Interesting article about the new volcanic lava lake discovered in the South Sandwich Islands, which are in the middle of the remote -- seriously remote -- South Atlantic.
Rare lava lake found on top of sub-Antarctic volcano
This article includes a map, which is useful in geo-locating these islands.
Now, an issue I have with this article is that they state that Kilauea in Hawaii is one of Earth's eight volcanoes hosting a lava lake. They are listed in it. But as of right now, Kilauea doesn't have one, because of last year's dramatic, lava-lake draining and neighborhood inundating rift eruption. So as of NOW, there's only seven. (It seems to me that one of the Andes volcanoes had a lava lake for awhile, but I guess that was temporary. Looked that up; Villarica had one for about six years, 1995-2001 and
hosts one off-and-on. But not right now.)
