[arial view: Volcano on Montagu Isle]
When they say "Sandwich Islands" they mean it... A Volcano on November 23rd; has literally grown in acreage (50 acres and growing) within this eruption. For those of you who do not know: This Volcano is 1,500 miles east-southeast of the Falkland Islands, and is covered with a sheet of ice; thus making an interesting study for researchers. Continue reading...
FACT: The 11 South Sandwich Islands form an arc on a volcanic fault line. They are important to researchers because of their remoteness from any continental landmass, making the lavas pristine, or unaffected by continental contamination
...And last night... a new eruption. (Hawaii)

~Western prong reaches down to about 1100 feet, and the eastern, longer, prong down to about 1000 feet.
~Each prong is a few tens of meters or more wide, but movement is sluggish.

Erupting for the first time in 26 years has caused up to 200 tourists a day to descend upon the island! Although the eruption itself did not currently pose a threat, there were worries that the influx of visitors could harm the fragile and unique ecosystem on Isabel. Officials have now restricted the area...
