Oh yea... :)

There's an ancient volcano cone not too far from there. Interesting times! I wonder sometimes if some of these out of place volcanoes are from meteors that have punched holes in the surface.

Thanks, reminds me of the GOM well capping event. :)

I wonder if I could ever learn to operate one of these. Seems to be a growing field.

They will be closing in today towards April’s eruption. Everything captured today should be quite interesting as they descend back down into the caldera.

Looks like they are skimming over the top of the Caldera area doesn’t look like they are after anything specific. It looks more like a semi-typical scuba dive trip on camera.

Last I heard they should be nearing the new lava flow and caldera vents sometime this evening. However they seem to be concentrating on sample collection so I am wondering if they will get there today?
