What others have said about VolcanoWorld...

On March 27, 2001 Jessica commented: Hello! I am 13 years old. I really like your variety of information and concepts. I'm happy to tell you that with your help, I received exactly what I'd been looking for my science fair project on cinder cone volcanoes. It took me quite a while to actually find this web page and all the info you put into it, and I thank you greatly for the large amount of help. I wish more people had this much information in their web pages. Thank you again!
On March 25, 2001 Sharon commented: I am a 8th grade science teacher who is currently teaching geology. My classes are beginning a research project on volcanoes, and I was searching the web for some sites that my students could utilize. I found your site, and I was literally blown away. It's amazing! I visited your awards page and congratulations! You deserve all of those awards and many more! I wish there were such thorough and outstanding sites out there for every topic of science that I teach. Thank you for your excellent site!
On March 23, 2001 Charlotte commented: I'm a student studying a degree course in Geology, and I am forever searching through sites related to this subject. I have to say that I think your site is one of the most outstanding sites I have ever seen. It's also brilliant that you make subjects like this fun to learn for younger people and let them have somewhere to send their drawings and questions to. I only wish that I had this kind of technology available back when I was 8! Keep up this fantastic site.
On February 20, 2001 A Reader commented: G'day from Australia. I have a four year old who is fascinated with volcanoes, pyroclastic flows, etc. I have found this site very educational helping to bring me up to speed on volcanoes so I am on the same level as my son. (Which is quite scary that a 4 year old knows more than I do!) Thank you for the interesting pictures and easy explanations into this fascinating subject.
On January 31, 2001 Azlina commented: I'm helping both my daughters to do a research/project (for grade 3) on volcanoes. This is really a fantastic "place" to gather information. We have learned so much since the past week or so just by browsing thru this site. Keep up the good work.
On January 26, 2001 Karen commented: I found your site to be extremely helpful. My sister lives on the island of Java in Indonesia not far from Mt. Merapi so I appreciate being kept up to date on the volcano's activity. You site offers a great deal of information which wasn't included in the news broadcasts.
On January 21, 2001 Susan commented: As a first year teacher, this site is a great place to supplement my knowledge on volcanoes. I can't wait to share this site with my students! Thank you.
On December 20, 2000 Shannon commented: Every parent's nightmare...the school project...subject-volcanic eruptions. Where do we find the most fantastic info? From you! Thanks for helping a panic-stricken 34 yr. old Mom guide her 8 yr. old daughter through all the facts. Love the color & pics! She was glued and hooked (watches for Tom Brokaw's updates on Mt. Popo)! Thumbs way up!
On December 18, 2000 Ruben commented: I'm from Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. I got to know your site while viewing a French programme on volcanoes (Les ecrans du savoir) where vulcanologist Durieux was invited and praised this site. Immediately after I visited it. Extremely interesting!!! I do hope Mauritian primary teachers will come to know about this educational and creative site. I have browsed for only a few minutes and for sure I will visit VolcanoWorld again. We do have dormant volcanoes in Mauritius, the most famous being Trou-aux-Cerfs. If I am not mistaken, even Tazieff visited it.
On December 14, 2000 Bob commented: Your site definitely gets an A+. I live in the Denver, Colorado area. Cinder cones have been active as recently as several thousand years ago in the western part of the state. With Yellowstone to the north, New Mexico and Arizona to the south and southwest, I am surrounded by a region that has had major volcanic activity both historically (less than 1,000 years ago in New Mexico and Arizona) and prehistorically. This region of the U.S. has potential for major eruptions in the future, too--perhaps in my lifetime. VolcanoWorld is the best resource I have found for learning all about this.
On October 18, 2000 Jessica commented: We have really enjoyed your entire Web site about volcanoes. We are a homeschooling family and view your site as a great resource. Thanks!
On October 5, 2000 Dana commented: Your Web site is awesome! I got almost all my information about Mt. Saint Helens. I know more about volcanoes from your Web site. Thank you for this wonderful Web site. One thing, you should put some volcano games in this Web site.
On October 3, 2000 Denise commented: I love this Web site. I will be introducing it to my two sons ages 5 and 7 tonite after work. I have always been intersted in volcanoes!! As a child I could never read enough about them. Now I hope my own children will be just as curious. My husband is from Guatemala and we have taken them there before. To see all the tops of the volcanoes decending into Guatemala City during a flight was so amazing I had to videotape it! Thanks for all the info on the volcanoes and thanks for having a section devoted to kids!! They deserve it! :)
On September 24, 2000 Mary commented: Your site is on my favorites list. I have always been interested in volcanoes because when I was 5, my aunt had a cottage on the slopes of Mauna Loa. In her letters, she would tell stories about it. For child living in the Midwest it was very exciting. I might say that was 64 years ago. When we visited Hilo for the first time in 1986, we could barely see the glow of one of the first eruptions from Puu Oo. On our second trip, we took a helicopter but could only see a little stream coming from a tube into the ocean. Sometime I would like to see a pahoehoe or an AA flow in action. Keep your stories coming.
On September 15, 2000 Maria commented: You have a terrific site. This site really helped me with my Earth Science class and project on Volcanoes. I now can truly appreciate this magnificent phenomenon.
On September 14, 2000 Jamie commented: Hey, nice site! Your site gives me all the information I want. Because I would like to get into this field, I am here alot and appreciate your information. Thanx.
On September 12, 2000 Emile commented: Congratulations on such a professional site. I have found your site very useful for my Earth Science classes and its current events and the students like this aspect above all others. I have been fascinated with volcanoes since a child and for over thirty years have followed in awe the daring exploits of the world famous vulcanologist, Haroun Tazieff. Also, teaching on the Island of Bougainville, PNG, I had the opportunity for ten years living at Mabiri closeby to the active volcanoes of Bagana and Balbi. During that time I experienced ash clouds and at night, weather permitting, we could view the distant fireworks.
On August 29, 2000 Gen commented: Great Web site! I became interested in volcanoes after visiting the Pico del Teide in the Canary Islands. The volcano pictures are great and there is so much information (I do not have enough time to read so much as I would like.) Too bad there is no more "Ask a Volcanologist" column. I would have liked to ask some questions after acquiring basic knowledge.
On August 28, 2000 Donald commented: Hi, I visited this Web site by finding it through Yahoo. I'm doing a project at school on volcanoes and this site has told me even more than my teacher!
On June 13, 2000 A Reader commented: I went to this Web site with my science class, and I thought it was a great site! I loved making the volcanoes. I think that it is fun yet educational and a wonderful site!!
On June 7, 2000 Natalie commented: What an outstanding Web site! I am a 6th grade teacher and will enjoy giving your address to my students. My daughter was doing a poster about the different types of volcanoes for her 8th grade science class. She found everything she needed including current eruption activity here. Thanks!
On May 31, 2000 Chris commented: I'm a keen amateur and have been fascinated by Volcanoes since I was about ten years old. Finding this site was great and I'm sure I will be a regular visitor. I especially love anything on Mount St. Helens as it was the reason I passed my Geography O Level all those years ago.
On May 25, 2000 Simon commented: I am a keen geologist, but I am currently studying architecture at the university, and with the workload, I don't get much chance to indulge in my hobby anymore and VolcanoWorld is a great way to keep my interest healthy in between studying. Cheers.
On May 22, 2000 Donna commented: The "Build your own volcano" site was very helpful. My students and I built the best volcano second graders have ever made in my classroom! Adding a little soap made all the difference! Thanks!
On May 19, 2000 A Reader commented: Thank you for the great site. I work in cubicle-land, and it is a welcome relief to have something other than real estate in my day. I particularily like the current eruptions and the travel journals from folks visiting volcanoes. Keep up the good work!
On May 17, 2000 A Reader commented: Hi! I am doing a science report on volcanoes, and my teacher suggested this site! I have found almost all the information I need, and all the pix are great!!! I really enjoyed the reports and stories, but I think the best was the pix!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
On April 3, 2000 Olivia commented: Hi! I am an 8th grade student. Ever since I was in the second grade I have found volcanoes very interesting. I then decided that when I got older I was going to become a volcanologist. Now that I have discovered this site, I am even more determined to uphold my dream. Keep up the great work.
On March 12, 2000 Lingling commented: Hi! I've been working on a geography project lately and had to find a total of 30 volcanoes. After finding over 50 sites, this is the only site which prpovides me with the best information! Thanks to you anyway! Keep it up!
On March 7, 2000 Louise commented: I recently visited the Timanfaya National Park on the Island of Lanzarote. Being from the south of England where everything is green, seeing the park is like seeing an alien world. The lava fields went on for miles. There were no people or trees, plants or animals. To be honest if like I, you never really knew anything about volcanic regions, seeing as site like that can be quite frighting. I'm glad I did experience that because you can really learn a lot. Volcanologists have earned my respect.
On March 6, 2000 Dorothy commented: I would like to say thanks for one of the best sites on the Web. I am a Grade 3/4 teacher in Melbourne, Australia and my students are using your site daily to update us on any current volcanic activity around the globe. We only have two computers in our class so I said to the kids whoever comes first in the morning can access the site for any updates. Well as you can imagine, I now have quite a few students banging on the classroom door at 8:30 a.m. wishing to access the site for any news. The kids have spent several lessons browsing through the site answering questions on volcanoes. As a teacher I have found the site to be a valuable teaching and learning tool. The information on how to make a volcano was excellent. At our school, we have four Grade 3/4 classes and you can be assured that we are all using VolcanoWorld regularly to assist in our lessons. Well done on a great site.
On February 25, 2000 John commented: Ran across your site as listed in Popular Science's 50 Best Web sites, so I thought I'd see if there was any news about "My Own" volcano (Mayon). And there was--a big eruption yesterday. I grew up at the foot of Mayon, so observed several eruptions from 1938 to 1942. My dad climbed it at least twice in the 30's--I dropped his ashes on top of it in 1967. It was such a large part of our environment (no pun intended) when I was a kid that I'm always interested in it.
On February 7, 2000 Lauren commented: VolcanoWorld is GREAT! We are doing a project in science, and I got a lot of information on volcanoes from your Web site. Thanks so much.
On February 7, 2000 Britney commented: I used VolcanoWorld to help me with a geography project on Mt. St. Helens. I gave me lots of useful information which eventually gained me an A! Thanks, VolcanoWorld!
On February 4, 2000 Samantha commented: I am a recent graduate in Geology from Anglia Polytechnic University in Cambridge. Throughout my course, my main interest revolved around volcanoes and "hard rock" geology. With my course, I visited Mt. Etna and Stromboli, and my dissertation subject was the extinct volcano of Montana Roja, Lanzarote. The active ones are definitely the best. This is the first time I have visted your site and have found it an exhilerating experience. There is so much information I will have to keep coming back to keep up with it all. I would definitely love to be a volcanologist.
On February 2, 2000 Amileia commented: I am a student doing my GCSE's. My teacher gave me this web address, because I wasn't understanding much about plate tectonics and volcanoes. Since coming on this site, I now understand it all, and it is one of my "favourites." I would like to say thanx very much to the people who made this site, as it has helped me to have a better understanding, which I am sure in turn will help me get a better grade.
On January 25, 2000 Yves commented: Thanks a lot for your outstanding and fascinating Web site. I have seen many volcanes, either in activity or still asleep as la Chaine des Puys (France), la Montagne Pelee (Martinica), or the northwestern Saudi Arabian volcanoes close to the Gulf of Aqaba. I remember also how anxious I was at the top of both Vesuvio (Italy) and Etna (Sicily/Italy). I saw many other "mountains of fire" which are always questioning us upon our insignificant presence on Earth. Your Web site contributes to enlarge the human conscious on the absolute necessity to respect and understand the mysteries of nature. This, for the best benefit of all. Bravo pur votre formidable travail de documentation!
On January 19, 2000 Carol commented:
This is an absolutely fabulous site. My grade 8 class in Ontario Canada is studying "global issues" and part of that study involves understanding how we each have an effect on everyone else in the world. One of the poems that we read talks about the ash from Krakatoa being in the tea that comes from China and this sent them on a search mission about volcanoes. I used to live in British Columbia and in 1980, the ash was abundant from the Mt. St. Helens eruption. This caught their attention and I think that we are now off on a "tangent"!!
On December 31, 1999 David commented:
This is a terrific site! I am a teacher, and my class will be using VolcanoWorld as an information resource for our "Volcanoes Project." This is a great way to teach kids how to use the Internet to find information.
On December 16, 1999 Jessica commented:
Hi, I came into your Web site with my science class. I find the part on the volcanoes very interesting. I like to know about things going on and about history! I think your Web site is very interesting and it is very good for research projects. I like your Web site and next time I come on I hope the Ask-A-Volcanologist is working. Thank you!
On December 5, 1999 Sandra commented:
We studied volcanoes for two weeks and learned many interesting facts from books, a video, an experiment, and your Web site. Each of us wrote a news bulletin detailing the explosion of an imaginary volcano. We wrote the news bulletin, created our own volcanic background image to stand in front of and our teacher video taped each of our reports. We enjoyed the study of volcanoes and appreciated the information given on your site.
On December 2, 1999 Mattias commented:
Hello! I'm 15 and a young student from Sweden. I wrote an essay about volcanoes in French, and your site has been a really good help. Well designed, nice and full of information. Thank you for one of the most informative sites on the Web!
On November 18, 1999 Theo commented:
This is one of the most helpful resources I have encountered on the World Wide Web. I teach 4th grade, and we are studying volcanoes and earthquakes. The information base on this sight is broad, and we have fun and learn something new each time we log on. Thank you!
On November 16, 1999 Sara from Finland commented:
Hello! I noticed you don't have the Finnish spelling for a volcano in your list of different languages. It's a pity, because our language is so different from the indo-european languages that it would be interesting to compare with them. The Finnish spelling for "volcano" is TULIVUORI, and this is directly translated as "fire mountain." Best wishes, your site is magnificent!

Thank you, Sara! Click here, to learn how to say "volcano" in many other languages!
On November 14, 1999 Pete commented:
Thanks for all the information in your great site. There is simply everything I could have ever wanted to know about volcanoes and you've certainly helped me with my school project.
On November 7, 1999 Shae commented:
This is a wonderful site! It is very well developed and packed full of information. I was looking for a virtual field trip to show to a Medical & Technology in Education class. I got much more than I bargained for. I can go a little futher and give other students ideas for thematic units, and many other teaching tools found on this site. Thank you!
On October 30, 1999 Rachel commented:
I would just like to say that the whole of this Web site has really helped me with my Geography project which is due in very soon after half term! I have found loads of information on my chosen volcano. Whoever created this Web site has put a lot of work into it! So thank you! I will recommend you to some of my friends at school. I will also thank my Geography teacher for recommending it to the whole of our form!!
On October 25, 1999 Francesca commented:
I think this Web site is an outstanding Web site for people to find information about volcanoes. My geography class is doing volcanoes at the moment, and we have to suggest a volcano for our project. My best friend and I have decided to do Mount St. Helens, and your Web site has been very useful and helpful. Thank you!
On October 21, 1999 Ashley commented:
It is a fantastic site. I am 13 and I want to be a volcanologist. This site has helped alot.
On October 4, 1999 Laura commented:
I think this is a really cool site! It is very informative and it has helped me a lot with my school work. But I think it could be better if you could chat to people about volcanoes. I will definitely visit this site again!!!!!
On October 3, 1999 Arthur commented:
I think you are doing a great job with your Web site. But could you put up a dictionary of terms?
On October 1, 1999 Donald commented:
What a gorgeous and outstanding site is VolcanoWorld! I wish that I had time to view all 20,000 pages. Browsing the site is almost like actually being there. I have been to Mt. Lassen (N. California) and Crater Lake (now dormant) when I was younger, but now am old, and am so fortunate to be able to visit volcanoes (almost) when I am home.
On September 21, 1999 Rachel commented:
I think this is a really cool Web site!!! I'm doing a science project on land forms. My class is going to Mt. Lassen for science and this gave me a lot of information. Now if my teacher asks me any pop questions then I will be realy. Who ever made this Web site is very smart, COOL!
On September 20, 1999 Becky commented:
Hello, I just wanted to say that this Web site is brilliant! I have to have a volcano project in for geography, so you really helped me out. THANKS!!!
On September 16, 1999 John commented:
This site is fantastic, I am an A level student. The information on the most recent eruptions on display in this site helped me very much while I was studying volcanoes in my college.
On September 9, 1999 A Reader commented:
I started out to find the answer to a question about how long it took vegetation to reappear after a volcanic eruption. I am impressed with the amount of information I found. I was also impressed with the kindness and attention paid to the children who asked questions. Their questions were given equal consideration. Your site is the most friendly site on volcanoes I found, and where I learned the most. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your effors.
On September 6, 1999 Ping commented:
This Web site is simply awesome! It has helped me a lot in my school work because I'm a secondary one student studying about volcanoes. Other than facts of volcanoes, I also get to see their pictures, which is really great. You can bet that I will recommmend it to my friends.
On August 19, 1999 Gary commented:
Great site. I wish that we (my wife and I) had found the site before we had traveled there. We traveled to Mt. Ranier first, I have seen a lot of sites in the past, but Ranier tops them all. We next went to St. Helens and that is an awesome site, pictures do not give the impression that being there does. We visited Mt. Hood and continued down to Crater Lake. Let me say Crater Lake is one great site, but we were there during a thunderstorm and that was really interesting.
On August 15, 1999 Jennifer commented:
I think having VolcanoWorld on the wordwideweb is a great idea!! it is very educational too! When I go to high school next year, I will be taking an Earth Science class. I learned volcanology when I was little, I want to be a scientist when I grow up, I know a lot about volcanoes, I have almost every single volcano book that was ever written.
On August 8, 1999 Rhetta commented:
You have some of the most beautiful images of Pompeii and Herculaneum I have seen, and since that was the article I was reviewing for Study Web, I thank you. I love Pompeii, and the section brightened my research time.
On July 31, 1999 Kathy commented:
Just reinstalled the new version of Netscape today. Haven't been surfing since I wiped out the prior version. Missed all my volcano sites. Found this for the first time today. What have I been missing? WOW! I think volcanoes are really exciting. Been by Kilauea several times, including once in a helicopter! Have bookmarked this site for sure--kids must love it--I do and I am certainly no longer a kid (50). Thank you for this informative, creative site. Keep up the good work.
On July 30, 1999 Jen commented:
Just wanted to tell you how useful your page is! I am studying for a midterm at my college (Dartmouth) and found the glossary of terms to be much more informative than my own class notes. But anyways, keep up the good work.
On July 29, 1999 Mark commented:
This site is awesome!!! I am a volcano lover from way back, and this site is more than I could have wished for on the Internet. Finally, I left a session on the Internet feeling vindicated for the time I put in. Jolly well done.
On July 22, 1999 Kevin commented:
This is a great Web site! The absolutely best site around on volcanoes! Excellent job! I wish there were more sites of this caliber around.
On July 5, 1999 Melissa commented:
Having been to Mt. Merapi (Java), it was great to see the virtual tour. It brought back memories of my trip and this amazing volcano. Great work!
On June 29, 1999 Jan commented:
Awesome site...really enjoyed it. Someday I will get to see one erupt.
On June 28, 1999 Crystal commented:
I am a student very interested in geology and volcanoes. When I stumbled into your site this morning it was like a breath of fresh air! I have never came across a more awesome Web site for this stuff! I'm not awesome on the computer, and I usually have to struggle to get from here to there! But VolcanoWorld was extremely easy to use and provided awesome information, pictures, and references. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! This is definitely one of my favorite sites! I love the pictures and questions you have been able to answer!
On June 4, 1999 A Reader commented:
There are volcanoes (active or dead) in Canada, so if you wouldn't mind, could you put information in your page about anyone. This would be very helpful. Thanks.
On June 4, 1999 Bethan commented:
This is a really great Web site! I am in England now and I have to prepare an essay for an A level exam about volcanoes. This Web site has given me some really great case studies! Thank you very much!
On May 27, 1999 Phil F. commented:
Great Web site! You helped my 10 year old stepdaughter complete a research project. We had lots of fun and learned a bunch of additional stuff while we were looking around. This represents the web at its best!
On May 21, 1999 Tuomo K. commented:
I think this Web site is one of the best in the Internet. "Kiitos" = "thank you" in Finnish.
On May 16, 1999 a Reader commented:
I've visited VolcanoWorld in school and at home and I just want to say that it's a great Web site. Your ideas of introducing volcanology to kids and including interviews are really helpful.
On May 16, 1999 William P. commented:
It is late Sunday, our family of 5 just returned from a weekend in Rochester, New York..We're all exhausted and my 6th grader informs me she has to have a volcano for class tomorrow...Thank God for your Web site...it's now 10:45 p.m. ...she's in bed and her volcano looks great. Thanks so much, A Volcano Maker's Dad.
On May 12, 1999 Jerry commented:
Thank you for this site. I am a 7th grade science teacher at a middle school in North Carolina. I have incorporated this site into two of my online lesson plans. My students have found this site very useful and also a lot of fun. I wish time permitted to use it in two or three more lesson plans, but we must move on to another unit. Again, thank you very much for such an excellent site.
On May 3, 1999 Leo commented:
Hi! We think that the site is cool. We came on it in our IT lesson at Shoeburyness County High School. Try to get the volcano clips to go faster, we got bored of waiting for them!
On Apr 24, 1999 Rafe commented:
My family and I have been following this site for over a year now. We have it as one of our favorite sites. Last year in first grade I did a Science Fair project on Volcanoes and won first place in my school. This year I want to do my project on Volcanoes on other planets.
On Apr 21, 1999 Sean from Ireland commented:
We had to evaluate an Educational Website as part of an Assignment. Having located yours it made my job simple as I found it an excellent site, easy to use and spent more time browsing and learning about volcanoes than I did writing up the report. Keep up the good work.
On Apr 20, 1999 Megan commented:
You website is a great place to hang out! Especially the kids door! My teacher even put this in favorite places!
On Apr 14, 1999 A Reader commented:
Me and my classmates visited your page, and we all had the same number for Visitor of the Month. I tell you I am not pleased with this situation. Please fix it.

The counter on our homepage is updated once a day at midnight. The reason for this delay is that we don't count the number of "hits" each day, but rather the number of distinct visitors. In other words, if you visit our site 5 times in a 24 hour period, it will only be counted once. Last month, we received over 10 million hits and in the neighborhood of 200,000 visitors.

This website has helped me a lot with my school work. It enabled me to complete my projects and I scored high marks for them. Thanx!!!
On Apr 3, 1999 A Reader commented:
Hi! I work with juvenile delinquents at a juvenile correctional facility. They were fascinated by volcanoes. With our ever changing population, we will of course do this unit again. Your resources and site will be an important part of the updated unit. Thanks ever so much.
On Apr 4, 1999 Abby (Grade 4) commented:
I think that your site is very educational. It helped me alot with my volcano report and project!!! My family enjoyed looking at all the real-life pictures of volcanoes.
On Mar 16, 1999 Maria commented:
Hi! I am a high school teacher at a small Catholic school in upstate New York. I found VolcanoWorld recently. I want to thank you for this excellent website! It has sparked my students interest in a way no other tool I've used ever has. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
On Mar 9, 1999 Nila commented:
This is a great site! I am a geologist and I like volcano hiking. I've been to Merapi, Krakatau, Semeru, Kerinci, Gede, and several other volcanoes in Java. To me this site provides useful information on other volcanoes I have to visit!
On Mar 3, 1999 Kathy commented:
My son brought home the dreaded science project, with us only having 2 weeks to do it. He decided on volcanoes and I went to work to look for information on the Internet. Thank GOD for your site. It is absolutely wonderful. In fact, I have spread the address to my nephews and younger cousins and will send some to my son's teacher. Thank you for all the information, pictures, projects, and answered questions. It is greatly appreciated in this household.
On Mar 3, 1999 A Reader commented:
Your website is great! All of the FAQ's are really helpful for my classes and research. Keep this website going, it's great!
On Feb 17, 1999 Andrew commented:
Your site was very helpful to my son who had a school assignment on Volcano's He was able to use lot of the info that you have suppied. Thank you very much.
On Feb 15, 1999 Gregorius G. Suharsono commented:
I want to inform you that at the moment Anak Krakatau in Indonesia active again quite big bang more than 4 times a day. I know it well because my beach house located on the beach, south of Sumatra and I can see the activities of the Anak Krakatau especially in the evening. Please advice address for sending the latest photos, thank you
You may send correspondence to:
VolcanoWorld PO Box 9008 5th Floor, Clifford Hall Grand Forks, ND 58202-9008
We'll make every effort to return the photos to you when we're finished, and to update our eruptions information accordingly.

On Feb 15, 1999 Nancy Hansen commented:
My son has learning disabilities but he found your site very simple to navigate and very informative. He had a project to do for Earth Science on volcanoes and was very pleased with all the information he found here. The pictures were especially interesting to both of us. Thank you for hosting such an easy-to-use and educational site!
On Feb 15, 1999 Jason Hansen commented:
I wouldn't have been as far as I am on my project now if it wasn't for this website! Thanks a lot!
On Feb 10, 1999 Ian "oddjob" Myers commented:
I went to this site for a science project. It had everything I needed to know about volcanos. I even did a mini report on Mt. Etna. I found out how many times it erupted in it's whole life span.
On Feb 9, 1999 jonathan sleath commented:
My 6 year old son has prepared a picture for your Kid's volcano art section. Could you give me an e-mail address for where I could send it to as a JPEG file? I can't seem to find one.

Yes, please send the picture directly to me and I'll make sure it gets placed online. Thanks for the contribution! If you think his class would be interested in having a project posted on our site, please let me know and we can work something out.

On Jan 25, 1999 A Reader commented:
Thank you for putting the pictures and information about volcanos on the internet. It really helped me with my 8th grade research paper in Science.

Again hi to you, here's my second one...
I'm pleased to see enthusiatic people like you bringing such fine sites as yours to the web. Thanks for your site, but... I'm just an old fashoned european and i would like to see some other units: degree "centigrade" instead of (or additional to) "fahrenheit" and the same for "km" and "miles".
If you could do so, great.

That's a good idea. I'll pass it along to our Volcanologists.
Thank You,
--Bryan Petty
