Volcanos are pretty awesome. I live a few miles from a very big, active one but it hasn't erupted yet while I've been here.

  We live pretty close to one, as it hasn't erupted in quite a long time people have taken the opportunity to build a nice castle and city where it used to be: http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/gsl/cache/offonce/education/resources/rockcycle/page3675.html http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/gsl/cache/offonce/education/resour... Not sure I would want to live close to a live one!

    It makes for some awesome views when I'm traveling through this country (Nicaragua): http://imagenes.viajeros.com/fotos/z/zc/zcanimxa-1241380835-bg.jpg http://imagenes.viajeros.com/fotos/z/zc/zcanimxa-1241380835-... That's the one about 10km from me. The third largest city in this country and it's still got colonial buildings so it can't be too dangerous. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Crist%C3%B3bal_Volcano#Eruptive_history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Crist%C3%B3bal_Volcano#Erup...

      One of the most spectular places I have visited is Santorini - which is basically an island formed from the caldera walls of a large volcano. There are entire villages perched on the edge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorini http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorini
