There was an IMAX movie on volcanoes and earthquakes (probably called
Ring of Fire). that I saw a few times when it played at the
Children's Museum of Indianapolis years ago. After several intense
scenes about earthquakes in Tokyo, the movie showed another
geothermal effect: hot springs. The shots of monkeys enjoying the
springs (in a snowstorm) always made people laugh.
