Hraunfossar (LAVA WATERFALLS)
Hraunfossar - Lava Falls - are beautiful and unusual natural phenomena located in Borgarfjordur in western Iceland, only 1 hour away from the capital city of Reykjavík.
Clear, cold springs of subterranean water seep through the lava and run as tiny waterfalls and rapids into the Hvita River.
Hraunfossar have been protected since 1987. They're best described as a collection of countless creeks and cascades, small and big, streaming out of the lava over a distance of about 900 metres.
The glacier Langjökull is visible from this point of view and this lava field is a construction from one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier.
Black lava rocks everywhere can be found at this beach.
Kua Bay (Manini'owali Beach) is part of the Kekaha Kai State Park and is located along the leeward coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.
The southern coast of the Big Island of Hawaii has a long section that's 100% recent, cooled, lava flows. Most of the lava on the surface is only a few decades old and some is only a few years old, if there's a newer landscape on Earth I don't know where it is!

Marine Iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) - Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
A marine iguana overlooking his portion of the beach. This male was extremely cooperative and I took quite a few photos of him some of which I shared before. A big male like this will hold down a section of the beach and chase away other males that approach, sometimes fights result. However, interestingly the territories do no shift depending on who wins or loses but rather the dominance hierarchy does and the more dominant males will have more females in their territories. Really an amazing lizard in an amazing place.
This magnificent place in the west of Iceland is a photographers dream, specially in the fall when the colors are the brightest. Fresh water from the glacier trickles through the lava and into the glacial river. This photo is stitched together in Photoshop from tree original shots.
Entering a building, I was surprised to find this candle on the floor. Please note the pavement bricks make out of lava.
While flying along the river bed searching for patterns, I noticed this lava field beside the river, With the road and river separating these two fields, it is really a unique place which makes me wonder how lava got there and how river survived .
A few thousand years ago glaciers extended far down the main valleys on Mt Ruapehu. Here in the Whangaehu Valley, on the eastern side, lava erupted from summit vents strongly interacted with the ice and snow. The unusual shape and texture of the lava over which the waterfall flows suggests that it was probably emplaced into a melt-water tunnel at the base of a glacier. Today, the Whangaehu Glacier has retreated far up the valley - it's just visible at top left. The waterfall is about 30 m high.
I have a dream, I hope will come true
That you'll grow old with me and I'll grow old with you
Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea
We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank too
I lava you

L'incredibile bellezza dei vulcani, toccati appena da un raggio di sole al mattino, mentre dal mare le nuvole grigie si allontanano sospinte dagli Alisei.
Lanzarote, Montanas de Fuego

Hier begann unsere Wanderung zu den älteren Vulkankegeln auf Lanzarote.
Lanzarote ist eine Insel vulkanischen Ursprungs. Vor rund 36 Millionen Jahren begannen wiederholte unterseeische Vulkanausbrüche den Sockel der Insel zu bilden. Diese Eruptionen entstanden als Erscheinungen von Intraplattenvulkanismus durch Kontinentaldrift und Hotspot-Vulkanismus. Ausführlicheres dazu im Artikel Kanarische Inseln. Vor 15,5 Millionen Jahren wuchs Lanzarote über die Meeresoberfläche hinaus. Das Geodynamische Labor Lanzarote erforscht die dazugehörigen terrestrischen, ozeanischen und atmosphärischen Phänomene.
Die Oberfläche Lanzarotes ist durch vier vulkanische Hauptphasen entstanden, die meist durch die Kalium-Argon-Datierung nachgewiesen sind:
Phase 1: Hier entstanden das Famara-Gebirgsmassiv im Norden, der zweithöchste Gebirgszug Los Ajaches, der östliche Teil der Rubicón-Ebene, sowie einzelne Vulkane bei Tías im Südosten. Diese Eruptionsphase fand vor 15,5 bis 3,8 Millionen Jahren statt, unterbrochen durch Zeiten, die von Erosion geprägt waren.
Phase 2: Hier entstanden der westliche Teil der Rubicón-Ebene mit dem Montaña Roja, einige Vulkane im Inselinneren, sowie der Montaña de Guanapay bei Teguise und der Atalaya bei Haría im Norden. Diese eruptive Phase fand vor etwa vor 1,3 bis 2,7 Millionen Jahren statt.
Phase 3: Hier gab es bis zu hundert Eruptionszentren, die sich vor etwa 730.000 bis 240.000 Jahren über die ganze Insel verteilt haben.
Phase 4: Hier wird unterschieden: Die erste Eruptionsphase ließ vor gut 3000 Jahren im Nordosten Lanzarotes das 30 Quadratkilometer große Malpaís de la Corona und damit auch die Cueva de los Verdes entstehen. Die zweite Eruptionsphase ereignete sich von 1730 bis 1736 und 1824, wobei über 23 Prozent der Fläche Lanzarotes mit etwa drei bis fünf Kubikkilometer neuer Lava aus etwa 30 neuen Vulkankratern bedeckt wurden. Diese Größenordnung ist hinsichtlich Dauer, eruptierter Lavamengen und Zusammensetzung der Laven (u. a. Olivin-Basalt) in historischer Zeit weltweit eine der bedeutendsten, nach den Eruptionen der Eldgjá (um 934) und der Laki-Krater (1783-84) in Island. Heute erstreckt sich auf einem Großteil dieses Gebietes der Timanfaya-Nationalpark.
LEGO IDEAS is currently running the contest 'Your build in the world-famous LEGO House!'. One of the challenges is to make an alternative nature build. What if there is life possible in hot lava? It would be great to spot a Lava Dolphin!
Búðarhraun has one of the most beautiful, vegetated areas in Iceland. Its eastern part was protected in 1977. Búðir is a great spot for sea baths, but care must always be taken to exercise the utmost caution when bathing in the sea. In ancient sources, Búðahraun is called Klettshraun and the volcano in the middle of the lava field is called Búðaklettur (Búða cliff). In reality, Búðaklettur isn't actually a cliff but an 88 m high crater from which the lava flowed around 5000–8000 years ago.
It had been a while since I had hiked out the lava, so I went again last night. In January, the beach that had formed since summer collapsed into the ocean. Since then, there has been a single lava tube, several feet wide, spraying into the ocean. The height of the lavafall was 40-50 ft.
The National Park now keeps the crowds ~1000 ft from the lava and ~200 ft from the cliff. Unlike before, when 100% of visitors would step over the ropes to see the lava and the rangers didn't care, they are actually enforcing the restriction now. It was actually a bit difficult to get a clear view of the lava.
Yes, seascapes are my thing now. Before my recent seascape images, I hadn´t done them in ages. I had forgotten how pleasant and often exciting it is to capture them. One never knows what the outcome will be and there are often surprises and freak waves to keep things interesting when you are shooting in the ocean water.
This time it was only my shoes and pants that got wet, plus a couple of filters. Nothing to bad.
This image is taken on Hvaleyri near my home in Hafnarfjörður. Just below the golf course are some really nice places to shoot seascapes where Lava rock is still being erodet by the ocean.
Volcanic scoriae crater born from the fracture at the eastern base of the Northeast Crater, 3025-3010 alsm - Etna, July 21, 2014.
Lava Beds National Monument, a truly special place. Very arid and fire-scarred from a blaze in 2020, it’s eerie and desolate, with a lot of brownish lava visible on the surface
Not nearly as impressive as during night at least as picture - the lava flows in Valle del Bove. But just imagine an unbelievable heat the crushing noise of moving rocks and the whole thing moving next to you. Then you can imagine what I was feeling standing next to this (two) still small lava flows at the east flank of Mt. Etna.

Brachycereus nesioticus
Wikipedia - "The lava cactus is a species of cactus, Brachycereus nesioticus, the sole species of the genus Brachycereus. The plant is a colonizer of lava fields – hence its common name – where it forms spiny clumps up to 60 cm (24 in) tall. Its solitary white or yellowish white flowers open in the daytime. It is endemic to the Galápagos Islands."

I share my photos in groups so more people can see them, but I do not appreciate copied & pasted, pre-made comments with ad images for said groups. It comes off as spammy advertisement, to me. If you found my image and you like it, please make your own original comment. Otherwise, it will be removed. I don't mean to seem ungrateful, but I also don't think it's a compliment to spam someone with group ad images.
I'm finally getting around to processing lava photos from February since I’m on break now. This one was from a clear morning with no wind, causing the plume from the lava ocean entry in the distance to rise straight up. The freshly dried lava is quite shiny and reflective compared to the old hardened lava.
