Aren't Volcanos Cool?

I know there are probably some people out there that would disagree with me--especially those living and/or stranded in Europe--but I have to say that they amaze. I was talking to my co-workers today and saw this video (see below) on the volcano that just erupted in Iceland, and I decided that if I hadn't majored in Humanities, Earth Science would have been my alternative.


As much as I'd love to see an erupting volcano in person (umm, not at all--way to scary), I do hope to one day see the lava fields on the Big Island. How awesome would that be?

I guess in the meantime I have to be satisfied with this active (what? I thought it was dormant) volcano:

And this one:

Wow. All those cancelled flights is crazy. Sucks if you had your dream vacation scheduled right now. I think volcanoes are fascinating too.

Haha, so the video that I posted wasn't the one that I thought I had. Oops!

I'll go to Iceland with you! Just as long as I get to pet some sheep, roll around in a grassy meadow and maybe stalk Sigur Ros a little : P

Stalking Sigur Ros would be high on my list. Done and done. We're going! :)
