        I believe that’s Mt St Helens erupting. Real footage from 1980 (though this gif is sped up).

          If I recall correctly, it is not real “footage” but real photos which are interpolated into a film using editing software

            That would definitely explain why it’s sped up if the source was a bunch of still images. I’ve seen other edits of it that look a little more like a real-time video.
