    Carried away by the lava flow, this incandescent boulder launched by an explosion from the eruptive cone, tapered during the downward fall. Particularly well shaped and large. I have called it "Bomb" of the Thinker, because whoever finds it in front of him on his way, remains there for a long time in admiration.
