 </span></blockquote>Been there, done that. It&#39;s more believable if you know that the <br/>
water and sand are heated by volcanic activity - you have to be <br/>
careful not to boil a foot along that section of beach. Behind the <br/>
group, to the left of the picture, are the ruins of a Chilean base <br/>
that was hit by a pyroclastic flow in the (I think) 1960s, <br/>
fortunately after the personnel had been evacuated - an amazing <br/>
wreckage of twisted girders. Farther up the beach, behind the <br/>
photographer, is a British base similarly abandoned.<br/>
