What do I do at work? Well, I´m trying to decipher a volcano that was formed in eruption under the last ice age glacier here in Iceland. It´s complicated. Which is why I looked up a quote from one of my college books:
"...the late Frank Schairer, once remarked that, to understand igneous rocks, a geologist must first learn "to think like a molten silicate.""
Change 'igneous rocks' to 'subglacial volcanoes' and 'molten silicate' to 'molten ice quenching magma, explosions and chaos' - and you´ll know what this task feels like. Challenging.
