They have already witnessed and experienced the adventure of a lifetime! Why do they have to stay there two months!

I opened the link below and the one at the bottom, but couldn't copy and paste. You can probably open it,too.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE MOST ACTIVITY THEY'VE HAD IN 10 YEARS! AND THEY WILL BE CAMPING THERE! WILLIE, WHO SPENDS TIME THERE ONCE A YEAR IS WITH THEM AND HE KNOWS THE AREA THEY SAY IS SAFEST FROM THE VOLCANO. GARRETT AND THOM HAVE RESPIRATORS THAT ARE CERTIFIED FOR ASH AND DUST.
I'm asking for lots more angels for them....Linda

Plume from Mount Pagan

Mount Pagan—the northeastern member of a pair of volcanoes comprising a diminutive Pacific island—released a plume of ash and steam on April 15, 2009. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image the same day. In this image, the volcano releases a faint plume that blows toward the northwest over the Pacific Ocean. The plume appears darkest at its northwestern extremity. Closer to the summit, white puffs appear. They could be part of the plume or they could be clouds, which are prone to gather over summits.
Pagan Island is a pair of stratovolcanoes—conical volcanoes composed of alternating layers of lava, ash, and rocks—connected by a narrow strip of land. Most of the historic eruptions on this island have occurred on the northeastern volcano. Pagan is part of the Mariana Islands and like its neighbors, results from rising magma as one tectonic plate moves over another. An astronaut photo from 2007 shows the island in more detail.
