![]() It was discovered by climbing guides, who alerted park rangers, according to a July 18, 2018, National Park Service press release. The crack was neither linked to Yellowstone’s volcano, nor announced by NASA. It appeared in 2018 on a rock buttress above the Hidden Falls viewing area near Jenny Lake at Grand Teton National Park, which is just south of Yellowstone. According to the USGA website, there’s no volcanic activity that suggests an eruption is imminent.Ī 100-foot-wide crack did open, but it was not in Yellowstone National Park. There is nothing on the observatory’s website about a volcano eruption, nor is there in a May 1 video during which Mike Poland, the scientist in charge of the observatory, gave a monthly update about activity at the volcano. The Yellowstone region has a long volcanic history and is monitored by the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, a consortium of nine states and federal agencies, for volcanic, hydrothermal and earthquake activity. Yellowstone National Park, which spans 2.2 million acres in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, is home to an active volcano that has had three "immense" eruptions over the past 2.1 million years, the most recent about 70,000 years ago, according to the United States Geological Survey. But an eruption hasn’t happened in thousands of decades. The Facebook post misleads by taking a real, but minor, event from 2018 at Grand Teton National Park, falsely tying it to NASA and twisting it to imply that a volcano at nearby Yellowstone National Park has erupted. We found the video and headline being shared by several accounts on YouTube and on Facebook in recent weeks. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.) The post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. "NASA just announced a 100ft wide fissure-crack just opened up Yellowstone volcano in 24hrs," read a headline and caption with a video shared May 1 on Facebook. If you’re planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park this summer, there’s no need to cancel your reservations, as one ominous Facebook post might have you consider. This repair preserved more than one hundred years of accumulated mojo from the laying on of many hands.Fear not. Most import to me….I was able to retain the original wood, beading & combing. The sleeves function perfectly…no problems with loosening up. I asked around for who might still offer sleeving and brass sleeves were inserted along with cosmetic fill of the cracks. I choose sleeving as a method that would retain the wood and not lose the original beading and combing. At least 2 options were available for a robust repair: sleeving or invisible whipping. Splits went the entire length from end to end and all the way through. My old set of ebony Lawrie pipes had split stocks and split blowpipe. The wood fibers are in a constant state of movement (swelling/shrinking) and glues have a difficult time holding cracks together in dense oily wood. The new poly stocks are a great cost-effective permanent solution.įixing old stocks made of wood is a frustrating uphill battle against fluctuating hydration states (eg, increasing upon playing followed by decreasing when not). And if all else fails, and you can't fix it yourself, Dunbar can make you matching replacements so no one is the wiser. The stock is already broken, so you'd have to have things go catastrophically wrong to break it more. If you have those things, I'd say go for it. The whipping also clamps the squeeze out excess glue.Īll that said, if you don't have the tools to clean up the external and internal surfaces (ie a lathe, turning tools, abrasives, finish, a drill chuck for said lathe, and a appropriately sized reamer), honestly just send it to Dunbar. The whipping is the clamping and strengthening component, and there's often either CA glue or epoxy to make things airtight. For one thing, it's reasonably non-invasive (when compared to remaking, sleeving, etc). That's one of the reasons whipping is so commonly used. If you're doing it yourself, you're going to want some way to clamp the tube back into round and a way to seal it airtight (glue/epoxy). They could also make you a matching stock in delrin, so you can have both for the sake of instrument completeness and integrity. If you're sending it out, my money's on Dunbar.
