I wonder how long it would take to cook a spud in that environment.

heckling from the back!
Meanwhile, back in Iceland, all seems quiet on the surface ...
The eruption seems to have entered a paused phase during the last month, still plenty of earthquakes. But they are largely concentrated near Kellir[?] a few miles further North(-ish) of Geldingadailir. [excuse my spelling].

We need some active volcanoes in the UK - much better than fireworks.

No, thanks, much as I like watching 'em on the internet.
I prefer them far enough away from places that they don't kill people or destroy livelihoods.
The UK is too crowded to have room for active volcanoes.

Volcanologist, I think.
I've been interested in them since the mid 1960s with Surtsey appearing from the sea ...

No, I was making a poor joke! Volcano-ist - like how UKIP types who say we have no room for immigrants are race-ist

Some of clips of the Icelandic lava, where it is very hot and going down a steep slope, also have a very high speed.^^^ so fast.
Very frighteningly fast.

This is what volcanoes should all look like. It'd be amazing to watch this for real.

Line the bottom of the boat with foil and you'd be fine.

This looks pretty.

Lava streams continue to pour from La Palma volcano – in pictures
The Cumbre Vieja volcano continues to wreak havoc on the Canary island of La Palma. The eruption has continued for more than a month and is yet to show any sign of easing

The planet's crust is like a giant scab on top of a massive ball of molten rock. If all humans jumped up and down in one place it would create waves and eventually break the crust.

I might have lied about that ^^

And they use the molten/solid bits inside to detect earthquakes from around the world - the waves that go through the planet behave differently whether they encounter solid or liquid rock.

nanook rubs it....
As though there's not enough going on in the world, I'm now concerned that the crust isn't big enough. 1 to 100km doesn't sound far enough away from the 'bubble gum'.

right after this urgent rest
In the future, buildings will not be constructed from sheet steel and poured concrete, but instead a hollow, heat resistant mould will be placed on the site and an autonomous drone will drill all the way down to the earth‘s core, releasing liquid magma to rise up and fill the mould above ground. Once it cools and sets, the mould will be removed and the solid-as-a-rock building will stand there, ready for final interior fitout.
