Topic: British Geological Survey opens up its image archive

[Simon]

Ever wondered if there was a volcano under your home?  Well, now you can find out by using the British Geological Survey's (BGS) new OpenGeoscience portal.  It allows the public to study all the UK's rocks on a simple Google map, down to a "scale" of 1:50,000. Toggling the map shows overlying towns and streets.

Sometimes, it feels like there's a volcano around, specially after a curry.
