Iwo Jima Eruption Update; A New Island Forms, Expected Eruption Length

[catbyte]

(Un) Fun Fact: My dad fought on Iwo Jima in WWII, so its evolution is interesting.

1. That part of the planet is not called the Volcano Islands

for nothing.

2. Any rumblings from jina?

Is this in the zone of disputed territories? Well, disputed only by them. Everyone else is pretty well settled on it being Japanese territory.

3. "My dad fought on Iwo Jima". Can you imagine if there was an eruption during the invasion?

That would have been a big OMG for both sides...
I lost a older cousin in Iwo Jima..

4. From what little my dad said about it,

I think they would've preferred an eruption to the human-induced hell they lived through. I'm sorry about your cousin and am deeply grateful for his sacrifice. I hope it wasn't in vain. This country is in trouble.

5. " I hope it wasn't in vain". The kicker was, the word got back it was a friendly fire incident. Shit happens in war.

His Mom never got over it. I can imagine the horrors of the Ukrainian wives, mothers, sisters and children learning that their loved ones aren't coming home. I never met him but I did meet his mom. Classic story of a boy from eastern Europe coming to a country to start a better life. Joins the military to defend his new country and paid the ultimate sacrifice. uff
Love the animal vid's btw. Sometimes when the politics get me down your vid's cheer me up. Thanks..
