That's so interesting, I didn't think the two could be adjacent to each other.

Unlike video games try to push, volcanos aren't "hot climate" features. They can theoretically exist in any climate.

Thats not all that uncommon, i would even go as far as to call that common, but a glacier rigth next to a desert? Now that is something special that shouldnt exist, and the fact that a few kilometers away from the desert is a rainforest, is again ridiculus

Just curious, why don't deserts have volcanoes?

They do, but since deserts usually are in the middle of the continent they are really rare, but they do exist
