In fact, the Milky Way is littered with them. Fire and Ice explores the Solar System's volcanoes and is an unusual look into how these cosmic features are made and whether they are the key to life on other planets.We tend to think of volcanoes as disgorging hot, molten lava and emitting huge, billowing clouds of incandescent ash.
