Friends, readers, Volcaneers, lend me your ear. I am finally getting some respite from my dayjob and am enjoying a bonus off-day for at least the next few months. Starting next week, I promise to put some time in on my volcano-webcams map as well as resume reposting Volcano Cafe articles.

Also I must give due recognition to Cauldron of Vulcan for being my other inspiration. There you can find summaries of the day's most interesting volcanic activity in English and French.

I discovered the GVP back in 2011 after having rediscovered my love of volcanoes following the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull. Since then, it has been my go-to source for volcano data and also inspired me to start my Volcano Earth and Volcano News projects. Here's how GVP does what GVP does best.
