Cold Fire

In a vivid clash of fire and ice, Mount Belinda, in the remote South Sandwich Islands, has been in a persistent state of eruption since 2001. In the color-enhanced satellite image, a river of lava 90-meters wide flows from the ice-bound summit at 4,494 feet to the Weddell Sea, where it throws up a massive plume of steam.

Hot damn, how cool is that!
