Alaska Volcanoes Rumble to Life
Volcanoes are REALLY impressive. I had the opportunity to walk across a bridge of hardened lava at Kilauea in Hawaii, and see the lava flowing underneath on it's way to where it hit the sea sending clouds of steam and ash into the air. AWESOME!
Just watched the Discover chan. program on Pompeii last night - the latter part of the program was an update - 750,000 in the immediate area of Vesuvius now (compared to 30,000 at the time when ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed in 79 AD.) Now THERE's a disaster waiting to happen!
