昨天两件大事啊：Curiosity登陆火星！Mt Tongariro喷发！

hungugu

1>Curiosity（火星探测车）成功登陆火星，这个名字就非常棒啊。是当年美国一位12岁的华裔女孩起的。当时她参加命名比赛的短文:

"Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone's mind. It makes me get out of bed in the morning and wonder what surprises life will throw at me that day. Curiosity is such a powerful force. Without it, we wouldn't be who we are today. When I was younger, I wondered, 'Why is the sky blue?', 'Why do the stars twinkle?', 'Why am I me?', and I still do. I had so many questions, and America is the place where I want to find my answers. Curiosity is the passion that drives us through our everyday lives. We have become explorers and scientists with our need to ask questions and to wonder. Sure, there are many risks and dangers, but despite that, we still continue to wonder and dream and create and hope. We have discovered so much about the world, but still so little. We will never know everything there is to know, but with our burning curiosity, we have learned so much."

看的人相当感动啊……我浑身热血沸腾，鸡皮疙瘩一身啊啊啊啊(没贬义！！！)


关于Curiosity可以看看这两段视频:

关于建造运输发射等等:"What sets Curiosity apart from other Mars Rovers?"

2>SH1 desert road路段已经关闭，飞行员在天上能看到疑似大片火山灰云往东飘……Mt Tongariro上次爆发是在1897年。

天佑新西兰吧……

INTRIGUING

不知新西兰还能不能呆下去

火山灰云理论上已经完全离开本土，但Tongairo爆发造成的影响并没有完全消失。昨晚/凌晨多个航班在进近Palmerston North的时都闻到十分强烈的二氧化硫气味（sulfur dioxide）。一货运航班在北帕机场西北35海里/6200尺高空遭遇二氧化硫气团，驾驶室充满异味……只有放弃继续进近向西南爬升逃窜。。。。。

很意外的在新闻上看到滑雪场照开......不过应该没有人敢吧?

Today's pic shows there're still tourist skiing there.....

Would like to go on Sep, finger crossed!!!

Rangitoto是活火山吗,什么级别的火山,知道的请普及一下.

奥克兰地下有个超级火山洞, 不过每次爆发的出口都不一样, Auckland每个山头都是这个大洞爆发形成的, 上一次爆发形成了Rangitoto岛.

下一次爆发任何地点都有可能, 不过很少会重复的, 所以最安全的地方应该是上次的爆发口?

是啊。。。都是一片一个系统的。。1800年前那次巨大的爆发之后连中国的天空都给红了。。。

Rangitoto Island

Rangitoto means ‘Bloody sky’ and is thought to refer to the serious injury of a Māori chief during a battle.

For a one page fact sheet / poster on Rangitoto volcano click QuickFacts Rangitoto.pdf (2.38 MB)

Rangitoto is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf visible from most parts of Auckland City. It is the most recent, largest and least altered volcano in the Auckland Volcanic Field. This is made up of around 50 small volcanoes that have formed over the last 250.000 years. Rangitoto makes up nearly 60% of the total volume of material erupted. It was formed by at least 2 eruptions 600-700 years ago and is now about 260 m above sea level and 5.5 km wide.







Rangitoto Island

Roads and tracks allow visitors to walk over lava fields and through lava caves (tubes left behind by the passage of liquid lava). Vegetation varies from ‘raw’ lava fields to scrub and sparse forests including the largest pohutukawa forest in NZ.

It is an intra-plate or hot spot volcano (these occur away from plate boundaries and are not related to subduction). A mantle hot spot exists about 100 km below Auckland. When rock is melted by this extra heat, it will separate from the surrounding solid rock and rise to the surface. The melted rock is basalt magma which has a low viscosity (flows easily) and may rise to the surface at speeds of up to 5 km/hour.

Rangitoto consists of scoria cones on top of a broad ring of lava flows. A moat like ring around the summit is due to subsidence of the mountaintop as underlying lava flows cooled and shrank. When it erupted 600-700 years ago over an unknown time span, the sequence of events was likely to have been:
•a violent pyroclastic eruption as cold sea water met molten rock, creating an explosion crater and a tuff ring.
•ongoing fire fountaining built scoria cones once water could no longer reach the magma
•lava flows from the base of the scoria cone

我靠，那得多大得喷发呀。一个南半球40来度，一个北半球，，。。得多好的眼睛能看到。

哈哈哈哈是啊，，， 这得射多高啊。 哈哈

哈，给我就也许不介意啊。。。。首先现在停了不喷了；其次风向东吹啊，不会有太多影响那两个雪场呢。

Taupo Volcano群就是世界上最大，最活跃的火山区之一。。。。地球历史上最严重的爆发就在这里。。
