About event
Follow the footsteps of cryovulcanism to the coldest places of the solar system, where the rich lava is replaced by ice and water. Together, we look at months like Enceladus, Europa or Triton, which are the center of the attention of those who are looking for extraterrestrial life due to their ice volcanoes. But we do not only stay with the theory. We also look into the laboratory, where with the help of a low -pressure chamber there are experiments simulating conditions prevailing on these distant worlds. We will find out what the cryovulcanic eruption looks like, what causes it and how we can explore these processes.
