There is a superb post about Jupiter’s highly volcanically active moon Io over at Geology News. This kind of richly-illustrated, detailed article really is the geoblogosphere at its best, and is one of Dave Schumaker’s two contributions to what promises to be a first-rate Accretionary Wedge on ‘Geology in Space’. Highly recommended – go and take a look.

N.B. Geology News has passed the 400 posts milestone – congratulations!
