One of the greatest adventures I have ever had was hiking up to a new volcano to watch it explode for hours less than a 2,000 feet away from me. The combination of the endless roar and the feeling of the heat every time the lava poured out was mesmerizing. It is like watching a massive version of a bonfire. There is something profound about how this is the process by which most land that we live, and die, on has been created. It is something I think about often and dream of seeing again.
