Wow. People who were camping waiting for the new volcano to erupt were able to capture one of the fissures opening. Remarkable. I’ve wanted to see how this happens for years. Now we have video 🥰

I’ve wanted to see a fissure open like this ever since I read about the eruption of Parícutin. I had a book on volcanoes when I was about 8 that had a story about a farmer in Mexico ploughing a field and a fissure opened that became Parícutin. Now we have video of a similar event. Read about Parícutin on Wikipedia for more.

@ianRobinson Surprise! It's me, Magma!
@ianRobinson Whatever, dude. You don't fool me. You're obviously Lava.

@hosford42 @ianRobinson Dude you're on crack.

No seriously. You're.On.The.Crack

@ianRobinson is it too late to throw MAGA politicians in it?
@ianRobinson the irony is, they call this place Iceland
@resonancewright 😊 Let’s not even talk about Greenland…

@ianRobinson @aijaz Too bad there isn’t any audio, I as a blind person wonder what it sounds like. :(
@kevinrj @aijaz It was taken from a drone. So the propellers buzz would overwhelm any audio from the vent I think.
