To help portray the speeds of the world's fastest lava flows, I created an animation to show their speeds side by side. This includes distinct lava flows from Nyiragongo, Mauna Loa, and other volcanoes. I coded the images to move frame by frame in code, and it took a long time to make this animation. Please give it some love!
