Emi Koussi Volcano, Chad :)
I thought Olympus Mons too, can I say that as well?
Interesting "little" mountain:
http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/7_10_98_elysium_rel/
I have to admit my first thoughts went to Mars, but I've seen photos of them so many times that I quickly realised that this volcano showed signs of Earthly weathering.
Fuji?
Mattias Larsson and RachelM were not far off the mark when guessing Olympus Mons:
“ Emi Koussi has been used as a close analog to the famous Martian volcano Elysium Mons [which is quite similar to Olympus Mons, my comment].” However, E. K. is 3,415 m high, while Elysium Mons is 13,862 m and Olympus Mons is 21,171 m. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emi_Koussi .
E. K. is a *pyroclastic shield volcano*, here is a link http://www.volcanolive.com/shield2.html
Sorry, the second link was wrong, here is the correct one: Pyroclastic shield volcano : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroclastic_shield
Yup. It is Emi Koussi.
@Boris, just in case you check in here again, what do you think of what is going on with Eyaf? I am sure you have been at least checking in on the thread under Erik's post. If you have the time, give us a yell over there and send your opinion. WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU! :-)
So it is a martian volcano? That is kinda what thought too.
Calling Chad 'Mars' might upset some of the Chadians ;-) . If I'm correct both Erik and Dr. Ralph Harrington (Volcanism Blog) had to deal with angry Eritreans after they posted a picture of a cloud of SO2 that was hanging over East Africa in which the border between Eritrea and Ethiopia wasn't visible XD .
@10: "So it is a martian volcano? That is kinda what thought too."
The terrain around Emi Koussi is certainly desolate enough to pass for Martian...
Then again, if there was more rainfall, the features would have been more eroded and less distinctive. Interesting to see a volcano in a diametrically opposite setting to the Icelandic ones.
Nice colour photo of EK at Smithsonian GVP from someone doing aerobatics:

'Hey mum, I did a loop de loop over a volcano in Chad yesterday...'
Oops, spaceshuttle. I'll miss them when they retire.
@Diane ... I definitely will say a word in the Eyja thread in a moment, though I don't really know what to say :-) It's a volcano that is poorly known, has a relatively dilute eruption history, and its last eruption dates nearly 200 years back. So, really not much to build on for comparison. It looks like a pretty much closed system, differently from those volcanoes, as Grímsvötn, which erupt frequently and seem to be more open. From the seismic activtiy that we see there in these past few weeks, it definitely looks to me like there's a significant magma movement going on. I don't think external processes like glacier movement or whatever else are important here, also because there's strong deformation of the volcano (the Nordvulk web site has an impressive diagram at http://www2.norvol.hi.is/page/ies_activity_Eyjafjallajokull).
Well, I will be back in a short time in the Eyja thread, stay tuned.
Thanks Boris. Iappreciate your input even if you don't think there is much you can say about it. You certainly know more than I do!!!!
I tried the link and I got the box that said the site was not found so I don't know what is going on there. Thanks anyway.
I can say it sure has been interesting reading everybody's posts on Eyjaf. And Korf's 3D models have been great.
I look forward for your post.
Maybe a note on Stromboli ,too? I tried to get into it from Stomboli on line and I wasn't able to get anything. Maybe later.
Just to keep another volcano in site: there are now 65 quakes on the map that shows Long Valley and also south of the caldera. I counted 35 in the vacinity of Mammoth Mt. The quakes are shallow, about 3miles deep and I have no idea what is going on there. Could be interaction with water and/or CO2. I know there is a magma chamber under Mammoth as well as Long Valley. Just another volcano I check up on.
That is supposed to be "sight" not "site"!
Hi Volcano Guru
I am researching earthquake prediction using cloud and weather information, so far it seems too easy.
While on flash earth I happened across Isla Guadalupe OFF THE WEST coast of Mexico. It appears to be a totally volcanic Island but SEARCHES keep getting lost with another west Indian Island. To cut it short, cant find data but saw an area of clear air in shape of a V cutting continuous cloud cover, with a smoke or Vapour trail coming rom the island. Any info /links on history for seismic activity or recent rumblings?
Thanks
yours in all things that shAKE AND RUMBLE.
Jebel Marra?
@Diane: You need to remove the paren-and-dot from Boris's link to norvol.hi.is.
did you for What I wouldnt bee good just copied this or what?
Weep for the punishment or recede lies
Insightful blog. I am going to require a decent amount of time to entertain this points:D
I salute you, I really love the way you treated the story... maybe you could come to my website and give me some corrections. thank you in advance

Excellent points?I would observe that as any person who in reality doesn't write on blogs a lot (in truth, this may be my first publish), I don't suppose the term 'lurker' is very turning into to a non-posting reader. It's no longer your fault in the slightest degree , however most likely the blogosphere may come up with a better, non-creepy name for the ninety% of us that enjoy studying the content material .
Good issues?I might observe that as any person who really doesn’t write on blogs so much (in reality, this may be my first submit), I don’t assume the time period ‘lurker’ could be very changing into to a non-posting reader. It’s now not your fault in the least , however most likely the blogosphere may just get a hold of a greater, non-creepy title for the 90% people that revel in reading the content material .
Hey there I must say I revere your principals. As a Boston Cab driver I meet all kinds of people and now I just can`t get enough. As soon as I drop off my Boston Taxi I come right home and fire up my computer looking for entertaining and informative blogs like this one. The next time you are around zip code 02127 Southie Massachusetts stop by and see us!
Do not make it seem like an Ad(only for business purpose): Despite the fact that you desire to advertise and market yourself or your internet site you don't need to spam. Do it subtly, and you'll get plenty of views. Now you would say, the way to promote my product or web site then? The answer is simple, Make sure your films add some value.
Maybe there are other people in here just like me who thinks the same about this issue, because for me it isn't a big issue.
Thank you for making the honest strive to provide an explanation for this. I think very strong about it and would like to learn more. If it’s OK, as you reach more intensive knowledge, could you mind including more posts very similar to this one with more information? It will be extraordinarily helpful and helpful for me and my colleagues.
I’d have to check with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!
I have been meaning to post something like this on my blog and you have given me an idea. Cheers.
Dude, I think there is a mistake in the first paragraph, but I have to say very interesting article.
I love the way you sound so passionate about what you are writing. Keep up the great work!

Such a good blog. Well done
I am impressed, I have to say. Truly hardly at any time do I encounter a blog that is certainly both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you've got hit the nail around the head. Your imagined is excellent; the problem is something that not enough persons are talking intelligently about. I am rather blissful that I stumbled all through this in my hunt for an individual point referring to this
I was just having a conversation over this I am glad I came across this it cleared some of the questions I had.

Mittlerweile ziehst DU Deine Muschi auseinander und drückst meinen Kopf fest an Sie. Sie wird immer feuchter und Dein Saft lauft jetzt schon an Deinen Innenschenkeln herunter, die ich von unten nach oben ablecke um immer wieder an Deine Muschi stehen zu bleiben. Langsam komme ich mit meiner Zunge über Deinen Bauch und Deine Titten zu Dir hoch und wir küsen uns leidenschaftlich.

I've read over a lot of your current blog entries and I had been wondering if you wanted to swap blog links? I am always looking to trade links with personal blogs on very similar topics! I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Aloha dude! I completely accept your opinion. I have just shared it on Facebook.
Pawlenty looked off his secret plan the full night. After that Romney gratified on to the crew by foretelling the mark of the Stanley Cup game, Pawlenty essayed the same tactic subsequently . Romney, a New Englander , could just barely flee with something so unblushing ; Pawlenty, a hockey fan, had no such circumstances .
The last I checked on this subject was quite some time back. I am much more into Cheap SEO. Nonetheless, interesting post and I would check back again soon and get myself more updated.
Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any tips and hints for rookie blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

To all of you who think that there are no good lawyers, I'm just saying that there are cases where you really get professional help by people who do not just want to get your money, but do actually care about you case. Besides, you can also look for the ones that say you don't have to pay them if they loose the case. How's that for a motivation?
