Workers at Ormat, one of the world's largest geothermal producers, discovered the magma in October 2005 when they hit a chamber of the magma about a mile and a half down while drilling an injection well.The substance quickly rose about 20 feet up into the drill hole before becoming glasslike as it cooled. Ormat workers re-drilled the area several times, with the same result?
Again, what exactly is your point? That a magma chamber was drilled into in a known rift zone? It has happened before. That they pulled up several cores from the drilling site so that it could be studied? That they then capped that well and had to begin another one?
