	Volcano - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		A volcano is a geological landform (usually a mountain) where magma (rock of the Earth's interior made molten or liquid by extremely high temperatures along with a reduction in pressure and/or the introduction of water or other volatiles) erupts through the surface of the planet.
		Some volcanoes consist of a crater alone, with scarcely any mountain at all; but in the majority of cases the crater is situated on top of a mountain (the volcano), which can tower to an enormous height.
		Volcanoes that terminate in a principal crater are usually of a conical form.

	Everything Science - New Software on NASA Spacecraft Monitors Active Volcano
		After taking an image of Erebus, the software detected heat from the lava lake at the summit of the volcano and reprogrammed the camera to take more pictures.
		Typically, it could take months to learn a remote volcano was active and scientists normally would need to take measurements at the volcano to detect the same type of event.
		Future versions of the software also may be used to track dust storms on Mars, search for ice volcanoes on Europa, and track activity on Jupiter's volcanically active moon Io.
