Glassy Rock Desert

The Glassy Rock Desert was a region of rocky, basaltic desert in the former Thames Valley of England.The Thames Valley Catastrophe by Grant Allen - Project Gutenberg Australia - Retrieved 14 January 2023
== History ==
Steam from the former Thames River became trapped beneath the considerable weight of basalt left behind by the fissure eruption. Its occasional escape led to earthquakes; the position of Seismologer Royal was created by the new regime to forecast the earthquakes in the hopes of mitigating their effects.
A look-out tower manned by the Earthquake and Eruption Department was built close to the former location of the village of Cookham. (PROSE: The Thames Valley Catastrophe)
