I have noticed that you have blogged on many things that I have not been aware of. There are still too many things in the world for us to know about them all!<br /><br />I hope that the site is back up running again soon... otherwise I'll have to find another link.Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962789743908134314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388608827926699865.post-31732443148103891872012-06-29T14:35:02.728+10:002012-06-29T14:35:02.728+10:00Very interesting post as usual...

I went over to the site to see who named it Fingal Head, and why, but site was in maintenance and not available.<br />You've got me thinking today, Rod, that I have taken too many things for granted, and I should be more curious and keen to learn about things around me.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126729697434479230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388608827926699865.post-51825260572261419852012-06-27T12:32:14.346+10:002012-06-27T12:32:14.346+10:00Good to hear from you again Dylan.

The one that sounds Irish Fingal is actually Scottish. I think this is were the confusion from local tourist sites has come from. But then again, the literal meaning of Scot means "someone from Ireland [or Gaelic]"! <br /><br />Warwick Sivell has many good stories about his volcanic adventures. He was actually one of my lecturers, so I managed to hear a few good stories. I wish I could experience what he has. I understand he was in Hawaii at the time of the major eruptions in the late 1980's or was it early 90's. Maybe one day.Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962789743908134314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388608827926699865.post-45514862937659203872012-06-26T22:54:53.061+10:002012-06-26T22:54:53.061+10:00Hi Rod,

Warwick Sivel was telling me when he went to Hawaii he visited a fresh lava flow. He claims to have been standing on the flow right at the time that it crystallised! I can't remember if he said he heard it or felt it through his feet, but it was a sudden event. If it's true, that's "MacCool"! :-)Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632657395095391104noreply@blogger.com
