* ArtisticLicenseGeology: Nina tells Molly she's watching an "exploding volcano." Volcanologists make a distinction between explosive eruptions and effusive eruptions. The former are far more dangerous, while the latter are generally characterized by spectacular lava fountains and gentle lava flows. The volcano Nat's team is watching is definitely experiencing a more effusive eruption. Though it's likely Nina called it an "exploding" volcano to get Molly hyped up and motivated to bring her the camera.
