The Last Volcanic Eruption in Slovakia; Putikov vrsok

Описание: Note: This video's thumbnail image shows what Putikov vrsok might have looked like while it was erupting 102,000 years ago. This specific vent will never erupt again, and the volcanic field it is a part of is extinct. Although, there is the Central Slovakia volcanic field could erupt again in the future, perhaps with the odds each year being 1 in 1.5 million in my opinion.

Disclaimer: I am being paid to make this video by the European Union and NS Kožare as part of a series meant to share several wonderful geologic features within the nation of Slovakia.

Note: This video's thumbnail image displays what the Štiavnica volcano might have looked like during the opening 5 seconds of its major caldera forming eruption 13.85 million years ago. This volcano is now permanently extinct.
