Name That Volcano
Quick! Name 15 volcanoes in the next 30 seconds.
Time’s up.
Couldn’t do it? Don’t worry, neither can I. *
That’s why I’m so impressed by the people who play Big Think’s Mystery Volcano Photo game. Not only do they know their volcanoes, but they can recognize them from even from vague photos like this. Amazing.
So maybe you or I won’t win the Mystery Volcano Photo game, but I hope we’re all at least aware of the volcanoes that surround us here in the Pacific Northwest – and prepared just in case of an eruption. Can you name just two of our local lava cones? (Not counting Mt. Saint Helens… that’s too easy.)
*Though I’m proud to say I can pronounce “Eyjafjallajökull” thanks to this video.
