Hi, Graham–
Welcome to the forum/section!
There are people here who are keen to know about any and all volcano news; I
have recently been learning about a volcano mail-list (download INTERN.TXT in
this forum's library for details on how to use) and regular postings of volcano
news in the newsgroup sci.geo.geology (download SCIGEO.TXT for more).
What do you have by way of volcanoes in the UK? Is this a hobby that requires
you to travel a lot to see any? I am sure there are old ones, but I do not
recall hearing of any active ones over there.
Do you collect any minerals? As an amateur collector of fluorescent minerals,
I am fond of the brilliantly-fluorescent fluorites from the area of Weardale
and Alston Moor – not only are they stunning specimens, but they are what led
to the discovery of ultraviolet and fluorescence.
