Volcanoes are astonishing . Sometimes the very fact of their existence feels strange. In any case, volcanologists who study them carry out extremely dangerous, yet fascinating and important work. Thanks to them, we know more about the structure of our planet, about the molten materials that exist beneath the surface, and of course we are learning to predict - and in the future, perhaps even prevent - catastrophic eruptions.🌋 #volcano#lava#nature#edit#natural
