Just like the thin skin on a Rice Pudding!

All my Chums in NZ will be very aware of the vagaries of the twin clump of rocks that they live upon!

I think i prefer the lava moving at a football field distance every hour , to the pyroclastic flow at 1000c and 700km per hour .... either way, we are just spectators.
All the technology in the world cant stop this ...puts us humans , squarely in our place ... at risk.
