      Researching volcanoes can be great fun, it can also be hard work. I spend all my time researching volcanoes, but unfortunately not all of my time up a volcano. Al lot of research is done using laboratory experiment that let us recreate the conditions inside the volcano – as we can’t go there ourselves we need to find other ways of working out what happens.
