Eruptions Mailbag Call

I've been seeing a lot of questions popping up in the comments - and for me, I find it difficult to answer them in the confines of post comments. Many of them are quite good and would probably be of interest to lots of Eruptions readers, so I thought maybe it is time for another Eruptions mailbag post.

So, without further ado, email me your burning volcano-related questions! Send them to i-84cc6bc3cf2966742ba05c49f79ef53a-email.jpg by February 15, and I'll try to answer as many as I can in a mailbag post.

Looking forward to your questions!
