1. Think of Cream of Wheat cooking--

steam bubbles rising through the thick cooked cereal, cratering in little explosions as they reach the surface.

Replace the steam with subsurface methane rising, and I think you get the picture.

2. It's ancient aliens I tell you!

They've been hiding there for centuries and now they're coming out of hiding 'cause they're pissed at Georgio for ratting them out like Geraldo Rivera.

Now we're all gonna die!

3. No! No!

It's the entrance to the center of the earth, not the old one in Iceland. Somewhere down there is James Mason (or maybe Brendan Fraser).

4. Looks like Mother Earth has had enough of us

and is farting in our general direction.

6. I'm not sure I'd want to camp in such a place.

Sleeping in your tent and BLAM! there you are flying through the air with tons of ice and dirt.

Even worse if you're cooking dinner or heating water for tea. Then you are flying in a fireball with tons of ice and dirt.

7. I don't like the looks of this.
