Sulfur crystals, fumarole vent, Nisyros Volcano
Sulfur crystals on a fumarole vent of Nisyros Volcano, Greece. The Sulfur is probably formed from a redox reaction involving hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide, both produced from magmatic activity, and in the presence of moisture. Water is the other product (most of it as steam).
