Masaya has a lava lake

I just learned that Nicaragua's Masaya volcano has a lava lake.  Not a very big one, but given their rarity, I found this interesting.

Here's a picture:

You can even take tours to visit the lava lake, if you are so inclined to visit Nicaragua.  If so, consider this a public service that I brought this highly interesting geological phenomenon to your attention.  There's a good picture at the top of the tour page.

And here's a pretty good picture of it, from Volcano Discovery.   The appearance of this lava lake happened in mid-December 2015, so it could disappear any time.  Get there while it's hot.

Ha!
