But today I got to take a virtual tour inside of one led by volcanologist Donna O'Meara. We read her book Into The Volcano and learned of her venture to living her passion of studying volcanoes. Her book is full of great photos that she has taken. She had my kids captivated with her descriptive story of some of her adventures studying certain volcanoes, including Kilauea and Stromboli. She has climbed at least 100 erupting volcanoes. Her and her husband were even married on some of the newest land on earth (at that time) wearing tennis shoes for a quick escape from the heat radiating up!
That I'd like to see.

heather, I cannot find the original article I read. it was one that was linked to my homepage news that day. I think it was Reuter's science or AP science. Here is one from AP that may help.
