The Recent Volcanic Eruption at Mammoth Mountain in California

Only 700 years ago, Mammoth Mountain in California was the site of a tremdous explosion. As boulders of rock were thrown up to 450 feet, a plume of ash rose to a height of 3,000 feet above the ground. What had just occurred was a phreatic eruption of the Mammoth Mountain volcano, representing its most recent eruptive sequence. This sequence would go on to involve three separate explosions, creating a more than 200 foot wide crater which remains today. Note: In my opinion, I would recommend against going inside the visible crater or standing in it just in case carbon dioxide from visible and hidden fumaroles upwind might be pooling there. I do not have direct or indirect evidence that standing in this crater would definitively be dangerous, but thought the possibility might exist due to emissions of carbon dioxide from certain sections of the Mammoth Mountain volcano. In my opinion, Mammoth Mountain is still safe to ski and snowboard on, as long as you keep within marked trails and keep away from closed areas and fumaroles. It is a beautiful location. Mammoth Mountain has not erupted for 723 years, and is currently showing no signs that it will erupt anytime soon as of November 30th, 2023.

This image was then overlaid with text, and then overlaid with GeologyHub made graphics (the image border & the GeologyHub logo). Note: This video's thumbnail image displays a portrayal of what Mammoth Mountain's 1300 CE volcanic eruption might have looked like when it occurred about 700 years ago. Also, for this video's title, "recent" means "geologically recent". A special thanks to the Extreme Pursuit YouTube channel for granting me permission to use clips of his footage!
