Volcanic Flames
I decided tonight to do some backing up on the gigs of photos I have on the computer and found this hidden away in my holiday from last year snaps.
This was taken in Lanzarote while on a trip through the volcanic region there and shows an experiment of the heat generated under Timanfaya. Basically the guide got some dry vegetation and held it above a hole which a long way down has lava in it.
The heat generates enough heat to burn the dried plant our in a matter of seconds. Its quite incredible the power of nature.
