Just A Quick One

Just to a quick note to highlight the importance of media in geography today. I managed to catch a repeat of Top Gear over the last couple of days in which one of the presenters was faced with the challenge of collecting some freshly fallen molten rock in Iceland.

Firstly, although a very short piece it was an excellent visual example of a volcano at work, and being a modern show which the majority of people are aware of and watch, is easily accessible. It's great that how the simplest of things can produce useful resources.

Secondly, how on earth did they get permission to do that?!?
