Brett's amazing video for the day.....

[gn7]

The earth is an amazing place as you said. As assume as that video was, imagine seeing that first hand, up close and personal.
But to give you an idea of how they like to make something like that seem so monsterous, they always use Manhattan as a reference. On the tiny little island of Maui there is a mountain called Mt. Haleakala. Sure you heard of it. The island, and the mountain were formed by that volcano. At the top of the mountain there is a hole in the earth that was the mouth of volcano. TWO MANHATTANS will fit in the hole, and not a single building wuld stick above the rim. All in that one hole, on that one little mountain on that one little island.


Now imagine all the noxious gases from chlorine to CO2 and fine silica that came out of that volcano during its life time. Then thing of all the volcanos in the world. And the earth not only survived them, it flourish because of them.

We should all be in awe of this stuff, not being made to fear it.
Everytime you see a rounded stone in the middle of the desert, like all around Las Vegas, remember it was made rounded by a glacier, Where are they today, and which generation of man should we blame for their disappearance.

It is a cool awe inspiring video. Thanks for sharing it.
