Pyroclastic density currents on the slopes of Mayon Volcano, Philippines, following a lava collapse which generated rockfalls and ashfall in nearby areas.
Pyroclastic density currents are considered extremely bad and are the deadliest volcanic hazard.

By now we know that it was not JUST glacier ice, but a tremendous bedrock landslide that collapsed in Nepal. @planet.com satellite imagery shows a fairly large (0.17km2) lake has formed, which could release a sizeable flood if it were hit by further rockfalls. This is concerning for rescue workers.

If you find yourself wondering why I care so much about mine workers, it’s because I was one. I spent 2 years working in an open pit mine breathing in dust. I still remember the smell of a cyanide leach pad. I remember the feeling of having to be constantly vigilant for rockfalls.
This is me reminding all my followers that a new silica rule was supposed to go start last year to reduce allowable silica limits in air, but the Mine Safety and Health Administration decided to just not enforce it. It would have saved many miners from the horrors of black lung disease.

The footage from this event is hard to watch and absolutely terrifying. Retreating glaciers and melting mountain permafrost expose unstable rock surfaces and increase the danger of landslides, rockfalls, and flash floods.

WILD FOOTAGE: Devastating flash floods have struck the China-Nepal border. Nepal reports at least 8-16 dead and hundreds missing, including 291 foreigners. Roads, power, and communications on the Chinese side were cut.

The Tip of Cerberus Fossae
Our science goal is to search for small rocks, possible rockfalls, and identify other mass wasting evidence. Cerberus Fossae are a group of fissures or cracks that were created by faults which pulled the crust apart.

What happened in Blatten is that the circle section of glacier fell into the valley. The Swiss don't mess around and after rockfalls in the previous weeks they evacuated the village completely. There were reports of one person missing but I haven't seen it in recent reports so hope he was found.

Concrete tunnels built into mountain roads to deflect rockfalls, avalanches, and debris. Without them, thousands of kilometers of mountain routes would be impassable for months each year.

Though the volcano hasn't erupted since April 22, they're dancing with danger. Ground seeps steam while rockfalls echo around the massive pit.

Rockfalls, explosions, cave-ins–death on the job was an everyday occurrence. Plus there was dealing with the snow, which could be intense.
