Erupting Volcano
This is especially to make Chad jealous. Around the new year, we climbed Pacaya a second time, this time with our siblings Joel, Mike, and Liz. It was incredible - the volcano was actually erupting right behind us, spewing red lava up to 40 feet in the air. Yes, it was quite safe - there are many types of volcano eruptions, and this one was shooting about 3 cubic meters per minute. A constant flow, or larger pressures with larger volumes would have been dangerous.
