The heat is on at Iziko - volcanic
talk
On 29 April, at 18:30 for 19:00 at Iziko South African Museum, Dr
John Rogers, a marine sedimentologist in the Dept of Geological
Sciences at UCT, will present a talk entitled ‘A marine geotourist’s
view of volcanoes’. Based on his personal visits to these highly
charged sites, this sizzling event will be enhanced with DVD
footage, specimens for handling and the opportunity to peruse some
compelling publications.
Volcanoes occur mainly at plate tectonic boundaries, such as the
so-called ‘ring of fire’ around the Pacific that includes the
famous, and still-active, Krakatoa, scene of a series of cataclysmic
eruptions in 1883.
Hosted by Friends of SA Museum, the event is free for Friends and
R20 for guests. Come early and enjoy a glass of sherry with Friends.
