Have u ever wondered how volcano's craters look like ...
I am sure u did - and so did i ...

But today I went a step further and actually saw it :), yeah u guessed it right, on wikimapia ...

http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=40.820776&lon=14.426336&z=15&l=0&m=a&v=2 shows the one in Vesuvius, Italy. Remember the chapters in our little old (chho chhweeet) 2nd / 3rd / 4th std books ... :), which had it mentioned some where in them.

Here is another one in Japan, and this one, hold your breath [but not too long, please :) **], is active - or, for some of you more-logic-oriented (baal ki khaal nikalne valon) types, was active when the photo was taken .. :).

For best effect on this one,
go to http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=31.579852&lon=130.659285&z=13&l=0&m=a&v=2 first, and then gradually zoom out ... - Mast effect hai ...
