What If You Dumped an Iceberg Into a Volcano?
In a matter of days, a nearby volcano will erupt, spewing debris and lava, and decimating your city. You know that fighting fire with fire usually makes things worse, but maybe you could fight fire with ice. What happens when lava suddenly cools down? How much ice would you need? Does adding ice to a volcanic eruption make it better or worse? Would an iceberg stop the volcanic eruption? What is sublimation? How does tephra form? Would Mount Michael be the ideal place to put an iceberg into a volcano?

Long story short: If a volcano wants to erupt, it’s going to erupt it. They’re among the most dangerous and destructive forces on this planet and NOTHING can stop them!

Did you miss maybe something? Isnt it dangerous to introduce with anything so much hot, the story goes that water analizes to O2 and H, where H becomes explossive, probably making volcano much more dangerous….. Am I right?

I allready know it would be a mistake, when the volcano erupts, a bunch of material shot upwards wich would make the ice berg become part of it
