  Lamington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lamingtons are a type of sponge cake (or more traditionally, butter cake) squares, coated in a layer of flavoured gelatin (or traditionally chocolate icing or strawberry jam), then desiccated coconut.
Lamingtons are most likely named after Charles Baillie, 2nd Baron Lamington, who served as Governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901.
Ironically, Lord Lamington was known to have hated the dessert that had been named in his honour, once referring to them as "those bloody poofy woolly biscuits".

 The Structural Effects of Pyroclastic Flow
Lamington lies near the northern edge of Papua, New Guinea, and had no known history of volcanic activity prior to January 1951, when an ash plume and seismic activity were observed beginning January 15 [Macdonald 1972].
Taylor identified an inner zone of total destruction, where the kinetic force and temperature of the nueée destroyed nearly everything in the region, surrounded by a region of partial destruction, where the velocity of the nueée had reduced and the damage was primarily due to temperature [1958, p.
Overriding Taylor's analysis of events at Mt Lamington is the observation that the effects of temperature, direction, and kinetic energy may have significant local variations.
