Havn't seen one up close yet and not sure I want to.. A friend who was sailing to the US pulled up at a pretty little island in the south pacific
and started a little routine maintanace stuff on the motor of the 80 footer he was sailing on .. weather was clear .. though through the night the smallish volcanoe on the other side of the island had a bit of indegestion.The superheated air blasting upwards landed him with 140 km/h onshore winds in a few minutes , he was unable to set sail before he hit land .. which by pure chance was a 500m strip of sandy beach instead of the rocky volcanic coast of most of the island.
One of these collapsing in an oceon would be a pretty life changeing .. for most of us .. at a guess .
