This is absolutely amazing! Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that such a process could occur naturally!

However, it does make me somewhat glad to be living in an extraordinarily stable and temperate region of the Earth where landslides, floods, volcanos and earthquakes are largely something that happens to other people.

Keeping it this way is just one of the many reasons to oppose the Tories' scheme for large scale and government-backed fracking in the UK.
