Description

Scotland, Argyll, Glencoe Glen Coe is the remains of an ancient supervolcano that erupted with a force of VEI-8. It is considered to be one of the best examples of Cauldron subsidence. The eruption happened about 420 million years ago during the Silurian period, and the volcano has long since become extinct. The landscape was further shaped by the processes of glaciation during the last ice age, 10,000 years ago. Have a good start into the new week and a relexed holiday! ;o)

I can only imagine how it was back in those days when the erupting volcano was active. Back then and now, it is still a place for picture taking. Beautiful green blanket of lush vegetation. Aloha
