The NEBRASKA VOLCANO may be waking up !!!!
Bet you didn't know there was volcanic activity in Nebrask.


Nebraska Volcano

The Famous Burning Hill

Quiet since 1878

Again Breathing Fire

Ponca. Neb.—The famous burning hill on the Missouri river, twelve miles above here, has burst into flame again, the first sign it has made since 1878.

Steam is escaping from the crevices, and the combustion is so fierce as to bring the interior to a red heat. Flames issue from some of the fissures, and the mysterious noises so terrifying to the Indians have been resumed.

The breaking out afresh of the burning hill has been reported to the University of Nebraska, and a geological party will soon make an excursion to the spot.

The bluff upon which the phenomenon is observed is near Ionia, on the south bank of the river. It is mentioned in Huse's History of Nebraska as having been seen by Lewis and Clarke in their famous expedition up the Missouri river. These travelers said that the blazing hill had been known to the Indians from time immemorial, and had been regarded with much superstitious fear. Evil manitous were supposed to dwell in the sumptuous fires, and many strange legends clung: about the spot.

The volcano is believed to be due to the peculiar formation of the rock, which is of carbonate of lime mingled with innumerable crystals of bisulphate of iron or iron pyrites. The decomposition of the component parts is credited with bringing about the violent chemical action. This interesting spot attracted wide attention about a quarter of a century ago and was visited by many scientists.

In 1878 the Missouri river undermined the bluff, and it fell into the water. The strange fires were quenched and the rumbling in the earth was heard no more.

This week's 3.3 mag earthquake in Nebraska really caught my attention!!

As did this article about animals being killed by ash fall in Nebraska.

Anybody else have an uneasy feeling about this ? 1dunno1

If it is not to dangerous might make a good energy source. Thermal heat can be use for energy.

There we go! Now we can actually talk about this without depending on shady links.

My opinion is that this is a normal geological event and will become a lucrative tourist attraction.

If there really was a volcano in Nebraska, it would be the only interesting thing there.
Drove through and never saw a single hill.
My windshield got plastered by a million beetles though.
