Danger Island – Volcanos of Stromboli
The island of Stromboli, only 12.6 sq km in size, is something of a natural wonder. Its resident volcano is one of the only constantly active volcanoes in the world, and explodes dozens of times every day. When it does, it sends ash and lava fragments in to the air, and occasional rivers of lava into the sea. Pretty dramatic stuff, but not life-threatening – well, not that often anyway.
Over the last century, there have been only three or four major explosions that have claimed lives and destroyed homes on the island. The last big one occured in 2003, and, as a result, the island was closed off to tourists for two years afterwards. Another burst happened in April of 2009.
Go GREEN…Grass covered Cars
Have you people ever saw such creativity on cars….or the revolution to be GREEN.
The A3 hatchback is the cheapest way into Audi ownership these days and has the likes of the BMW 1 Series and VW Golf in its firing line.
Driving it feels light and relatively precise. The body is 54 per cent steel, with subframes and other sundries made of aluminium, but the way the car is reinforced strategically, rather than just fattened up, makes all the difference to the driving experience.
It’s well known that Audi know how to make an interior and the A3’s maintains the car maker’s high reputation with the inside a joy to sit in. It’s not flamboyant, just very simple with dark plastics and clear dials, all beautifully manufactured.
