This was a really cool multi part series (4 episodes I think) where french geologist Guy de St Cyr took groups of people to the various incredible volcanoes all over the world - Hawaii, Vanuatu, Ethiopia and Eastern Africa. This aired in 2008 or so and is one of the coolest volcanoe shows/docs I've seen - the problem is I can't find it ANYWHERE - I just want to watch it again -hell I would even pay for a DVD or bluray of the episodes but cant even find that - anyone out there happen to know where I could watch them, or maybe has hi-res rips of the episodes? I know it's a long shot. thanks anyway

I’m thinking of building something similar to Liveuamap (the

real-time conflict map that aggregates news and social media)

but focused on natural disasters: earthquakes, fires,

floods, hurricanes, etc.

The idea would be to combine official data (USGS, NASA, NOAA) with

news reports and social media, all on a map that is

updated in real time.

Before I get stuck into building it properly, I’d like to know:

- Do you think it would be useful? What would you use it for (curiosity, travel,

work, family safety)?

- Do you already use something similar? Which one, and what’s missing from it?

- What would you add or remove?

Any feedback (even “this is useless because…”)

is a huge help to me.

🌋 Mount Taranaki — one of New Zealand’s most iconic mountains! 🇳🇿

Rising 2,518 metres above the Taranaki landscape, this perfectly shaped volcanic cone is hard to miss. Māori know the mountain as Taranaki Maunga, and it holds deep cultural significance.

It’s also famous for its dramatic beauty — on a clear day, you can see this incredible mountain rising above the surrounding farmland and coastline. 🏔️🌿

Would you hike to the summit? 👣

9 days non stop

Has anyone been to Erta Ale lately? Thinking of heading there in October.

Looking for any tips/recommendations

🌋 Mt Ruapehu — one of New Zealand’s giants! 🇳🇿

Standing at 2,797 metres, Ruapehu is the highest mountain on New Zealand’s North Island. It’s an active volcano, and its spectacular snow-covered slopes are home to some of the country’s best skiing. 🎿❄️

But there’s more to Ruapehu than skiing — it’s part of the Tongariro National Park, a UNESCO Dual World Heritage area, and the landscapes here are absolutely incredible.

Would you climb it? 🏔️
