Thener: I've got fire and ice. It's a great title. Most of the volcanoes out in the solar system, particularly when we go past the asteroid bell, out to jupiter and beyond, most of the bodies out there are actually ice volcanoes. So these are these active plates we wetwyking like. Do people even know we have volcanoes other places? Thener: You're so curious about something. Is there a we know what we think volcanoes. We think of hot thingsand so why is the word ice in your title yet? Good question.
