comments,
- We\re gazing down at an island…""With a truly explosive name
- The sea floor here literally bubbles with geologic activity.""Visitors are drawn to both the underwater action and to the islands above
- After the hiking, scuba diving, and mud baths, we can return to the main island…""To sample one of its famous desserts
- The ancient Romans believed the smoldering peak was the chimney of a god\s metal workshop.""They named the island for the divine blacksmith, and we inherited a name for erupting mountains
