For years, social media users have shared images and videos they claimed show Elephant Rock, a naturally formed geological ...

The ash cloud produced by the eruption of a sub-glacial volcano in Iceland brought chaos to the European air industry between 14 and 21 April. Since then, disruption to flights has continued ...

For several years now, we've been following a tantalizing story indicating that the high heat of the ash cloud generated when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD was sufficiently hot to turn one of the ...
