Feature sneak peek: Sleeping giant Something melted a hole through the glacier above the Mount Meager volcano in 2016.

At his feet, the icy ground ended at a precipice. On the other side, he could see a cave. Stenner was looking into a seven-metre-wide chasm. Across it, toxic steam gushed from a tunnel, obscur- ing what lay behind. The air reeked of rotten eggs — a warning sign of hydrogen sulfide gurgling up from somewhere inside. Over there, Stenner thought, is where I need to be. |
