Below is GVP explanation of El Hierro vs El Golfo!The trganiular island of Hierro is the SW-most and least studied of the Canary Islands. The massive Hierro shield volcano is truncated by a large NW-facing escarpment formed as a result of gravitational collapse of El Golfo volcano about 130,000 years ago. The steep-sided 1500-m-high scarp towers above a low lava platform bordering 12-km-wide El Golfo Bay, and three other large submarine landslide deposits occur to the SW and SE. Three prominent rifts oriented NW, NE, and south at 120 degree angles form prominent topographic ridges. The subaerial portion of the volcano consists of flat-lying Quaternary basaltic and trachybasaltic lava flows and tuffs capped by numerous young cinder cones and lava flows. Holocene cones and flows are found both on the outer flanks and in the El Golfo depression. Hierro contains the greatest concentration of young vents in the Canary Islands. Uncertainty surrounds the report of an historical eruption in 1793.

Columbus first sailed to the Canary Islands where he restocked the provisions and made repairs. After stopping over in Gran Canaria, he finally departed from San Sebastie1n de La Gomera on 6 September, for what turned out to be a five-week voyage across the ocean.Columbus and his crew certainly must have witnessed this eruption, although the historical record seems to be silent. What a way to start their adventure.

Actually, you're right: I talked to one of the guys who halends the UGA account for Nike, and UGA had to wear a pro-combat' uniform for a nat'l televised game just watch how many times the announcers say pro combat uniform .I guess I can live with it, but I certainly had hoped they'd incorporate more classic UGA elements beyond just the G' contrasting pants (or at least a silver stripe), THIN center stripe on the helmet, etc.I really think these uniforms are just too much Nike and not enough UGA.

Hi Diana sorry, missed your cnmoemt before.Agreed, it's nothing to do with Grimsfall, but I'm also not convinced it's just weather over this duration I'd expect to see something similar affecting other stations, like god. The first part of the spiky section probably is weather it's also there in the Westermann Islands but the second half looks more interesting to these completely amateur eyes, irrespective of the weather. It also seems to have just come to a very abrupt stop.

Yes, it's bad weather. But once in a while Eyjafjallajokull stmaes a bit, and sometimes quite a bit. But that is happening more and more rare as time goes by. To be sure about steaming, you can travel to the bottom of the volcano and see if any steam is coming out from the crater when the rest of the sky is fully clear. Last time I saw this was about 3 months ago. Haven't see it since then.
