Many of you saw the post the other day on the blog for the Geological Society of London about the so-called "Top 5 Volcanic Lairs for Evil Geologists." It was a fun piece, ranking Atlasov, Surtsey, Jabal Al-Tair, Fogo and Stromboli as the best choices. Now, those are some good locations but I think they really missed the boat on this one. If I were to pick a lair for my diabolical plans (which really, I'm not. Really. Honestly.) I'd want something that really strikes fear into the hearts of the masses and is so remote that it would take any nation hours to send even aircraft to find me. I'd want a place with ready access to an army of minions. And I'd want a lava lake (OK, that does jack up the price a little bit, but whatever, I've got money to burn). I would choose Mt. Erebus. Hands down.
