Lavaloid

Today's edition of Strange-Shaped Sunday (not a series) contains the strangest shape yet. Unfortunately, said shape is the solution to this Rail Pool, so I can't show it without spoiling the puzzle.

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all cells. Some boldly outlined regions contain number clues. If a straight loop segment visits any cells of a clued region, its length must match one of these numbers. Each number must correspond to at least one such loop segment. (Note for segments contained partially within the region, the number still refers to the total length of the segment)

This genre has been covered three (!!) times before, feel free to check them out:
