Lighting a cigarette Iceland style
Forgot your lighter? Use a glowing red rock of molten lava from an erupting volcano.

As shitty as the news of the latest earthquake in Christchurch is, I still think it’s hilarious that my coworker Sam has been on holiday in Christchurch during both of the last two earthquakes.
He would have flown back to Auckland yesterday, but was delayed by volcanic ash from the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle eruption.
Worst luck ever?

My cousin in Italy emailed me last week and we’ve been chatting a bit. He freaked out when I told him I lived right next to a volcano. I had to explain the whole “dormant, not explode-y” thing to him (which was a challenge because his English doesn’t really stretch to geology just yet.)
