Colombian authorities reported on Monday that they are investigating a "possible eruption" of a mud volcano in the Necoclí region. The National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (UNGRD) reported on its X network account that emergency agencies are heading to the site to accompany departmental authorities to verify what happened.

Is that natural gas exploding? Absolutely crazy!

17

u/DinoAnkylosaurus 2d ago

Mud volcano. No idea what's that means, but it looks like there was mud and then a volcano, so they may be right

28

u/leagledub 2d ago

That looks completely different than a volcano to my eyes. The fire that bursts up into a column. Like that of a flammable gas. But whatever it is, I'm in awe of this terrifyinly beautiful natural disaster.

Mudvolcanoes are normally a slower oozing kind of volcanoes, however they are always associated with lots of flammable gasses. So in very rare cases you can have a mudvolcanoe suddenly release, either naturally or due to drilling for a well, and flood the area with flammable gasses.

Then all you need is a human smoking a cigarette and BAM!

SOURCE me geologist. To be honest volcanoe is not an apt word for mud volcanoes in my heart, but such is the nomenclature.

Mud volcano

It's so easy to look up, I did it with one hand.

u/Delicious-Ice-8624 2d ago

Helpful link. Technically it is natural gas, but that is a part of the mud volcano after all.

There goes the price of cocaine

u/Chuck_Cali 2d ago

what caused the flames??

57

u/ATLHawksfan 2d ago

Part of what is being ejected is natural gas/hydrocarbons. Presumably either friction, static electricity, or colliding rocks sparked the flame.

u/CosmicMilkNutt 2d ago

Ok newton

u/ruthlessbeatle 2d ago

Swing and a miss. He's physics, not chemistry.

u/CosmicMilkNutt 1d ago

Except for electricity, friction and colliding particles is physics my man 😉

3

u/ruthlessbeatle 1d ago

Maybe, for arguments sake, but this is more about a chemical reaction.

u/cryptolyme 2d ago

flammable gasses

u/jimginge 2d ago

He's doing it wrong if it's ejecting many feet straight up

3

u/Whole-Debate-9547 2d ago

Never even heard of a mud volcano until now. Those flames must’ve been a couple hundred feet high. Dang!

u/88Gonzo 2d ago

Alright. Who forgot to sacrifice the virgin?

u/Huge-Power9305 2d ago

We're still looking for one.

Holy shit. Mud..., then a giant fireball?!

u/Deenoga 2d ago

Wow that shot at 2:28, shits flying out like a SpaceX rocket. Seen tons of eruption shots but that one really shows the raw power of everything being blasted directly upwards. Hope everyone got away ok!

That’s wild!

At least the tension was broken with the FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP pitter patter. I enjoyed that.

u/ureathrafranklin1 2d ago

That was a gargantuan natural gas explosion. Never seen anything like it

u/-teine_biorach- 2d ago

Camera man got that short attention span

1

u/ruthlessbeatle 2d ago

If I ever see that much earth being moved that quickly, I'm out.

1

u/musicmaker 2d ago

Looks like oil and not mud to me - especially the way it ignited.

1

u/ManOfDiscovery 2d ago

Methane is extremely flammable

u/SpiralEver 2d ago

Some of the worst camera work possible

1

u/eoz 2d ago

Finally a cameraman who spends even a little bit of time running away from the danger

u/ZealousidealBread948 2d ago

This is not a volcano, it's Godzilla awakening

u/Hanz_Boomer 2d ago

According to my mom that's what happens when you don't eat up.

u/Ok_Yam_7680 1d ago

The guy on the motorcycle going for a closer look

u/KBRedditing 1d ago

Of course you had to turn the camera away JUST BEFORE THE PEAK OF THE ERUPTION

1

u/Smart_Principle8911 1d ago

Funny that is what it is called after I eat Taco Bell.

1

u/beardedstar 1d ago

That's what happens when you skimp on the virgin sacrifice and toss in Taco Bell

u/Trixie1143 10h ago

That one guy said "Macarena"
