Haha, great video chris.

Natrocarbonatite lava is associated with the immiscibility betwen silicate and carbonatite magmas, which incidentally evolve from nephenilite magmas during the late stages of continental rifting.
Although it currently has a viscosity 10 times that less than water, it can potential be explosive is a large amount of CO2 exsolves out of the magma.

Ah yes, but there are a couple other theories besides the nephelinitic origin. And last I checked it was a bit more viscous than water, seeing as how its pre-crystallisation flows on level ground still have notable thickness (0.5-1 cm I'd say from experience).
As for the initial comment in my video, what would YOU say if suddenly lava began pouring out of the base of a hornito..."Holy SHIT?" I restrained myself a bit in that video, but there was some "holy shit"ting in another one, not posted.

"We've got a bit of an eruption here, by the looks of it."
No. Shit. Sherlock.

Oh look, we're blessed to be in the presence of a volcanologist. Jackass.

I *am* a volcanologist and I wouldn't be seen making stupid remarks like that!

Wow, that must have been awesome. did it just start while you were there or did you happen upon it as you were wondering? I've never seen, nor known of Lava like it. Amazing.

that was cool and weird at the same time.

I probably would have backed off a bit. No sense getting melted x.x

Basically, natrocarbonatite is black, tarry, looking lava/magma?
vampirereconsint 5 years ago
Yes...well, probably. Its origins are a matter of debate, but most volcanologists think it is lava, as it behaves like other lavas. It is not hot enough to appear red in daylight, but it does have a dim red glow at night.

Awww...^^ I think I've heard of it before. x_x In the daylight it looks black and tarry...x_x

wow... thats a good shot. what date exactly were you filming? you know there was a major eruption around the 30th, is this the start of it?
we filmed a music video on lengai which i just completed, look for lengai and you will find it here on youtube.

Yes I know about the big eruption, but it occured over a month after I was in the crater. I wish I had witnessed it though.
I enjoyed your video!
