Galapagos Volcano Erupting

Oh goddess! One of the ladies from the investment club is headed off for a Galapagos adventure next month - and here is this volcano erupting its head off on what I understand to be one of the larger of the islands (?) The eruptions started a week or two ago, and have been happening off and on since then. I emailed G about a news reports I saw some time last week. At the time, we joked about hoping her mother didn't find out! But the eruptions haven't ceased - drat! G, I do hope your long-awaited, once-in-a-lifetime tour won't be unduly affected. Here's the latest: From physorg.com Volcanic eruption takes toll on Galapagos wildlife April 16th, 2009 Image: Aerial handout photo released by the Galapagos National Park (PNG) on April 12, 2009 of the eruption of the La Cumbre volcano in Fernandina island, Galapagos, Ecuador. A volcanic eruption over the weekend has taken a toll on the wildlife of the ecologically-fragile Galapagos Islands, causing the deaths of numerous fish and various sea lions, said officials on Thursday. *************************************************************************** Not exactly what I'd want to see during a once-in-a-lifetime trip: dead animals floating on the ocean. Oh my.
