Thanks. It needs to be low cost, robust and available in UK. Without being crap.

It's so hard to tell what is good on Amazon.

Not really. Apparently everyone streams now?

That's what I'm hoping for recs of. A kid friendly (in terms of usability and price) mp3 player.

We think there was a small eruption there in July/August (at least a small plume) and some ongoing activity there since (including continued uplift). I suspect all linked to recent activity along dyke from Erta Ale (See COMET reports on July/August activity at comet.nerc.ac.uk/event-respon...).

Activity at Hayli Gubbi began in July when there was an eruption at Erte Ale. Magma propagated 30 km south passing under Hayli Gubbi. Since then, there has been a small plume, quasi-continuous SO2 emissions and uplift. Details in @uk-comet.bsky.social event response report: tinyurl.com/y3nfdfj8

🤣 Amazing. I want it

I thought either lightening or literally the eruption sound of material being rejected from the vent. I've heard recordings of that before.

Though, I would imagine a PDC to make noise, like an avalanche. The Kraffts video always super surprised me.

Thev sound in this video is fascinating. You can hear what I think is background rain and pumice fall. But the roaring... Is that from the eruption or from the PDC? In contrast to that PDC video from the Kraffts where the the current is silent.
