Given a chance, that hot-spot could grow a new island, like those that come & go off Iceland...

I'm glad the threatened tsunami was a no-show...

Its a beautiful spectical, wild and savage. The energy waves from it tend to mess up the field for a bit though .

It is global warming - from the inside. Actually your comment is rather interesting in that at one time it was volcanic eruptions that thawed out the snowball earth after the entire globe had frozen over. How did they do it? They emitted vast quantities of greenhouse gases.
