I am now an expert on.... Volcanoes!

Did i even spell it right? But anyway, Yes Volcanoes (Vulkane) its an interesting subject and over easter I was helping one of the boys with his project on them. I know a surpirsing amount about volcanoes (mainly thanks to Bill Brysons, A Short History of Almost Everything. An excellent book). For example I know all about "Hot Spots" and the geology about Yellowstone National Park (Its a volcano, yes the entire park!) and about the castrophic Mt St Helens Eruption in the 1980's. This knowledge really impressed Timo so I was roped in to help him! Not that I minded really!
