Gunnuhver is the name of an impressive and colourful geothermal field of various mud pools and fumaroles in the southwest part of the Reykjanes Peninsula.
La Solfatare est un volcan situé à proximité de la ville de Pouzzoles, à l'ouest de Naples, la deuxième plus grande agglomération du pays avec quatre millions d'habitants, dans la région italienne de Campanie, au sud de la chaîne principale des Apennins.
La Solfatare constitue la zone la plus active parmi les quelque quarante volcans faisant partie du complexe volcanique des champs Phlégréens. Après le Vésuve, il est le second grand volcan actif à proximité immédiate de Naples.
In Alaska, flying is an essential way of life. Large commercial jets need a mile and half of runway and therefore are able to serve only a handful of large airports. Other rural places are commuted by ‘bush planes’, which do fine with shorter gravel runways. On our trip back to Anchorage from Port Alsworth (Lake Clark National Park), we had our seats in a ‘scheduled’ air taxi service. Our pilot was a young energetic man with a sporty Ray-Ban – Lyle. His co-pilot was his dad – Dave – the retired founder of this family-owned airline company, who was co-piloting today just for fun. Lyle had picked up a couple of passengers from Iliamna, a mining village located at the southern end of the Cook Inlet. The name of the village sounded familiar and triggered a geographical estimation in my head… to get back to Anchorage, we were due north-east along the Cook Inlet. Wasn’t there an active volcano along the way? Mt. Iliamna?
‘Are we flying by that volcano?’, I asked loudly over the engine from my last row seat.
Lyle turned around and replied with a mischievous smile, ‘We can.…’
‘Will it be on our left or the right?’, I enquired sheepishly.
With his smile intact, perhaps now a bit more mystified, Lyle asked, ‘Which side do you want it to be?’
Really? We were going to fly-by a volcano? With a gingerly grin and well-rounded, blinking chipmunk eyes, I pointed to my window on the right. The 70-200mm set-up was on me…, ‘if we fly near enough the volcano’, I thought, 'there might be a decent chance of a decent shot.'
‘Please buckle up. We will be in Anchorage in an hour’, Lyle ended our discussion with a formal public announcement and rolled out the Cessna Caravan on the gravel runway. Airborne, we maintained altitude at about two-three thousand feet above the beautiful Alaskan taiga, which was punctuated here and there by a lake, bay, or a snaking river. Soon after, Rishabh dozed off; our day hike earlier had been quite strenuous. I kept photographing the stunning scenery half-heartedly. The air-quality was poor; between that haze and the sub-optimal optics of my windowpane (for photography), most photos were ending up looking devilishly dirty. I will figure something out in Photoshop, I thought, and kept shooting.
Suddenly, we started gaining elevation. A lot of elevation. Perhaps there was a cloud bank ahead and Lyle was pulling up to maintain his line of vision (three miles of visibility is required by law for vision-based flying). Curious, I looked out of the window. Ahead of us, there were no cloud banks. Instead, about 30 seconds dead ahead of our craft was a massive white cone standing above everything else in stark relief against the azure Alaskan sky. We were darting straight towards the 10,016-feet volcano, Mt. Iliamna!
The next few seconds were a blur. I remember panicking, waking up Rishabh, panicking again, fiddling quickly with camera settings, and panicking some more. Outside my window, three quarter of the frame had now been taken up by the snow-clad volcano, and yet, we were not done approaching it! Soon I realized Lyle’s plans. He was about to circle the mighty mountain’s peak from close quarters –real close quarters– at about 60-80 miles per hour!
Darn it… this needed a wide-angle lens, not a 70-200mm!
Never mind the lens, I kept shooting in a frenzy. We had dropped a bit of elevation, the peak was no longer visible, and we were barely 30-40 yards from the volcano. The tip of our Cessna’s high wing was getting too close to the mountain and poking at my sanity. Somehow, time slowed down. I could see the volcano in great details as if I was standing on it. There it was… thickly ice-covered but de-iced down to colorful rocks here and there by the heat of hot steam and volcanic gases escaping large fumaroles skirted in green deposits. I could smell Sulphur. I could feel Iliamna.
1 minute 23 seconds, 35 frames, and a loud hoot later, it was all over. Or, was it? Will it ever be?
Yellowstone National Park is an active volcanic area. Currently the ongoing visible signs are geysers and fumaroles venting hot water and steam into the atmosphere. In this scene we are driving along the road and see many small fumaroles venting into the air and the water being collected in a small stream.

La presenza delle fumarole sul cratere del Vesuvio è una realtà che può indicare un cambiamento termico dovuto sia a scosse di terremoto che a piogge, quindi è fondamentale considerate il cambiamento della temperatura.
The presence of fumaroles on the crater of Vesuvius is a reality that can indicate a thermal change due to both earthquakes and rains, so it is essential to consider the change in temperature.

At the foothills of this spectacular volcanic mountain is an expanse of hot springs called Hveraröndor Hverir that are known for their changing variety. You may also find a number of fumaroles, mud pools and mud pots that all seem to be boiling with relentless energy. The pass Námaskarð is strategically located at a short distance from the Krafla volcano system as well as other interesting geological spots like Búrfellshraun and the desert Mývatsöræfi.
Námaskarð earns its notoriety chiefly because of its sulphurous mud springs called solfataras and steam springs called fumaroles. Though you will scarcely find any pure water spring in this wonderful geothermal site of Iceland, the beauty of the colorful minerals defies all comparisons. The gigantic size of the mud craters is what makes you go 'wow' at the sight of them.
The other thing that is sure to strike you about Námaskarð is the sheer lack of vegetation. However, if you give a thought to the high temperature range, it does not appear an impossibility altogether. The constant emission of the fumes has made the ground utterly sterile and acidic, unfit to sustain any floras and faunas. You must bear in mind that the fumes can be harmful for humans as well.
A geothermal region with boiling sulfuric mud springs and steam vents, Námaskarð is located at a short distance from huge volcanic mountain Krafla. Námaskarð, Hverarönd is an expanse of fumaroles, hot springs, mud pools, and mud pots. In this stunning arctic dessert, you will find boiling water and lands. Due to the hot surface, there is no vegetation found at Námaskarð geothermal area. The constant emission of acids has made the surface completely sterile and acidic. The presence of colorful minerals at this site provides an amazing panoramic view. Natural black rivers and boiling pools emitting steam and smoke lay in this colorful landscape are breathtaking. Everything at this acidic land is permeated with Sulphur, even the air, making the area quite distinct.

Valles Caldera is a 13.7-mile wide volcanic caldera in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico. Hot springs, streams, fumaroles, natural gas seeps and volcanic domes dot the caldera floor landscape.
The history of the "pinnacles" near Crater Lake began about 7,700 years ago when the eruptions of Mt. Mazama were reaching their climax. Torrents of red-hot, gas-charged pumice poured down Mazama's slopes at speeds of up to 100 mph (160kph). On top of this came a flow of heavier rocks called scoria. These glowing avalanches flooded downslope for many miles, leaving deep deposits in their wake.
Temperatures in the deposits may have exceeded 750 F (400 C). Plumes of vapors appeared, as gasses escaped from the settling rocks through vents called fumaroles. Minerals in the gasses, combined with extreme heat, welded the sides of the fumaroles in the shape of slender cones. Since then, streams have eroded a canyon through the deposits, exposing the cones. Many of these fossil fumaroles are hollow.
Nei pressi di Grindavík, il vapore fuoriesce con forza dal sottosuolo, segno tangibile dell’intensa attività geotermica islandese. L’Islanda si trova in una posizione particolare: è proprio sulla dorsale medio-atlantica, dove le placche tettoniche nordamericana ed eurasiatica si allontanano.
Questa zona è caratterizzata da una forte instabilità geologica, con frequenti eruzioni, fumarole e sorgenti termali.
Il vapore che si vede nella foto è prodotto dal riscaldamento sotterraneo dell’acqua a contatto con rocce incandescenti.
Una testimonianza potente della natura dinamica e viva di quest’isola straordinaria.

Hot Springs and Geysers in Yellowstone.
Yellowstone National Park preserves the most extraordinary collection of hot springs, geysers, mudpots, and fumaroles on Earth. More than 10,000 hydrothermal features are found here, of which more than 500 are geysers.
Microorganisms called thermophiles, or heat lovers, make their homes in the hydrothermal features of Yellowstone. Although individually they are too small to be seen with the naked eye, so many are grouped together in the park's hydrothermal features—trillions!—that they often appear as mats of color. These microorganisms are also called extremophiles because they inhabit environments that are extreme to human life.

While Geysir is the most famous of the, er, geysers in the Haukadalur Valley, it no longer erupts regularly. This big baby, Strokkur, is now the most photogenic and touristed gusher in the valley.
It typically erupts every 6–10 minutes. Its usual height is 15–20 metres, although it can sometimes erupt up to 40 metres high.
Strokkur was first mentioned in 1789, after an earthquake helped to unblock the conduit of the geyser. Its activity fluctuated throughout the 19th century; in 1815 its height was estimated to have been as much as 60 metres. It continued to erupt until the turn of the 20th century, when another earthquake blocked the conduit again. In 1963, upon the advice of the Geysir Committee, locals cleaned out the blocked conduit through the bottom of the basin, and the geyser has been regularly erupting ever since.
Haukadalur, from Old Norse: Haukadalr ("hawk dale"), is a valley with significant geothermal activity in Iceland, home to the most famous of Icelandic geysers – Geysir itself.
The shallow valley is at about 100 m above sea level about 110 km (70 mi) to the north-west of Reykjavík. Haukadalur is part of the Golden Circle tourist route, so it does get busy, but it is a great spot for some atmospheric photos, even when the Icelandic weather is as gloomy as it often is.

Geothermal mineral deposits, fumaroles and mudpots in southwest Iceland.
Mineral deposition occurs around fumaroles and on the surface of steaming soil. Most of these minerals, known as “hverasölt” in Icelandic, are water-soluble and get washed away in rain.
Nature is just great. Taken during the northern light storm on Monday 14.10.2013 near Lake Mývatn. The steam comes from a fumarole. It´s not a fake.
Our floatplane flew around Redoubt Volcano (Mount Redoubt) a couple of times. It was amazing to see this sight! The volcano is an active stratovolcano (made up of alternate layers of lava and ash), which last erupted in March, 2009. You can see steam venting out of a fumarole in this view. Elev 10,197 ft. Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Chigmit Mountains, the Aleutian Range, AK.
I'm currently working on a series of abstract photos of Iceland and its landscape and will post some occasional samples here. This is the first, from Krýsuvík / Seltún.
The Strokkur geyser is the very active neighbor of the original Geysir, which is now dormant. Both are part of the Haukadalur geothermal area, a field of geysers, steam vents (fumaroles), and mud pots in southwest Iceland.

Early mornings in Yellowstone National Park. Wildlife and tranquility replace crowds of visitors. The sound and smell of erupting geysers and steaming fumaroles fill the air and alone amongst the calm of a new day's dawn one is truly able to appreciate the beauty and raw natural power of the living breathing Earth.
