Lava Demonstration
The demonstration was preceded by a highly informative video on volcanism and what is known about historical and modern events. The demonstration itself was highly entertaining. In the first picture is a whitish rectangle at the end of the trough. It is a block of ice, showing how bubbles are formed when lava flows over ice. We brought home some "Pele's hair", hair-like strands of lave and a sample of volcanic glass.
