I am watching online both photos and videos of the eruption of Iceland's volcano, something that laid dormant for 800 years.
It is both incredibly beautiful and incredibly scary simultaneously.
It is amazing to know that suddenly the Earth could blow it's top and this fiery inferno spills out and flows all over, quickly incinerating everything in it's path.
Hurricanes, tornados, cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis, drought, extreme cold, extreme heat, hail, snow, blizzards, rain, flooding, wind have nothing on this king of all nature's expression of fury.
I have never been to Hawaii to see the Kīlauea volcano but can't imagine being caught up in that.
Have any of you CP members seen one up close and what is it like? :-) [Reply]
Speaking of Volcano's, I always thought ancient mythology was pretty interesting. There's a volcano, I want to say in Hawaii, that if you don't throw a bottle of gin inside of the volcano the Goddess Pele will be angry and try to kill you. I watched some show about guys in a helicopter that tried to throw the bottle of gin into the volcano but missed by a little and they crashed and were stuck and almost died to the gas fumes. [Reply]

I bet there's a hermit living there who started that myth. He goes out once a week or so and gathers up unbroken gin bottles. [Reply]
