely relaxing voice.

Thank you! You're very kind 😊
You sound very similar to Amanda Tapping, Samantha Carter from Stargate SG-1. Made listening to this quite pleasant.
i was in the volcano 5 months prior to the eruption. i have rock samples from the volvano that have sulpher on them . i saw mud bubles and steam coming out and yes i have pictures . i emailed the mov and nobody was intrested in the rock samples i had collected i thought this very odd . i thought that they would want actual rock samples for testing

Interesting! I think the MOV collected a lot of their own rock samples, before, during & after the eruption. Maybe that's why they didn't need more. What a great "souvenir" to have from such an historic event!

Normally the natives have enough knowledge to understand what is going on in their land and relying on foreign nationalist arrogant “ scientists” that has little respect for natives languages and cultures and shamefully they have to bring their genocidal despicable and shameful spanish and french languages rather than listen the natives.
Interesting video
