Cumbre Vieja volcano post eruption phase! Time to say goodbye for volcano-thank you for all support :)

Blue lava?

What do you mean by fake blue? Like a reflection?

I remembered seeing a volcano that had blue lava. I found this article. It tells a little more about it.

"The lava that flows from the Kawah Ijen volcano on the island of Java is the usual glowing red color of molten rock flowing from any volcano. The flowing electric blue color arises from the combustion of sulfur-rich gases. Hot, pressurized gases push through cracks in the volcano wall, burning as they come into contact with air. As they burn, sulfur condenses into a liquid, which flows downward. It's still burning, so it looks like blue lava. Because the gases are pressurized, the blue flames shoot up to 5 meters in the air. Because sulfur has a relatively low melting point of 239°F (115°C), it can flow for some distance before solidifying into the familiar yellow form of the element. Although the phenomenon occurs all the time, the blue flames are most visible at night. If you view the volcano during the day, it wouldn't appear unusual."

It would have been nice if we had a time stamp so we could check it out!

What I believe not being an expert on the topic is that there are 2 kinds of blue lavas, the first is the high amount of sulfuric oxide burning and the truly blue lava is the one burning HoT as hell but don't ask me, that's what I got from the research considering I did it on my second lenguage.

This quote is talking about the difference on temps needed to creat each other and it gave me that impression.

Sulfur burns when it comes into contact with hot air at temperatures above 360 °C (680 °F), which produces the energetic flames.[2] Actual lava is red-orange in color, given its temperature. Truly-blue lava would require temperatures of at least 6,000 °C (10,830 °F), which is much higher than any lava can naturally achieve on the surface of the Earth.[3]

Already in the first post I made, I edit it and added the time stamps

Ah, I see what you mean now. I do not know enough about that to even take a guess.

I meant a time stamp to where we could see the blue lava on the live stream.

It's in the first post, I added that info after I searched for it on the live stream

Maybe my eyes are too tired. I can't find it.

Hopefully there will be a clip of it tomorrow.

I'm sorry mate, I posted the wrong time stamp, check for this one 244:20:00,

What do you guys think? Is it relevant at some point?

Re: La Palma Day 79 | Several "wide opening" cracks detected 470

“I've spent a bit of time the last couple of days reading on the science of volcanos. This one is like no other that's erupting. The incredible number of quakes forming two chambers is quite unique, and the same thing that happened to Mt. St. Helens. This one is taking a different turn though. As the upper chamber empties, ground deformation has dropped, forming cracks in the relatively soft mound. The shelf separating the two chambers has formed relatively easy flow between the two, so fewer quakes. If the lower chamber suddenly filled the upper and basically emptied, the "roof" of the lower chamber is at risk due to the sudden weight and pressure. A large downward collapse is a nightmare event because of the explosive nature of such a movement, then add a inrush of water. The eruption cycle is due to accelerate this coming weekend.”

Quoting; Brass Clockwork

So we are talking about situation when upper chamber fills up and collapses the lower due the weight .Not to mention it would cause something never seen before ( highly explosive event )
