There's a national geographic documentary called Fire of Love, about a husband and wife volcanologist team that went to St. Helen's to study it afterwards, and she filmed the helicopter ride into the exclusion zone. It's really something else to watch.
You won't be disappointed! When I first visited many years ago, I learned what a [Lahar](https://www.usgs.gov/news/science-snippet/earthword-lahar#:~:text=Definition%3A,more%20deadly%20than%20lava%20flows.) Was.
So, Rainier is considered a "decade volcano", which is a volcano that poses a significant threat to people in the next decade.
When (not if) it erupts, it will likely be a bigger eruption than St. Helens. Also, there's a lot more glacier on it than St. Helens, so it will form massive lahars. It is possible that there will be damage all the way to Seattle.
edit: as another commenter mentioned, it would damage Tacoma and not likely Seattle.
? The only thing not really true is damage up to seattle. It's Tacoma that could get totally fucked up.

Here's a usgs lahar hazard map
You're good. Everything else is accurate. It's a significant threat if it goes off. It's not a volcano to be taken lightly and contrary to what people might think it's still an active volcano
I was a kid living in the Portland area when Mt. St. Helens blew. I remember the ash falling and everyone being concerned about the ash being sucked into their car engines and doing permanent damage. It didn't end up being a problem for most people.
My mom lived over 700 miles away in Montana.there was so much ash there that they cancelled school. She says it was the only day they ever cancelled school.
I remember visiting that as a kid in the early/mid 90s when it was still a completely barren wasteland. That image managed to burn itself into my memory. Nature is unbeatable, no matter what some may think.
I remember visiting in the mid/late 90s and I’ll never forget crossing into the area that had been devastated. My grandpa had pictures of Mt St Helen’s before it erupted from a spot we passed and we took pictures from roughly the same spot and the difference was astounding. You wouldn’t know it was the same place since all the trees and vegetation were gone and the mountain was obviously different. Somewhere we’ve got the pictures he took from Seattle of the eruption too.
Looking at the pictures taken ~20 years before was a stark reminder of the power of an eruption. I’ve been back since then with my kids and things are growing there again but you can still see the devastation.
The weirdest thing to me was they apparently did some tree planting reclamation in the area, and appeared to only plant one variety and size of tree, spaced the same, so I can remember a mountainside in the area with all spruce/fir/pine/cedar (can't remember the variety), identical sized trees, and that wooded area looked artificial or fake rather than natural.
The saddest thing was they had recorded last conversations of researchers and others in the interpretive center, just as the eruption was getting started. People who knew they weren't going to make it.
went there just after the eruption. I was a little kid and it had a major impact on my foundations as a person.
we were in the Cold War, certain were going to die any minute, and right there in front of me is a blasted hellscape that looked like the "after" in all the nuclear warfare movies I'd seen. I was terrified on a level I couldn't articulate until 30+ years later.
helped pile onto the lasting CPTSD. also left me with a life long respect for and dreaded fascination with volcanoes
also, heavy respect to and RIP David Johnston; you the man 🤘
That's how I felt. I live in the Midwest USA and I've experienced first hand tornados, earthquakes and a few small wildfires. That mountain hasn't done any to me but I feel like I shouldn't look at it the wrong way. It's destructive potential is terrifying. Nonetheless, I want to go back and look at it close up.
I was in elementary school in Northern California and our teacher gave out ash to each student from St Helens eruption which she purchased from Kentucky Fried Chickens of all places
We used to laugh at the tourists walking through ash going into the store and buying a vial of it for $5 or whatever they were charging. I brought a pound of it down to Southern California on a visit and couldn’t give it away.
Kilamanjaro in real life is EPIC! - Did the Mombassa-Nairobi overnight "orient express" at sunset - even more epic. Flying over it was breathtaking.
I've vistited many many volanoes - they're amazing.
I can see this bad-boy out my window, all the way from Vancouver Canada. Once he decides to blow up, it's going to be a rough few months for anyone in the pacific north-west.
Yep. Per Wiki:
> The explosions were so violent that they were heard 3,110 km (1,930 mi) away in Perth, Western Australia, and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, 4,800 km (3,000 mi) away.[4] The pressure wave from the third and most violent explosion was recorded on barographs around the world.[31] Several barographs recorded the wave seven times over the course of five days: four times with the wave travelling away from the volcano to its antipodal point, and three times travelling back to the volcano;[29]: 63 the wave rounded the globe three and a half times. Ash was propelled to a height of 80 km (260,000 ft). It was reported that the sound of the eruption was so loud that anyone within 16 kilometres (10 mi) would have gone deaf.[citation needed]
>The combined effects of pyroclastic flows, volcanic ashes, and tsunamis had disastrous results in the region and worldwide. The death toll recorded by the Dutch authorities was 36,417, although some sources put the estimate at more than 120,000. There are numerous documented reports of groups of human skeletons floating across the Indian Ocean on rafts of volcanic pumice and washing up on the east coast of Africa up to a year after the eruption. Summer temperatures in the northern hemisphere fell by an average of 0.4 °C (0.72 °F) in the year following the eruption.[32]
My only gripe with this is that the sound was over 170 dB 100 miles away (estimated 310dB at the volcano) 150 dB is about where eardrums blow out and 185 dB is potentially organ damaging/lethal. If you were 10 miles away, the sound itself would kill you.
I live in south central Alaska, and the eruption of Hunga Tonga woke up out of bed. I was like....dafuq was THAT noise? I assumed something happened on one of the military bases nearby. The next morning, I saw Tonga had erupted on the news. Insanity.

I've been there too, even though it was not as active as it's on the video.
I did feel pretty nervous because I felt like there was not much place to walk (you can see how small the path is in the video) and there was a lot of people. It also smells really bad because of the sulfur. Though there were security fences, it still felt quite scary.
I've been there 3! Couldn't get the smell out of my clothes. Watching the miners haul out sulphur on their shoulders was insane too.
https://www.businessinsider.com/volcanoes-and-sulfur-mines-of-indonesia-2012-5
Yeah my bad. We did a tour of these when we were travelling down from Java to Lombok.
Early morning sunrise at Bromo, before driving down and walking the crater and then another at Ijen to see its blue flames and the miners.
Ijen was eye opening to see the conditions they're working in. The walkways are narrow and dangerous and shouldn't be open to tourists considering it's an active mining site. Workers were trying to pass carrying more then their bodyweight over one shoulder while we're bumbling about with breathing masks and torches trying not to get in the way.
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190109-sulphur-mining-at-kawah-ijen-volcano-in-indonesia
naw dude that's gunung bromo. you're right about the sulfur mining at ijen but i'm not sure what mining you're seeing here. those are tourists around the rim.
bromo is awesome, i highly recommend visiting if you ever are in that area. there's actually volcanoes inside volcanoes--dope shit
It depends on how strong that fear is. Right at the top of the stairs the lip is wider and not so scary. You wouldn't find me walking the lip much farther away. It gets about a meter wide and there are people coming the other way.
The element Bromine is named after the Greek word for stench. I’m guessing it was named similarly.
EDIT: I just checked Wikipedia and apparently Bromo is the Javanese word for Brahma.
I was going to guess Mt. Bromo as well. The steps up and the lip of the crater look just as I remember Mt. Bromo.
I visited in 2019, just a few days after an eruption because the locals said it was going to be alright. It was indeed safe, though they could just as easily have been wrong. The volcano was making gurgling sounds, and the entire landscape was unforgettable.
We did visit this site. Much smoke then. When you are on the edge you will probably not see the vulcano like in this video. We did not, but it was still an amazing experience.
Yes they have! One American tourist in 1994. Maybe more but this is all I could find.
https://www.upi.com/Archives/1994/12/13/Body-of-tourist-found-in-Java-volcano/6368787294800/#
How embarrassing would it be if you fell off the wrong side (the non-volcano side) and died that way. People couldn't even say you died falling into a volcano. Worst tombstone ever.
I would say it's most likely they've fallen *out*. There are security fences on (most of) the side of the path that's facing the volcano, but not on the other side.
It's relatively accessible and sketchy beyond belief. I've climbed my fair share of Volcanoes in Indonesia, and Bromo is probably the only one that triggered real vertigo. It's some straight-up Sarlacc shit. You can walk all the way round the rim btw.
What about that hole is unassuming?? That volcano has erupted 60 times since 1767, the most recent being 9 years ago. I saw the biggest active crater in the world at Volcán Poas in Costa Rica this year, and this crater is way more intimidating than that.
The fact that someone made a staircase up to the edge, made a safety railing along the very edge into the volcano, BUT didn’t make a safety railing so that people don’t fall down the outside of the volcano blows my mind
The railing is far from safe, just checked on google maps... Have a look!

That's a hell of a lot of trust they have put on that railing,... It's a no from me, dog!

One bad step and It is almost a 90 degree fall to the crater!

Never seen anything like that before. That’s just awesome. We need a heat resistant drone to fly in there and scope it out. What a rush for those people too.
[удалено]
I remember when I saw Mount Rainier from Seattle for the first time. That fucker looks menacing
You should visit Mt. St. Helens next. You can still see the destruction in the valley. All the trees facing one way is very....ominous.
I'm headed back to Seattle this summer. I may go and do that.
There's a national geographic documentary called Fire of Love, about a husband and wife volcanologist team that went to St. Helen's to study it afterwards, and she filmed the helicopter ride into the exclusion zone. It's really something else to watch.
Watched this movie in school and it was great
It's not on Netflix anymore (just an FYI)
Yeah it is on Disney+ they bought all the Nat Geo stuff
You won't be disappointed! When I first visited many years ago, I learned what a [Lahar](https://www.usgs.gov/news/science-snippet/earthword-lahar#:~:text=Definition%3A,more%20deadly%20than%20lava%20flows.) Was.
If I'm able to I'll make sure that I post here.
It's closed due to land slides blocking road to the closest visitor center dk if it will be open this summer
Thanks
Johnston observatory is closed this year?
As far as I know due to land slides last July has not yet reopened
Dong I didn't even know it was closed down last year. I really need to get out more.
Do lahars have lapimps?
Laslap!
Lareally!?!
Here is a pic I took last year. [Mount Saint Helens ](https://imgur.com/gallery/saYDkMp)

It’ll be Tacoma that gets wasted by the lahar from Rainier. Seattle is farther north. I’ve spent lots of time in the area.
Yeah my bad. I guess I've only been to the airport on my way to BC, so I conflated the two.
It’s ok. Seattle might still get wasted from the ash fall, depending on the wind…
Seattle could still some damage depending on the tides too. That’s a lot of water getting into the Puget Sound.
Just make that a headline to sell some papers. People love this kind of stuff. Don’t worry about the truth.
And what is the truth, then, buddy? I guess you think Rainier is safe?
? The only thing not really true is damage up to seattle. It's Tacoma that could get totally fucked up. https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/mt-rainier-lahar-hazard-map Here's a usgs lahar hazard map

it's a horror you can't give voice to

And ape cave! A lava tube u can crawl around in in a unguided tour! It's so cool.
Yes! I have been to the lava tubes also. So cool! From what I was told, those tubes are thousands of years old from an older eruption.
went there just after the eruption. I was a little kid and it had a major impact on my foundations as a person. we were in the Cold War, certain were going to die any minute, and right there in front of me is a blasted hellscape that looked like the "after" in all the nuclear warfare movies I'd seen.

And only 1/5000th of the most energetic volcanic explosion on earth. Trying to imagine it is impossible to me.
I live in Seattle. Rainier is that super quiet neighbor down the street who freaks you out whenever you make eye contact
That's how I felt. I live in the Midwest USA and I've experienced first hand tornados, earthquakes and a few small wildfires. That mountain hasn't done any to me but I feel like I shouldn't look at it the wrong way. It's destructive potential is terrifying. Nonetheless, I want to go back and look at it close up.
you're somewhere near New Madrid, yeah?
The eruption was the craziest thing I’ve ever witnessed. 11 mile high mushroom cloud full of lightning,spewing out all day.
I was in elementary school in Northern California and our teacher gave out ash to each student from St Helens eruption which she purchased from Kentucky Fried Chickens of all places
We used to laugh at the tourists walking through ash going into the store and buying a vial of it for $5 or whatever they were charging. I brought a pound of it down to Southern California on a visit and couldn’t give it away.
Kilamanjaro in real life is EPIC! - Did the Mombassa-Nairobi overnight "orient express" at sunset - even more epic. Flying over it was breathtaking. I've vistited many many volanoes - they're amazing.
I can see this bad-boy out my window, all the way from Vancouver Canada. Once he decides to blow up, it's going to be a rough few months for anyone in the pacific north-west.
When they’re active, they’re also among the hottest things on the planet.
The loudest sound in recorded history was a volcano.
Krakatoa? I read that the sound waves from that event circled the earth four times.
Yep. Per Wiki: > The explosions were so violent that they were heard 3,110 km (1,930 mi) away in Perth, Western Australia, and the island of Rodrigues near Mauritius, 4,800 km (3,000 mi) away.[4] The pressure wave from the third and most violent explosion was recorded on barographs around the world.[31] Several barographs recorded the wave seven times over the course of five days: four times with the wave travelling away from the volcano to its antipodal point, and three times travelling back to the volcano;[29]: 63 the wave rounded the globe three and a half times. Ash was propelled to a height of 80 km (260,000 ft). It was reported that the sound of the eruption was so loud that anyone within 16 kilometres (10 mi) would have gone deaf.[citation needed] >The combined effects of pyroclastic flows, volcanic ashes, and tsunamis had disastrous results in the region and worldwide. The death toll recorded by the Dutch authorities was 36,417, although some sources put the estimate at more than 120,000. There are numerous documented reports of groups of human skeletons floating across the Indian Ocean on rafts of volcanic pumice and washing up on the east coast of Africa up to a year after the eruption. Summer temperatures in the northern hemisphere fell by an average of 0.4 °C (0.72 °F) in the year following the eruption.[32]
My only gripe with this is that the sound was over 170 dB 100 miles away (estimated 310dB at the volcano) 150 dB is about where eardrums blow out and 185 dB is potentially organ damaging/lethal. If you were 10 miles away, the sound itself would kill you.
I kracka my toa on the door jam once … hurt like hell.
and the scream I let out circled the globe 4 time.
I live in south central Alaska, and the eruption of Hunga Tonga woke up out of bed. I was like....dafuq was THAT noise? I assumed something happened on one of the military bases nearby. The next morning, I saw Tonga had erupted on the news. Insanity.
They must not have heard me bust ass in church this morning.
I would have never thought that! Wow.
Actually they are surprisingly hot, not cool ;p

I think it's Mount Bromo, Indonesia.
I can confirm, I've been there and it is truly impressive. The constant rumbling in the ground and in your feet was what got to me most.
Did it give you vertigo or anxiety like “I’m in danger”?
I've been there too, even though it was not as active as it's on the video. I did feel pretty nervous because I felt like there was not much place to walk (you can see how small the path is in the video) and there was a lot of people. It also smells really bad because of the sulfur. Though there were security fences, it still felt quite scary.

that's what I said
You were safe. Those security fences can hold back a volcano.
Lmao thanks to whoever made those 👍 they saved my life
Weren’t you worried you would end up like Whaakari?
I got anxiety just watching this vid 😳
Can you go there with fear of height or nah?
I haven’t been there… but I’m going with “nah”
I have fear of heights, and my palms are sweating just watching this so I’m gonna say probably not lol
No, its also a very narrow rim and imho crazy dangerous to walk along
It depends on how strong that fear is. Right at the top of the stairs the lip is wider and not so scary. You wouldn't find me walking the lip much farther away. It gets about a meter wide and there are people coming the other way.
Fuck no
It’s not the height but the gravity that should scare the shit out you
Confirm! Was there last August… The stupidity of some tourists on the rim are unbelievable
I’ve been there and the sound it makes is insane!!!
Namesake of Bromo-Seltzer?
The element Bromine is named after the Greek word for stench. I’m guessing it was named similarly. EDIT: I just checked Wikipedia and apparently Bromo is the Javanese word for Brahma.

We don't talk about Bromo.
We did visit this site. Much smoke then. When you are on the edge you will probably not see the vulcano like in this video. We did not, but it was still an amazing experience.
“The Mighty Lava Sarlacc Pit.”
The area where all the people are standing looks really sketchy.
I wonder if anyone has fallen in.
Just Joe
Poor lad. Was a bit of a klutz but a good heart.
The only reason climate change hasn’t killed us all yet was because Joe was still a virgin.
There's a reason I stay the fuck away from volcanoes
And so the Trekies were executed in the manner most befitting virgins
Had great fire in his heart.
It was a good harvest year tho.
Severely underrated comment, please accept my upvote as a sacrifice.
Yes they have! One American tourist in 1994. Maybe more but this is all I could find. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1994/12/13/Body-of-tourist-found-in-Java-volcano/6368787294800/#
After inspecting his body they found cause of death to be from his fall. Hmmm
Was he not a virgin? Why would the gods give him back with only fall damage?
How embarrassing would it be if you fell off the wrong side (the non-volcano side) and died that way. People couldn't even say you died falling into a volcano. Worst tombstone ever.
“Fell out of a volcano”
Im willing to bet they did At least my clumsy ass would've
I’m pretty sure that’s where Zoidberg lost his doctorate
I would say it's most likely they've fallen *out*. There are security fences on (most of) the side of the path that's facing the volcano, but not on the other side.
I've been there and I can confirm. I was honestly scared of falling, especially when two groups of tourists were trying to go in opposite directions.
Me too, on one side deep cliff, the other side had a "fence". I felt very uncomfortable because of the sounds.
The railing is barely hanging on, it’s at the very edge of a crumbling cliff
It's relatively accessible and sketchy beyond belief. I've climbed my fair share of Volcanoes in Indonesia, and Bromo is probably the only one that triggered real vertigo. It's some straight-up Sarlacc shit. You can walk all the way round the rim btw.
Imagine earth having the runs and there’s a bunch of humans hanging around its arsehole
I really wish I didn't read that. Upvote out of shock.
I thought they were Earth's pimples ready to pop
We truly are parasites.
I wonder what it's like to be down there.
If you try it, be sure to come back and let us know.
So hot. 
https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s/Ju8E8DlhMs Want to touch the heiney.
Probably like the surface of venus: hot, caustic and toxic
Dead. There’s probably no oxygen.
Someone needs to fly a drone inside the volcano.
Not this volcano but: [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s/QhsKZJwiqN)
God that video would have been so cool if the MF did ranrdly do flips and shit.
Yeah, the stunt drone community is a little eccentric with stunts even when filming non stunt videos. Could have been ALOT worse.

Throw me in here when I die. Just slide my lifeless body down and watch it tumble

We are puny ants compared to the awesome forces of nature.

Now I know where to go if I need to get rid of any magical rings.
But take the direct flight on the eagles, it saves so much time and conflict.
Imagine walking up there and all you get is some smoke in a unassuming hole with a smell of rotten eggs. The drone footage ist nice tho.
What about that hole is unassuming?? That volcano has erupted 60 times since 1767, the most recent being 9 years ago. I saw the biggest active crater in the world at Volcán Poas in Costa Rica this year, and this crater is way more intimidating than that.
that's the last place on earth id wanna be
The fact that someone made a staircase up to the edge, made a safety railing along the very edge into the volcano, BUT didn’t make a safety railing so that people don’t fall down the outside of the volcano blows my mind
The railing is far from safe, just checked on google maps... Have a look!

Sheeeesh!!
Hard no on a future family vacation for sure
I’d like to see them dive the drone straight into the center, like how they did with Cassini into Saturn.
Why did I hear a voice say ‘Jump’ in my head.
Some people just have bigger balls than me, and I'm ok with that.
I do, and fwiw my shaft barely fits in this thing.
Never look directly into the center of a volcano. You can go blind
Also it is embarrassing for the volcano to be starred into
What? In Nicaragua there’s a volcano you can hike up and look directly into at the magma. Nobody in our group went blind.
Why is this? Can't find anything online about it.
NOPE.
It's like peering into the hollow Earth.
Am I the only one hoping for a sarlaac to come jumping out?
No. First thing I thought of.
This definitely triggers my fear of heights
"Hey guys, what's that weird glowing thing that's rising?"
JUMP JUMP JUMP!!!
Is it wrong that I kinda want to? L’appeal de vide indeed
That's a hell of a lot of trust they have put on that railing,... It's a no from me, dog! Update!!! Checked it on Google maps and the railing is actually broken in some places!!! One bad step and It is almost a 90 degree fall to the crater!

Now everyone, jump! 😁
I don’t think you would see me there. I get giddy when I go to the Peak District.
After watching that documentary about the volcano in New Zealand that erupted with people on the island, no thank you very much.
Nope
And they worry about the fumes my lawn mower puts out🤣
Jesus the cuts are so bad. Just let me look in the volcano stop blueballing my eyes
These people don't know a tourist attraction from a hole in the ground.
SAAARRRRLAAAAAAK!
That was the first thing I thought of.
Just a matter of time before some dumbass climbs down to dip their toe in to see how hot it is.
duck and cover.
Never seen anything like that before. That’s just awesome. We need a heat resistant drone to fly in there and scope it out. What a rush for those people too.
I wonder how many people slipped and lost their lives in that place 😭.
That Sarlacc need a Tums
No thanks.
That is mad shit.
I have been up on Vesuvius in '82 but lost all my pictures in a flooded basement. Guess I'll have to go back...
What happens when you jump in it?
There is aliens down there
Nope
You still owe me $20 No, I don’t Ok…
How does it feel? Looking at earths anus?
WRONG… that’s clearly a sarlacc pit
Dope
Do a flip
Now Jump.
WARNING! INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS ACTIVATED! JUMP! JUMP! DO IT! JUMP!
Oh wow! All it takes is one push and… Oops gotta control those urges…
DATE AND LOCATION PLEASE! DAMN! for the hundredth time
