The Indonesian island of Krakatoa
probably caused history's most
destructive volcanic eruption. In 1883
the huge volcanic island of Krakatoa
blew up in four gigantic explosions.
Krakatoa flung billions of tons of rock,
debris, and ash as high as 17 miles into
the air. The explosion caused a huge sea
wave 120 feet high that killed 30,000
people. The sound of the explosion was
heard as far as southern Australia, more
than 2,200 miles away.

"The metal probe shows no sign of a bomb
in Krakatoa," you tell Commander Pum S.
Stone over the radio.

"Then there should be no sign of you
in Krakatoa, [NAME]," snorts Commander
Pum S. Stone. "The world is about to be
hurled into destruction, and you're
horsing around on an island in Southeast
Asia. Now get going!"

The Firefly sinks slowly into the
steaming lava of this Icelandic volcano.
"It's nice to see that Surtsey is still
there," says N2FACE.

"Why do you say that?" you ask.

"Surtsey was one of three volcanoes
that suddenly rose out of the sea near
Iceland," explains N2FACE. "The other
two have since disappeared."

"Oh, that's charming," you say. "Let's

technique while we're down here." You
order N2FACE to launch a metal probe
into the lava to search for a bomb.

The probe shoots out and disappears
into the swirling, boiling lava.

"Great! The metal probe has detected a
large metallic object near the Firefly,"
you say, looking at the computer
readings.

Now you must defuse the bomb so it
can't explode!  You tell N2FACE to
connect a cable to the bomb's computer.
As soon as the cable is attached, a
series of letters appears on the Firefly
computer screen.

It is a set of secret code letters!
N2FACE can only figure out part of the
code!

will be if you don't defuse that bomb,"
says N2FACE. "You'd better try again."

Surtsey is one of the newest volcanoes
to appear. On November 14, 1963, a
volcano appeared out of the sea about
three miles off the southernmost
Icelandic island, Heimaey Island.
It kept growing bigger until by the
end of the year it was a circular island
567 feet high and one square mile wide.

Whether on land or under the sea,
volcanoes, like Surtsey, are usually
caused by movement of the earth's
tectonic plates. The earth's crust is
broken up into several of these enormous
plates. Tectonic plates move very slowly
and they collide with one another. The
pressure caused by these collisions is
so high that rock melts. Surtsey was
formed by the plates moving apart and
molten rock rising between them. It is
this molten rock that usually comes to
the surface through volcanoes.

The metal probe finds no trace of a bomb
in Surtsey.

"It looks like there isn't a bomb in
Surtsey after all," you tell Commander
Pum S. Stone over the radio.

"So what, may I ask, are you doing on
a frozen island in the north Atlantic
Ocean--gathering samples for your ice
cube collection?" yells the commander.
"Find those bombs!"

The Firefly touches down inside the
Alaskan volcano of Mt. Katmai.

"What was that huge area covered in mist
that we passed near Mt. Katmai?" you
wonder.

"That mist is really smoke and steam
coming from vents and gas pockets formed
by an eruption," explains N2FACE. "The
area is now known as the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes."

In 1912, Mt. Katmai and a nearby
volcano, Novarupta, erupted. The
eruptions sent seven cubic miles of
burning ash and lava into the valley of
Ukak. Now the valley of Ukak is called
the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.

Mt. Katmai is part of the Pacific Ring
of Fire, a series of volcanoes that
circle the Pacific Ocean. Most of the
world's active volcanoes are part of
this Ring. It is estimated that 2,500
volcanoes have been active in man's
history. Two thousand of those volcanoes
are situated around the Pacific. Today
there are between 500 and 800 active
volcanoes in the world.

in Alaska. Now find those bombs."

"What happened here?" you ask in
astonishment as the Firefly descends
towards Mt. St. Helens. Thousands of
trees around the mountain are lying on
their sides.

"It looks like a horde of crazed beavers
was here," you say.

"Those trees were knocked down when Mt.
St. Helens exploded in 1980," explains
N2FACE.

The Firefly descends into the boiling
crater of Mt. St. Helens.

"If Mt. St. Helens can cause that much
damage on its own, imagine what will
happen if Dr. No explodes a bomb in it,"
you say. You order N2FACE to launch a
metal probe into the lava to look for a
bomb.

The probe shoots out into the bubbling
orange magma.
