[edit] Planetary lava tubes ?

Are there evidences of lava tubes on Moon, Mars ?Hektor 07:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subways

IS there any evidence as to where lava can flow through man-made tubes such as subways and waterways (a la the movie Volcano that starred Tommy Lee Jones)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.70.254 (talkcontribs)

Well, if it takes the path of less resistance, I don't see why not. It's just not likely to be there in the first place. Science fiction just capitalizes on that which can possibly happen, no matter how unlikely. I think subways would fill in soon. Lava tubes that are active are dynamic things that can slowly move about. It would have to coat the subway and have enough heat retention to keep the lava fluid. Who knows. --DanielCD 17:49, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lava tube photo

I restored back the photo I had loaded earlier this year that wsiegmund had removed. The image there was blurry, and orange from the show cave lighting used. The uploaded image better shows the colors one actually sees in a tube and how it looks. Dave Bunnell 01:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, I put the other photo back in, and used {{ImageStackRight}} to put all the photos along the right side. No need to haggle over photos when the article can easily accommodate both. Thanks. --Seattle Skier (talk) 11:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
