The kind of magma we imagine when we picture volcanoes, the lava boiling in puddles and endangering everything near is pretty rare, with only a few persistent lava lakes in the world. Now, scientists have discovered what is the eighth identified persistent lava lake around the world, boiling inside the active volcano Mount Michael found on top of Saunders Island in the sub-Antarctic South Sandwich Islands.

I'm hoping that picture shows up. That's kind of cool, too.
 
Oh no! It's an Earth zit. I'd get the hell away before Mother Nature pops it! :eek:

That is pretty neat though, I just wouldn't want to be the one taking that pic.
