I saw that the A-Z was streaming many hours ago. But, I had to take a nap. I always watch. Years now.
Kyle McLachlan being a fan of Nick Zentner’s geology videos is one of the nerdiest Washington deep-cuts I can imagine, and I am LOVING it.

Based upon the hotspot track, this is logical.
But, it will not erupt for some time because there is no building magma chamber there yet. It is quiet.
Speaking of the hotspot track, this is timely.

Nick Zentner is a Washington State treasure.
His various videos for PBS and the wealth of YouTube content are a gem for any and all wanting to learn more about geology.
Also, if you're in Ellensburg, WA be sure to stop in at Vinman's Bakery!
Seriously regretting my life choices right now.
I knew all this before, but now being able to go, “oh, shit, that ridge I always pass on the freeway was pushed 20 feet in the air in a SINGLE EARTHQUAKE?” and “that beach park I went to was formed because of a tsunami?”
Nick Zentner is a badass #SciComm wizard…but his excited smile after infodumping the above made me start yelling at my TV. 😝
