Where I am supposed to be.
WOW....we don't need more ash!!!! when I searched for "how many volcanoes are erupting right now", this link pops up....however, when I click on it, it says....
"The service is unavailable". I tried on 3 different browsers....lol. I don't think they want us to know exactly how many are ready to blow!

Those are good questions, Blue. Unfortunately it's been decades since I followed them with any seriousness, and I've forgotten most of what I once knew. Biggest fear for most of us, iirc, if we're not directly underneath the ash, would be the changes to the weather that they could bring, and thus to our food supply and temperatures.

At any given time, about 10-20 volcanoes are erupting on average, and it could be imagined that this number sometimes peaks to about 30-50 erupting volcanoes (on land). Many more than that is very unlikely.

Edgar Cayce suggested that three of them were worth watching as indications of imminent earth change

Three volcanoes are mentioned in the Cayce readings as having what can be called "indicator" functions for warning people of upcoming, historically unprecedented Earth changes. The Mt. Etna area in Sicily, along with other portions of the Mediterranean area, will experience "sinking or rising" of Earth's crust. This will indicate the beginning of significant "changes in the Earth's activity." Also, Mt. Vesuvius, in Italy, and Mt. Pelée, on the Caribbean island of Martinique, are to be watched for "greater activities." When such activities occur at one or the other of these volcanoes, they will indicate that the southern coast of California -- and areas between Salt Lake and the southern portions of Nevada -- will experience, within three months, "an inundation by the earthquakes."

Japan is one of the world's most volcanically active countries (AFP/Handout)
Japan's Mount Aso erupted Wednesday, spewing a giant column of ash thousands of metres into the sky as hikers rushed away from the popular tourist spot.
No injuries were immediately reported after the late-morning eruption of the volcano in southwest Japan, which sent rocks flying in a dramatic blast captured by nearby CCTV cameras.
Authorities warned people not to approach the volcano as it ejected hot gas and ash as high as 3,500 metres (11,500 feet), and sent stones tumbling down its grassy slopes.

For those near the mountain, "caution must be exercised for large flying rocks and flows of pyroclastic materials", Japan Meteorological Agency official Tomoaki Ozaki told a televised press conference.
The last time the JMA set the same warning level for Aso was when it erupted in 2016, having rumbled to life the previous year after being dormant for 19 years.
The latest eruption came after a small one on Thursday, Kyodo News said.
Japan is one of the world's most volcanically active countries.
It sits on the so-called Pacific "Ring of Fire" where a large proportion of the planet's quakes and volcanic eruptions are recorded.
In September 2014, Japan suffered its deadliest eruption in almost 90 years when Mount Ontake, in central Nagano prefecture, burst unexpectedly to life, killing an estimated 63 people.

The Above Video was taken from the Aso Volcano Museum which is 1,865 m from the main crater of the volcano. Luckily the winds pushed the pyroclastic flow and the ash from the eruption away and people were able to get out without problems. #Japan #Erupcion #mountaso #LaPalma

Mount #Aso is immersed within a gigantic caldera 19 km wide by 22 km high that formed after several Ancient cataclysmic eruptions.. Also the island of Kyushu was formed as a result of them.

Yep, contributes to the Grand Solar Minimum. Lots of ash in the atmosphere reduces sunlight, cools temperatures.

High-level eruption at Manam volcano, ash to 15.2 km (50 000 feet) a.s.l., P.N.G.



A powerful eruption started at Manam volcano, Papua New Guinea at around 22:40 UTC on October 19, 2021, ejecting ash up to 15.2 km (50 000 feet) above sea level. The Aviation Color Code was raised to Red.
At 00:00 UTC on October 20, ash was reported rising up to 15.2 km (50 000 feet) a.s.l., with another plume to 10.6 km (35 000 feet) a.s.l.1

Neither here nor there.
Right! I am thinking the same. Have read several articles on the year 1816 after Mt. Tambora deposited ash. They called it the "year without summer". Also called it a volcanic winter. We don't need that either. Hopeful, prayerful and very worried.

Of this you can be assured the leftists will take advantage with their green deal climate change junk science and try to enslave every last one of us!

So! We've got another new volcano erupting: this time, it's Mount Aso, in Western Japan. Got questions? Here are some answers. A short thread:

View: https://twitter.com/SquigglyVolcano/status/1450712015564062722?s=20


Mount Aso is a rather epic-size volcano, 24km across. According to the Global Volcanism Program, this often viridian bowl was carved out during four massive explosive eruptions from 300,000 to 90,000 years ago.

View: https://twitter.com/SquigglyVolcano/status/1450712017661317123?s=20


These were huge eruptions. Superheated "avalanches" of ash and noxious gas known as pyroclastic flows, and ashfall, covered vast swaths of the mainland island of Kyushu, on which Aso is situated. It definitely has a very violent history.

It is, today, rather beautiful. Within this bowl, or caldera, you can find 17 individual volcanic cones—the remnants of old eruptions. I've hiked through them, and flown over them. It's quite the sight!

View: https://twitter.com/SquigglyVolcano/status/1450712025819140096?s=20


That peak in those photographs? That's Nakadake, the central-ish pit—and the volcano's active crater. Here's the view from a helicopter.

View: https://twitter.com/SquigglyVolcano/status/1450712031200489473?s=20


Nakadake has been active for ages now—eruptions from this spot have been frequent in the last 12,000 years. Typically, you get plenty of ash being generated and cough-like explosions, where slugs of trapped gas violently pop when they reach the surface.

Most of the time, these eruptions are (by volcanic standards) moderate and short-lived (days/weeks). This area is, for Japan, not densely populated. Although pyroclastic flows coming down the slopes here would be frightening, people are, in general, far enough from harm's way.

I'm not sure exactly when, but in the last couple of hours or so, another of these blasts happened at Nakadake. You can see it on this webcam footage, courtesy of the nearby Aso Volcano Museum.

View: https://twitter.com/SquigglyVolcano/status/1450712037152239616?s=20


The risk, at present, is that more explosions could send volcanic debris into the air and which could land on anyone within an approximately 1km radius. Pyroclastic flows could also bubble over the crater rim and pour downslope.

The authorities have closed the volcano off to the public for this very reason. The hope, too, is that there were no climbers near Nakadake when the explosion took place, but so far there have been no reports of any casualties.

For now, this is one to keep an eye on—nothing grim so far, just the largest active volcano in Japan doing its thing.

I know what you're thinking: La Palma, Iceland, Kīlauea, Aso...why are so many volcanoes erupting at once? What is going on? Answer: nothing. It's a coincidence.

Roughly 20-60 volcanoes are erupting at any one moment in time, but we only notice the ones the general new media show us—and they happen to be the ones near people, i.e. the ones that can cause harm.

And when there is a highly destructive or otherwise threatening eruption near people – like the one in La Palma – other eruptions that would not normally get reported on do get general news coverage because public interest in volcanoes is heightened.

So don't worry, Earth ain't doing anything bizarre right now. It's just blowing off some steam, as it always has done. End!

RT 4:02

The Mount Aso volcano started a new eruption on October 20th, 2021. Over the span of 8 minutes, a large explosive eruption at the main crater occurred, creating pyroclastic flows which traveled several kilometers and ejecting small amounts of lava. However, the eruption is not over, and larger explosions could occur in the next several days to weeks. This video will cover what might happen next, and state the series of events which led to this explosive eruption.

Except there is strong evidence that sunspots have some effect... and historically, solar minimums increase volcanic activity.

With all these popping off, I'm thinking that this winter will be one to remember.

Hopefully not like the ones that caused - The Little Ice Age. Scientists have said it was caused by four huge tropical volcanic eruptions. It is to thought to have started as early as 1275 AD and caused cooling that lasted five hundred years.

Tropical volcanoes caused Little Ice Age claim

Makes the American Communist Demon-crats cries of man made global warming pale in comparison to what just four volcanic eruptions caused for sure doesn't it?

article doesn't tell us which tropical volcanoes erupted thus causing the little ice age. One guess would be Tonga, and maybe Tambora or Krakatau, and maybe Mt. Pinatubo. But where there any in the atlantic ocean region that also erupted?

Pelee is in the Caribbean. It's had some unusual earthquake activity this year, but nothing that says it's going to blow in the coming weeks, AFAIK.

I've never seen actual volcanoes named; but I've probably not seen anything more recent that '12 or so, maybe they've learned something.

Aso volcano (Kyushu Isl., Japan): sudden large explosion this morning
Wed, 20 Oct 2021, 06:53

Explosion from Aso's Nakadake crater this morning (image: screenshot of RKK video)

Explosion from Aso's Nakadake crater this morning (image: screenshot of RKK video)
A strong explosion occurred this morning, at around 11:43 local time, from the volcano.
During a phase of intense steam emissions, suddenly an explosion occurs that sends a large column of ash to several kilometers height as well as a dense, ground-hugging circular base surge that almost reaches the visitors'center. On the following embedded video, large ballistic projectiles can be seen ejected from the center of the explosion and landing in several hundred meter distance as well.
From the appearance of the eruption, it looks most likely as a phreatic type explosion, or steam-driven, as a larger pocket of overheated water under the crater suddenly flashed to steam and decompressed in the process, generating lots of block and ash fragments as well as dense and heavy turbulent mixtures that are seen rising and spreading from the center.
