Did you guys see the new lava vent opening up in the foreground?
This thing is NOT slowing down...it's getting worse.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80176568 Yes I see it....just like that secondary opened yesterday and ate the main vent overnight....it's seeping even lower now. Eesh. Thinking on it, if the main was open and punched a hole through, then the secondary opened at a lower area...and now a third is chewing at the bottom of that...is this entire chunk one giant gaping hole under the cone debris from all the melt/harmonics? How wide, from top vent to bottom, would that even be? I'm picturing a crater the size of the old northern cone opening up. In this particular instance more vents are actually a good thing. The more vents we have the more gas and steam pressure are released vertically up and out of the wolcano, significantly reducing the probability of steam subduction under the western flank fault. In other words, less steam pressure equals less chance the slippage will happen, equals less chance of a cataclysmic meg-tsunami.
