It has been an eventful week, hasn't it? So, I'm going to end it with a new Mystery Volcano Photo - the first since the move to Wired. The last MVP had two winners - the first was Medicine Lake's Glass Mountain that erupted around 1,100 years ago - Robert Somerville got it on the first try. I posted a second MVP that took a little longer to get a correct answer, but Don Crain got it with Lost Jim Cone in Alaska. Our current standings:

  • Boris Behncke - 7

  • Don Crain - 6

  • The Bobs - 4

  • Chris Reykjavik - 3

  • gijs - 2

  • Doug C. - 2

  • Robert Somerville - 2

  • volcanista - 1

  • Lockwood - 1

  • Elizabeth - 1

  • Ralph - 1

  • Anne - 1

  • Cam - 1

  • gg - 1

  • Damon Hynes - 1

  • Marco - 1

  • Robin Campion - 1

  • Jan Nygard - 1
