FLATTOP 4,509 Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 I’ve visited Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua and the viewing time at the crater is very limited due to fumes and unpredictable nature of the place, apparently a week before I was there a big lump of lava spewed out and landed on top of a tourist bus fortunately empty at the time burnt it to a crisp, while I was there all I wanted to do was sacrifice a goat by lobbing it into the crater my wife told me not to be so silly lol…. Extraordinary Earth: How Nicaragua's Masaya Volcano helps cool the planet - Good Morning America WWW.GOODMORNINGAMERICA.COM In the countdown to the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, "GMA" and our partner Nat Geo present "Extraordinary Earth: 20 in 2020." 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
