Volcanoes, baby!

[obligatorycoffee]

Did a little bit of international travel last week and got to see an erupting volcano up close! I was one of those kids who was completely obsessed with volcanoes and lava and I admittedly never really grew out of it. Also, having some fire affinity, draconically speaking, has made letting the hot burny thing obsession hard to drop. Needless to say I was so excited when I found out we could get quite close, I was basically yelling the whole way there. We were close enough that you could hear it roaring over the gusting winds.

We did a ton of other cool stuff on vacation, but this was definitely the highlight for me, and will probably top a lot of future travel experiences for a long time.

What kind of volcano is that? It looks like a shield to me.

Good question, it's just a little fissure and cone, so I'm not quite sure what it'd be classified as. There are a bunch of shield volcanoes in the area though, so this may simply be a baby?

It's this one, for reference! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundhn%C3%BAkur
