• Support per nom. Wonderful colours. I have edited the caption here and on the description page. Can you add any information about the location? A geocode would be ideal, but even just the general area would be useful (the northeast rift zone, say). -- Avenue (talk) 07:47, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Geolocation was added. Thank you for fixing the subject.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

• Support I was going to oppose due to huge shadows making details hard to view, but that's not shadows... I never thought lava went THAT dark so good EV as I've learnt something today... Gazhiley (talk) 11:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
