Drillers break into magma chamber

Hot stuff here. Anyone fancy a holiday in Hawaii?

Drillers looking for geothermal energy in Hawaii have dug a well right into a magma chamber. The magma specialist said it was like "chilled pancake syrup". They were surprised how hot it was and how close to the surface. Did nobody tell them about Hawaii's volcanoes?!! Nice video here too from the BBC. Link here.

Travels around the world

The BBC Box is now in Los Angeles
It has now arrived in Los Angeles, from China, with a load of health and personal care products, beauty supplies and gardening supplies
The journey from Sendai in Japan took 10 days. It now carries measuring tapes going to New Jersey by train. There is a video on this here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7764789.stm
However because of the world’s money problems there is less demand for a lot of China’s products and the this means fewer ships are needed to transport lots of goods around the world. Will this affect the BBC box?

China

BBC Scotlands China Series has a lot of good info on China. Good for S4, 5 and 6 to revise from.

Great images here from Richard Allaway. S2 should link this in to our studies of globalisation after we have completed the chocolate surveys.
