IMDB Intro
I don't know who wrote the synopsis of the movie on IMDB, but did anyone else noticed that they spelled "volcanologist" wrong? On the site it is, "vulcanologist" as in Mr. Spock!! Who edits these things?
shareAccording to dictionary.com BOTH volcanologist and vulcanologist are correct spellings of that word.
