Wow! That’s quite a list, Erik. Than you very much for your time invested in this project. Really helpfull!

WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE YELLOWSTONE MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS SEISMO?

@Gulliermo – Thanks for the info … that is exactly what I am seeking and will update accordingly.

@Erik
Thanks Erik, a useful list.
The Hotel Corsaro on Mount Etna lists all the Etna webcams:
http://www.hotelcorsaro.it/etna-webcams/?lan=english

I forgot thanks to the organisms and organizations that have the webcams.
The most I liked was the realtime cam at Chaitén, but the tv channel that has it only show it when anything important happens.

Don’t forget this!!

@Mots Fo
Check the Thanksgiving Breakout camera again when it’s daytime in Hawaii.

Tancos on January 24, 2011, 10:56 AM
so Thanksgiving eve breakout is a camera with a live shot and not a “film of a Thanksgiving eve breakout”??
i’m so old……argh!
Thanks for helping this old lady across the internet.
Best!motsfo

@Motsfo,

That’s ok. When it gets to daylight over there, you will be able to see something. I can’t guarentee what you will see, but it will be something. The TEB cam tends to have a lot of steam and fog so it is hard to see what is actually happening. However, you will be able to see almost how far it goes and where the flow pattern is from other areas that are streaming.

OT: When I was taking electron microscopy (learning how to be a tech on electron microscopes), I was on the scanning scope once and I was going through the list for turning it on. I kept getting the wrong pattern. I went through the list again, and again, and I still was getting the wrong pattern on the screen. I asked our lab tech what was wrong. He looked at it and said something like, this switch is in the wrong position. Duh! I kept looking at that switch and thinking it was in the right position when I went through the list. I was ~30 (I don’t remember now what year it was LOL) at the time so don’t feel bad. LOL Besides, those time zones can really make things interesting sometimes. :-)

Motsfo,

BTW, the Thanksgiving Eve Breakout is called that because a few years ago, it was a breakout the day before Thanksgiving in the flow to the sea and it has been flowing ever since. It is part of the Pu’u ’O’o system and is not too far from that flow. There were several breakouts at that time and the TEB was the one that kept going. They had labels on them: A, B, C, and D. The others stopped and the TEB kept going. There also, just prior to the TEB, a perched channel. It was a pahoe hoe flow with a levee on either side. That one flowed for quite a while. It was several years ago and I don’t remember exactly all the details. I do remember times when the lava would breach the “levee” and flow out of the channel. I bet if you check the images archive for several years back, you will find what I am talking about. They have a lot of neat pictures there.

@Motsfo,

I think they have plenty of pictures of it and I am not sure about a video of it. They may have. It wouldn’t surprise me if they do. I haven’t checked the archives for a long time so I don’t remember all I have seen. I know some of the photos are just awesome.

On Pu’u ’O’o, I don’t think they have zoomed in, though they maybe do for night time viewing. I also think they may zoom in to the Halemea’uma’u crater so we can see what is going on there better. It is quite deep so to really see the crater floor they do zoom in.

BTW, I have a friend who went to school with a gal that lives in Fairbanks. I got to meet her and she is a neat lady. She is probably 70 and uses an outhouse! (If I remember correctly! Ha!) I would love to go up there sometime and do some gold panning. She said they have places up there where they teach you all kinds of gold prospecting techniques. Of course, going to Alaska is like climbing Lassen again. May not be possible. :-)

Hello all:
Here is a link I found for volcano webcams. I can’t guarantee all the links but it should help.
http://www.skimountaineer.com/ROF/VolcanoWebCams.php

Lurking but avid reader,
Molly

@Molly: Oh wow, how did I miss that page? Looks like I have some updating to do later today! Thanks! I’ll also add the Kirishima webcams too.

You missed the picture web cameras of Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull.

http://www.simnet.is/jonfr500/earthquake/vefmyndaen.html

What a goldmine!!! Thanks a lot!

It is nice pics. <a href="http://www.friendsxdating.co.uk" target="_blank">friends dating</a>

@Erik
There is another list of webcams ( much less accurate and shorter than yours, thanks ever so much for your post today) and some cams on there are not on your list
http://www.earthmountainview.com/volcanos.html
I did not check if all work and some dont sound like they would be pointing to an active volcano, so maybe you dont want to add them.

@Birgit: Thanks for the links – I saw some of those when I was writing this up and many don’t seem to link to any webcam, but I will check again to make sure I didn’t miss any. I’ll add the additional Canary Island webcams, too!

What a joy!
Any lawyers on board?
I’ll need one in case I may be sued for spending all my time in front of a computer.

For those interested in climate change, there is an elucidating graph at Jeff Master’s blog about climate extremes in the US over the past century.

It seems we are still in the realm of normality. :)

Re: Aleksander Luneborg on January 24, 2011, 1:35 PM
Unfortunately, the links to webcams on this website are designed to work for users of Firefox or GoogleChrome Browsers only. The small remainder of us (over 70%) are excluded. I have found links – hopefully working – to
“Klyuchevsky(-oy vulkano, -aja supka) ":http://data.emsd.iks.ru/videokry/kly.jpg
and Shiveluch
that should be working in IE8.

What is a “webcam junkie”, something very bad? I’d rather be looking at volcano or wildlife webcams for hours than watching TV-shows for the same time. As I haven’t owned a TV for the last 15 years I am probably doomed to become a webcam junkie… :)

@ Mots Fo Wasn’t there an earthquake M5.1 in your area (Central Alaska, National Park) yesterday? I don’t know where you live, but if you can see Redoubt you might have felt the earthquake… have you?

@MRK

Ya know… I tend to plot stuff.

Sure, I can plot the North Atlantic Oscillation, the ENSO, the Sun Spot numbers… hell, I can even plot a comparison of how this sunspot cycle weights up against the average of the last 23 cycles… and it looks dismal, or puny.

But a much more entertaining plot, is a plot of NASA’s prediction for the level of the next Solar Max.

Not a plot of the Solar Max… a plot of the predictions. A time plot.. vs when the predictions were made.

Here ya go.

http://i52.tinypic.com/2v9yede.png

And since this a is a volcano blog… a volcano plot.

This is a plan view plot of all earthquakes at Grímsvötn since the 2004 eruption, magnitude ML 1.0 or higher, and using the boundaries in

http://hraun.vedur.is/ja/vatnajokulsvoktun/grf_uppsafn.html

It’s pretty much a plot of all quakes making up the red line.

@Randolph:
I saw your maps of the Southern Hemisphere and for me they look pretty much like a piece of evidence to enrich the “climate puzzle”.
Lurking’s plot on solar flares can be very telling and I do believe we don’t have access to all the data.
So, I do my best to try to understand what you and the rest of the world are talking about. And up to the present day Dr. Jeff Master had been someone whom we could trust. I remember how incisive he was just before Katrina hit and in many other instances. Why should he open a window for such a “weak” statement, if he doesn’t have his own convictions?
I believe you as much as I believe him, and I am sure that both of you have a point about this matter.
My question here is: do we have a debate or all of this is mere speculating from two opposite poles? The “warming” trend and the “cooling” one?
Do you really believe that scientists are being forced to say what they don’t believe, because of the interest of a few?
Thought this kind of stuff had been banned from the Western world and I am not talking about politics here. These guys will say anything to defend their votes. But real scientists? In the U.S.?
I am no expert in the climate debate, but, as a former Ecologist I should be up-to-date and try to open my ears to the healthy discussions.
Thanks for the feedback, and I hope you don’t mind my reasoning over this.

@al:
Sorry everyone for the OT comment, but I couldn’t resist adding some fuel to such interesting discussion. Probably, most of you are gazing at the many links to the Japanese volcanoes. I have a window always open to Sakura-jima!

@MotsFo:
I keep my ark in the garage in case something really bad may come. ;)

Erik: Perhaps a side bar “button” for each region/continent that, when clicked, open into a list of cameras/volcanoes. Because it will require even more of your time you could ask for a trusted volunteer with limited permissions from site host to manage the lists. I bet you bottom dollar the site host can make the pop-up windows for you, and even allow someone else to play “janitor” It doesn’t make them a contributor, just a helper with a specific task.

Hello Eric,

This is really great,
Thank you and the Volcanism Blog for the effort.

I have a suggestion.
WUWT has it’s reference pages in the header of it’s website.

Maybe you can make a button Volcano Web Cams in the header of your site for an easy access to this incredible list

Would be great to access a webcam the moment you you discuss a volcano at your site.

@Granyia It’s a shame they made it so limited. As I use firefox myself it never occurred to me. I find it pretty strange that they have such updated webcams, while the emsd, from which they clearly have gotten the feed, have not had an update since 2009. Oh, and nice links! It took a while before I realized that the jpg updates.

Here’s another webcam on Klyuchevskoy (which I believe is working on IE as well):
http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/video_camera/Klyu.html

The same page (KVERT) also has a cam on Gorely:
http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/video_camera/gorely/index.html

These are both more up to date than the Alaskan ones.

Looks as though the surface level of the lava in the vent at Halema’uma’u has fallen to the lowest level I’ve seen in quite a while. Sorry if I seem obsessed with this, but it is the only active volcano I’ve been to, and I go there regularly.

Hi Erik

Thanks for the armchair world tour. It is a magnificent collection of webcams. Only thing is, I’m not sure what I’m seeing for Eyaf camera 2. The tab says one thing and the title above the image says another. I’m not sure where it is, as ‘right click’ says something else.

Best wishes

Thanks Erik!

@Rod Coons, the lava level in Halema’uma’u is the same as before, but they have zoomed out the camera to capture the lava lake when it rises because otherwise it fills the complete image (it’s written in the frame just below the webcam image) :-D

No new activity at Etna, but quite vigorous activity these days at Stromboli.

OT: On temperature inversions, we are having them right now. What happens here is a fog layer, generally from a floor of about 300’ to a ceiling of about 700’ (there are times when it isn’t that bad) forms in the cental valley were the temp can be around 40F and the temp where I live will be 60-65F! That is because I will have nice sun and maybe a few high cirrus clouds floating by. I call it fog season for the valley. I used to live in Sacramento and I remember that cold, fog layer that would last for weeks. Sometimes, if it is thin enough, it will burn off by noon, and the temp can get up to 60F. It has been very dry here for almost two weeks and I am getting a bit worried because we need some more rain. I expect we will soon if the high pressure gets broken down.

In the summer, we get the same kind of inversion layer in the valley only it creates a sort of heat sink. It will be a low in the valley with a high on top of it that keeps the lid on. It is the same type of thing that keeps the fog layer there in the winter. The difference is it will be hotter in the valley than it is here, but sometimes it will be warmer up here. It just depends on what the highs and lows are doing.

I was reading a book once and they were talking about humid areas like the east coast and south and they mentioned Sacramento. The authors of that book didn’t really look at there weather. Sac is humid in winter with all the fog and when it is raining. In summer, the humidity can range from 15% to about 25%. If it gets up to 30%, as it can once in a while, we can really feel it. And it is nothing like the 70+% of the south and other areas!

Just a side note, just after the leaves finally came down, you can see the new buds already forming. So the poor trees don’t have much dormancy time.

This is the best place to watch Stromboli’s activity (which has calmed a bit since this morning but is still quite vigorous) is the thermal camera placed on top of the “Pizzo”, the peak overlooking the active craters.

Fun week – my take on the Yellowstone news lately.

@MRK, Lurking and all who replied to my question. Thank you. Very interesting

@Erik – somebody has already nicked your links. :) http://beforeitsnews.com/story/373/355/All_the_volcano_webcams_of_the_world.html Dreadful site but sometimes come across some interesting nuggets. I hope you don’t mind if I ‘borrow’ them too. I will, however, give you full credit as always.

@All: Thanks for all the new links! I’ll post updates as soon as I can this week. Keep them coming!

@Renato- I dont “know” one way or the other. Violent swings in the weather as we enter and leave patterns are not unusual. But so is a 4 foot snow fall at the 3000 foot in the Andes in 5 hours !

Same with the fish and animal kills on the Amazon. Never happened before. I could find that Perth and Australia got as cold as it has once before but that was over 300 years ago. Late springtime cattle kills of over 100,000 in New Zealand of the food stocks is pretty amazing. Is it a 40 year cycle, is it skewed data to make us feel good. Well when files are deliberately dumped in the UK I gotta question everything.

Jeff Masters is a Phd. and used to run with the hurricane hunters and he did NOT get it wrong at all in New Orleans. We were lucky it wasnt worse than it was. But it had happened before in the 50’s and there wasnt any whining about how the government let them down. It happened in the 30’s too. But does that mean that Masters is right about warming?

Let me put it this way. As you kinow from the hyped up movie industry that a shut off of the Thermohaline Circuit would be bad. Acid from volcanoes changes the water to “fresh” and it doesnt sink as the Ph changes. One possible cause. Another is heat melts ice packs. Well we have seen that recently. Another possible cause. Volcanoes toss crap into the atmosphere and its reflective and it starts a self perpetuating cycle that isnt interrupted. Yet another cause.

But, without valid and verifiable and PEER reviewed data neither side can take the high ground. The difference that turned me to a GC person was the original data I was cleared for on the satellites back when Bush II was handing it over to Clinton. Then the clearance was cancelled when I started questioning the “press releases” about GW when I was looking at GC in the places. Thats when they were outed by their own scientists.

The Ruskies-Well you meet a lot of people at embassies and at a party I met two of them and was asking what they thought. Well, now I am a GC because weather data is the one thing that was sent in raw form until recently by the Obama administration. Got a pass from the media about it. That was all she wrote until Climategate broke.

It for me would have been like Boris standing in front of a camera with Etna going off in the background and saying that its not erupting.

Lurk and Parclair are adept at sifting the sands and seeing what comes out of it and opinions change back and forth. But, its about volcanoes and their effects that come into question first, and their effects on the weather second.

As for the ark… Hmm. Not sure how I would manage if there was a pole flip and the crust started moving at say 200 miles an hour chasing it for proper alignment. Multiple strong poles might also pull the crust apart and let the water flood in.

A guy I know in geology said he thought it would make a 2 mile high tsunami.

Now that would ruin your day.

@lurk – 0>)….. The all seeing eye. The -46 was from a bubble of a high that slipped south from N. Canada. Was making it south for about two weeks at 50 per day. It just slid in, and now its sliding to the NE towards Greenland.

Its the SE edge of the cold air that the Nor’easter storm thats going to rip New England into snow shreds tomorrow.

A foot of snow in many places.

Remember…In an ice age it doesnt have to be super cold, just below
freezing at some temperature. Then the snow starts stacking up. It packs and makes ice. The ice is very slow to respond to heat except on the surface and with only 6-8 months between freezing temperatures that might be cut to only 5 months above freezing, you get a perpetuation… A tip over if you will.

That appears to be Shinmoe-dake, historically the most active of the Kirishima volcanoes. Interesting that it is erupting now.
