Yeah sure mock mother nature when she is literally spewing molten rock from the earth.

I am not a vulcanologist, but I believe that is actively erupting.

Wow this really puts me on the spot, *technically* I'm not a volcanologist haha. But I know enough to say that it is probably, in fact,

actively erupting.

I am only a Hydrogeologist, but I am pretty sure this is erupting.

Legit.

Oh, my bad thought you were. I didn't want to say as a lowly geologist that it is actively erupting hahaha

Lavabombs are a real thing. I ... would not be nearly this close.

@isetprettygirlsonfire is correct. In other settings lava bombs are definitely super dangerous - but still cool (well, *technically* hot).

It's funny, finding lava bombs is one of the first things that got me interested in geology as a kid. I still have them in fact.

That's awesome! I can't say what one thing got me hooked, but lava bombs is definitely on the list.

Yes there were many factors. Parents took us all over the US. And geology runs in my family, guess it's in my blood.

Nice. My geology lineage skipped a generation, my grandparents were both geologists & they always fostered my love of science / nature.
