I am a geology professor, author of Geology Underfoot in Southern Idaho, and co-author of Roadside Geology of Idaho. I love exploring the Earth's rocks and landscapes and sharing these stories with others. On this channel, I post a variety of engaging videos to help folks understand geology from a variety of locations in throughout the western US and beyond. Most of my videos are field-based, where geology is learned best, but I also have some longer lecture style videos as well. My videos are not slick productions. They are often raw, off the cuff, and unscripted, but hopefully informative and helpful. As a licensed climbing and whitewater rafting guide, I sometimes sneak these exploits in as well with a bit of geology for good measure. Enjoy and thanks for your viewership!

Very cool! Thanks, Shawn.
Thanks Shawn!
imagine YT with ads thank god for adblock
Thanks for sharing all the great video 13:26 footage! Very interesting as always! 😊
Why does the channel say there are only 3 comments when I found 9 at 2123 on June 17 ?
Watching drone flight, listening to my husband picking guitar, is both soothing and spectacular at the same time. A time ago, I walked the Niska'a lava flow near Terrace, BC. I am so glad I had this opportunity as it makes watching this living landscape amazing ❤✌️👍
Great flights Shawn. I feel privileged to witness land being added to Iceland: thank you, Johan at NatureEye and the moderators.
Thank you Professor
Thank you and all who contributed to this content. Very appreciative.
Thanks, Shawn, and everyone who adds content and moderates... really good information. Love the photos and drone shots, especially.
Great job with the drone flight! By chance did you see that there have been several earthquakes within the crater at Mt. St. Helen's over the weekend? It may be awakening.😅
Shawn, since the lower spots of the topography have been filled in by the previous lava flows, does it make sense that (and the volume of the eruption) contribute to this being the largest eruption by area so far?
This is incredible to view live or replay, from a world away. Thank you Shawn & NatureEye and all involved in making this possible. Ever since Mt St Helen's Eruption impacting my route from FL to NAS Whidbey, I've always been curious about volcanic activities from safety at home in Florida. I really enjoy viewing historic and active geological events. Thank you for teaching us about our planet! ❤
Thanks!
You also have Dimmuborgir, a former huge lava pool. If I remember right of what the professors (Stocholm University, Gothenburg University/Iceland University), it had filled more than once (we had to read a paper about this) and the wall had collapsed each time. This rootless volcano was fed from far away by lava tubes, which actually resulted in pilars (with the end of lava tubes in them) in the former pool. Around the huge pool was a wall that had formed from stiffen splatter. There was also a cooled roof, which had collapsed, giving a lot of bolders in places. The starting of the forming should have been the lava reaching a water filled fissure, and being cooled there, forming a barrier. The explanation at the information boards at this site tell a different story, which the professors said was erronious. In that version the pilars were ventilation pipes created when lava passed over a wet mire and forced steam upwards. Anyway, looking at satellite photos (Google Earth) a bit SE of Husavik, having passed over an elevation into a flatter area with a lot of (often water rich) fissures, there are a lot of round features, former lava pools. Many of these should be former rootless volcanoes (much larger than the rootless cones mentioned here, but much smaller than Dimmuborgir) and some perched lava ponds. On the satellite photos, one can also see ols lava channels, as well as a cone which has collapsed, resulting in an outflow. Those small spatter cone like features, could they also result from degassing above lava tubes? At the south end of Myvatn, there are explosive secondary cones resulting from lava flowing out across mire, or some wet landscape, giving explotions formimg cones. At least, I have been told this.
Greetings, Shawn. This was a particularly wonderful video. Thank you. Keep well.
Always a great watch
Interesting how the gas emissions are drawn into the spatter cone.

Fun! Now what kind of rock is that😂
Thanks!
Thanks!
I lived near there for many years, really enjoyed exploring the landscape and going to Copper Mtn college. There are petroglyphs near Johnson valley lava tubes that you can explore and so much more
Thanks!
thank you for the insight
Thanks!
Thanks
Road Cuts? Southbound Hwy 99. From Chico to Gridley? You drive right through an ancient lava flow. A few more just South of Chico. The lava flow is from the ancient Volcanic activity from Mt Tehama.
