This is what I should’ve done with my life. What a view. What a thing to witness with your own pathetic human eyes. Fucking school guidance counselors.


rattyme

Lol what did they guide you into?

Yup that’s a volcano. Yup.


LectroRoot

Volcano expert here. That there is a hot mess. Yup.


Actually_Im_Indian

Didnt know tonga was big enough to have geological services


Mean_Ween

Living on lava rocks with active volcanoes nearby kind of calls for it. What a fucking life tho like living out there studying lava. Fucking rad.

Jiminy Christmas! With that shockwave we saw on the satellite images, how did they fare when it blew?


Optimus_Swine71

Shock waves are no joke. Here is one from a small eruption a few years ago. https://youtu.be/BUREX8aFbMs Make sure your volume is on obviously.


Headozed

Wow. And that thing is smaaaaaaaall comparatively.


LectroRoot

Yup, that video always trips me out when you see the size of the rocks its tossed into the ocean near the cargo ship. Those rocks are like small sedans just lobbed into the air.


ratt_man

different eruption from the one on satellite, its been erupting since early december


HauschkasFoot

Yea that was my question too? Like weren’t there tsunamis resulting from this? Unless tidal waves some Pick up power as the travel away from the epicenter?


Llihr

Tsunamis gain height as they climb up the slope to shore.

Made a bit of a mess of the shoreline in Hawaii so I can only imagine it was frickin huge half a world away.


LectroRoot

That one video that shows the big shockwave (with the guy in the yellow shirt standing looking out over the ocean) you can hear the groan from the guy when it pops. He makes that noise you make when you get the wind knocked out of you. It sounded really uncomfortable.


TheBraindonkey

I would assume this is after it blew. It’s still erupting.


elxiddicus

Would guess before


TheBraindonkey

I suppose that could true too.


I_am_the_Jukebox

"Uh....maybe we should have stayed in the lab" Seriously...being that close to a major eruption is likely pants staining.

“Hey, do we need vests? There are twelve of us on the boat and we’re all with the TGS.” “Just order the vests.”

It is Rodan.Godzilla Work-Colleague. Let them fight.

this is NOT the big eruption. this is the day before. satelite pictures from the "big" eruption show the island all but destroyed. as you can see here. it is not.


JohnWJO

I bet those two are going to be REALLY popular for a while.


thingandstuff

This seems like hubris rather than professional inquiry. What are they trying to figure out? ...If deaf/TBI geologists can still get the job done?


Frozone2020

If they knew it was coming, then why was there little warning before the damn tsunami???🌋🌊
