Scorched earth

This is a lava forest.

Or, it WAS a forest, then lava came and made it not a forest.

I really could not say, as I do not know what constitutes a "forest".

And I can not explain how lava erupted from this volcano, poured down the mountain and wiped out all of the living things in it's wake.

And how; as the lava cooled it formed hills and valleys of hardened lava.

And how; nothing will ever grow here, because dry lava rocks aren't so good for the soil.

But, as I am not a scientist, and more specifically a scientist of lava, I can not explain any of those things.

I really can't even make claims that any of it is true.

It's pretty neat though.

Regardless of the science involved.
