Speaking of lava
Remember how I noted that it seemed like volcanic activity around the world is increasing? (That was a couple of posts ago.) Well, in that assessment I left out the big Holuhraun fissure eruption in Iceland, which is still going strong. And now I read that the volcano Nyamuragira in Tanzania is hosting a lava lake.
It is very important not to confuse Nyamuragira with Nyiragongo, its neighboring volcano, which also, famously, hosts a lava lake. So these are two of the most neighborly lava lakes in the entire world. I'd love to be an eco-tourist myself to both of them, but I really don't see that happening. So I'll just have to marvel at the pictures like most of the rest of us.
