Etna is currently the highest and the largest volcanic cone in Europe (145 km circuit at the foot). Height of 3340 m above sea level (as a result of explosions is subject to change).
It is composed mainly of basalt. From crater at the top bring out the steam and gases, during an eruption - ash and volcanic bombs. The lower slopes are densely populated. Cultivated fields, orchards and vineyards date back to about 800-900 m above sea level The upper limit of the forest at an altitude of 2200 m above sea level. In the upper floor for most of the year with snow. Since the 80 th century there was many explosion, which the strongest was in 1669. It was then destroyed Catania. Last eruption took place March 4, 2012 year.

Etna to obecnie najwyższy i największy w Europie stożek wulkaniczny (145 km obwodu u podnóża). Wysokość 3340 m n.p.m. (wskutek wybuchów ulega zmianom).
Zbudowany jest głównie z bazaltów. Z krateru na szczycie wydobywają się pary i gazy, w czasie erupcji – bomby wulkaniczne i popioły. Dolne stoki są gęsto zaludnione. Pola uprawne, sady i winnice sięgają ok. 800–900 m n.p.m. Górna granica lasu na wysokości 2200 m n.p.m. W górnym piętrze przez większą część roku zalega śnieg. Od V wieku zanotowano 80 dużych wybuchów, z których najsilniejszy był w 1669 roku. Została wtedy zniszczona Katania. Ostatnia erupcja wulkanu nastąpiła 4 marca 2012 roku.

I don't normally take pictures, much less post them, of my food. But I have to make an exception for this shot. A department lunch at a Japanese Teppan-style restaurant, where they prepare the food at your table, gave me the chance to catch the chef creating this volcano for us. Very cool.

A close-up, silhouette of a 3-D greeting card. The card is a Valentine’s card I gave to my wife this year. It says “I lava you!” on the front. When opened, two volcanoes pop-up each spewing sparks of hearts and being connected by the heart cloud. The starry night sky was simulated with fiery lights (hidden from view) illuminating a sheet of glitter paper from below. The fiery lights also provided the illuminated horizon effect.
Shot for Looking Close… on Friday!, Silhouette.
another volcano, the arenal volcano was just a magnificent sight, from every angle. we were weary lucky to have clear weather and no fog and big clouds blocking the view, thank you Costa Rica:)
The volcanic island is located 48 km off the coast. Captain Cook christened her at the cloud of steam that surrounded her. It is 324 ha large and originated from three other volcanoes. In 1953 it was put under protection of nature and is now private property. White Island is the summit of a submarine volcano and is located in New Zealand.

Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
Two volcanos erupting as seen from the wall of the crater containing Mt Bromo. An amazing sight in Indonesia.
Southward view from the highest point of Shiga - Kusatsu Hihgland Route at an altitude of 2,172 m. This is a reedit with Lightroom of a previously uploaded photo.
Behind the crater of Shiranesan are moto-shiranesan (original Shiranesan) and Asamayama. Jagged peaks to the right of Asamayama is Yatsugatake. Tip of Mt Fuji is seen to the left of Asamayama. They are all volcanoes.
The shooting site is called Shibu-touge pass (渋峠) which is a dividing ridge between the Pacific and Japan Sea slopes and a border between Gunma and Nagano prefectures.
It is on the slope of Yokoteyama (横手山) with an elevation of 2,307 m. It is another volcano.

Kita Alps is half-hidden by snow clouds but this area does not have much snow unlike its neighbours of Hakuba and Otari.
Ikeda-Matsukawa Bridge over the Takasegawa river is locally known as a good view point of Kita Alps peaks, but the bridge itself is rarely shot.
It is so named as it is a boundary between Ikeda and Matsukawa municipalities.
Mt.Fuji-like peak near the centre is called Ariakesan (有明山 2,268 m). It is not very high but looks prominent. Hence it is regarded as a sacred mountain, and there are shrines at the foot and at the peak in Matsukawa village. It is not a volcano.
It is nicknamed Shinano Fuji. Shinano is the old name of Nagano prefecture. It is one of dozens of local Fuji mountains in Japan.
Mount Saint Helens, volcanic peak in the Cascade Range, southwestern Washington, U.S.
Its eruption on May 18, 1980, was one of the greatest volcanic explosions ever recorded in North America.
Well this area was home for the first couple of days. Antisana is the fourth highest Volcano in Ecuador standing at 18,714ft (5,704)m I took this picture at about 14,000ft which was high enough to lose some of the group to altitude sickness.
Osorno Volcano is a 2,652-metre (8,701 ft) tall conical stratovolcano andone of the most active volcanoes of the southern Chilean Andes.Elevation. 2,652 m (8,701 ft)
Thanks to Mono Andes, a master of the mountains, for helping me to identify the volcano www.flickr.com/photos/monolive/)
Arenal Volcano - 1,670 m (5,480 ft)
Arenal Volcano, in Spanish Volcán Arenal, is an active andesitic stratovolcano in north-western Costa Rica around 90 km northwest of San José,.... Arenal Volcano National Park
I photographed these basalt columns while hiking the Grapevine Trail in Washington, Utah, close to St. George. They are reminders that portions of the Colorado Plateau have featured volcanic activity (over 80 sites identified) for millions of years.
The last documented volcanos in this region are thought to have erupted 600 - 1000 years ago, but geologists believe that it is just a matter of time before another eruption occurs. Of course, that 'time' could be a few months from now or 10,000 years into the future.
These columns of rock are a volcanic rock called basalt, which makes up about 90% of all the lava rock on Earth. How do these basalt columns form? It’s due to physical processes that take place in melted lava rock as it cools.
Imagine a huge flow of hot, liquid magma that is settling. The outer layer is starting to cool and darken in color from orange to black. As it cools, it needs to shrink a bit, as hot materials usually take up more space than cooler ones. Because of this shrinking, the surface of the lava starts to crack. But this cracking isn’t always random.
In this case, the lava starts to crack into regular shapes. Those shapes are forming because of how the lava cools. It starts at different spots called “centers.” If those centers are evenly spaced, the forces that pull inward toward the centers end up creating different chunks of cooling lava that are hexagonal (6-sided), or close to it. The more uniform the material of the lava is, the more evenly those centers pull. That means it is more likely it will cool into hexagonal chunks. Scientists also think that faster cooling, like when lava is exposed to water, may also help with the formation of these columns.
Information on basalt column formation adapted from Internet sources, including from Arizona State University.

Le volcan Capelinhos : ce cap occidental de l'île de Faial est le site de la plus récente éruption volcanique des Açores qui s'est produite en septembre 1957. L'éruption a commencé sous l'eau, puis en surface, crachant suffisamment de cendres, et de la lave pour former une nouvelle masse terrestre, enterrant presque complètement le phare tout proche. De nombreuses personnes ont perdu leur maison et leurs moyens de subsistance. La végétation commence à peine à coloniser le site.
The Capelinhos volcano: this western cape of the Faial island is the most recent volcanic eruption in the Azores that occurred in September 1957. The eruption started underwater, then came on the surface, spewing enough ash and lava to form a new land mass, almost completely burying the nearby lighthouse. Many people lost their homes and livelihoods. Vegetation is just on the starting point of colonization.
O Vulcão dos Capelinhos: este cabo ocidental da ilha do Faial é a mais recente erupção vulcânica nos Açores que ocorreu em setembro de 1957. A erupção começou debaixo d'água, depois veio à superfície, soltando cinza e lava suficientes para formar uma nova massa terrestre, enterrando quase completamente o farol próximo. Muitas pessoas perderam suas casas e meios de subsistência. A vegetação está apenas no ponto inicial da colonização.
