Two of the world's smallest magical volcanoes: one 1.2 meters high, the other like a dirt bag
1.Busca Volcano
This Busca volcano, known locally as the world's smallest volcano from a distance, there is no crater and does not spew lava, is clearly a small rock pile of only 1.2 meters in height, but it has been erupting for more than 100 years without extinguishing. It turns out that this is a natural gas vent, when in contact with oxygen, the hydrogen below the surface will burn, resulting in the fire on the flame around the clock, the natural phenomenon here is also known as the "flame fountain".
The local government once planned to turn this place into a natural gas export point, but this plan was rejected by the local residents. The world's smallest volcano is not only popular with locals, but also a tourist attraction because of its constantly burning "flaming geysers. Especially after sunset, the flames of Mount Busca are clearly visible in the night sky, like a wonderland. In winter, the locals gather around the small volcano to chat and keep warm, and during the war, the local population used the flames for cooking and production to save other energy sources. This natural fire adds a lot of fun to everyone's life.
Now this small volcano has become a famous tourist attraction, and many tourists come here to visit this amazing small volcano, and they use this volcano as a campfire or barbecue. And after sunset, this small volcano is clearly visible in the night sky, very fascinating.
2. pecenita volcano
Scientists in the forests of southern Colombia,found a mini-volcano, its height is less than 3 cm, can be called the world's smallest volcano, small enough to hold in your hand. They this volcano named La Pequeñita volcano. The most peculiar thing is that this volcano also has its own ejecta, just like a feather gas. Scientists are currently studying the reasons for the formation of the small volcano, and whether it will later develop into a large volcano.
At that time, a team of scientists from the Bolivarian University of Colombia was studying the habits of leaf-cutting ants in the forests of southern Colombia. In the process, they discovered a strange phenomenon: there was a section of log near the habitat of a group of leaf-cutting ants, and on the other side of the log, there was a slightly elevated earthbag.
Dr. Fernando Valenzuela, chief scientist of the scientific team, described the "mound as no more than 3 cm in height, but it clearly has its own plume." Scientists were amazed by the mini-volcano and named it La Pequeñita Volcano. The local government of Colombia has built a 10-centimeter-range exclusion zone specifically around the La Pequeñita volcano.
The scientists' strange discovery aroused the interest of volcanologists, and a scientific research team that was examining the Galeras volcano quickly rushed to the site of La Pequeñita. Volcanologist Jacques Peralta was equally surprised by the strange phenomenon, saying, "I had never seen a volcano like this before. It looks very similar to the arched volcanoes I've studied, but it's small enough to fit in your hand." The discovery of this world's smallest volcano has attracted the attention of a wide range of scientists, who have come here to investigate.
