Holy Smoke! (er, maybe...)




This may or may not be relevant to our last couple of weeks' discussions about theories of interpretation of faith narratives. Did you ever wonder what Moses saw on the mountain? One set of theories reports that one of the nuclei of factuality in these accounts of the revelations to Moses is that the accounts have some details that might resemble a volcanic event. At any rate, that's what I thought of when I saw these pictures from currently-active Mount Redoubt in Alaska. These photos and many more are posted at the Alaska Volcano Observatory website. They also update their page several times daily, as events develop with Redoubt and her sister volcanoes.
