On the left of the photo is Volcano Peak, seen on our drive back from Sarrail Ridge on Sunday. It doesn't look challenging, but it took us 7 1/2 hours to complete the summit on Wednesday...
Overall, this was a more challenging hike than anticipated, due to the steep forested section, and the tricky boulder field on the upper slopes. It took longer than we had predicted, but the weather was with us - chilly, but blue skies.
I took this photo of the volcano Etna, just a few days after it had erupted. Please give me some feedback! Also, it would be so great if you would follow me on Instagram, where I post much more often. Thank you!
🇬🇧 Normally all my photos are usually accompanied by a text.
But here I don't know what to say, just that a picture is worth a thousand words.
Although the Cumbre Vieja volcano has been off for a few weeks now, lots of encouragement to La Palma !!!
Good week to everybody !

🇪🇸 Normalmente todas mis fotos suelen ir acompañadas de un texto.
Pero aquí no se que decir, simplemente que una imagen vale más que mil palabras.
Aunque el volcán de Cumbre Vieja lleva ya unas semanas apagdo, ¡¡muchísimo ánimo a La Palma !!
Buena semana para todo el mundo !!

NASA PIC OF THE DAY:
Explanation: A volcano on Krakatoa is still erupting. Perhaps most famous for the powerfully explosive eruption in 1883 that killed tens of thousands of people, ash from a violent eruption might also have temporarily altered Earth's climate as long as 1500 years ago. In 1927, eruptions caused smaller Anak Krakatau to rise from the sea, and the emerging volcanic island continues to grow at an average rate of 2 cm per day. The latest eruption of Anak Krakatau started in 2008 April and continues today. In this picture, Anak Krakatau is seen erupting from Rakata, the main island of the Krakatoai group. High above, stars including the Big Dipper are clearly apparent.
The name of Yellowstone National Park's "Mud Volcano" feature and the surrounding area is misleading; it consists of hot springs, mud pots and fumaroles, rather than a true mud volcano. Depending upon the precise definition of the term mud volcano, the Yellowstone formation could be considered a hydrothermal mud volcano cluster. The feature is much less active than in its first recorded description, although the area is quite dynamic. Yellowstone is an active geothermal area with a magma chamber near the surface, and active gases are chiefly steam, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide.[8]
The mud volcano in Yellowstone was previously a mound, until suddenly, it tore itself apart into the formation seen today.[9]

None of the above takes away from the sense of awe and beauty seen in this majestic area.

Position: Stromboli is a small island in the Tyrrhenian sea, situated the nord of Sicily. Eruption and smoke of volcano Stromboli is every day. Beautiful show.
Volcano Alaid and Atlasov Island (Kurilas islands)
The island is named after Vladimir Atlasov, a 17th-century Russian explorer who incorporated the nearby Kamchatka Peninsula into Russia. It is essentially the cone of the submarine volcano Alaid protruding above the Sea of Okhotsk to a height of 2,285 metres (7,497 feet). The island has an area of 119 square kilometres (46 square miles), but is currently uninhabited.
There are several such mini-craters around Alaid.
We visited one which is called the ‘Olympic Rupture’, named so as it was formed during the eruption in 1972 around the time of the Munich Olympics. You see it on a photo.
One month later after our visit, Alaid erupted again (september 2022)
Just home from Auckland after seeing two of our daughters who live up there. This is the view from Mt Eden towards the Harbour. The crator of the volcano is still evident though the volcano is extinct.
Edit: you can just see a person walking on the left above the crator to give some idea of scale.

Dangers to NZ's largest city!
from Wikipedia
Since the volcano field is not extinct, new volcanic events may occur at any time, though the usual period between events averages between hundreds and thousands of years. However, the effects of such an event, especially a full-scale eruption, would be substantial – ranging from pyroclastic surges, earthquakes, lava bombs, ash falls, venting volcanic gas to lava flows. These effects might continue for several months and cause substantial destruction and disruption. ... One possibility is that more than one volcano may erupt in Auckland at one time. There is strong evidence that five erupted within a span of 50 years or less, approximately 32,000 years ago.
Auckland has a seismic monitoring network comprising six seismometers (including one 250 m deep at Riverhead) and three repeaters within the Auckland Region that will pick up the small tremors likely to precede any volcanic activity. These tremors are likely to give some hours to some days of warning about an impending eruption and its approximate location.
The Geldingadalur volcano is a relatively 'young' part of Iceland; all of the Reykjanes Peninsula is.
Located in southern Peru near the city of Arequipa, this volcano was an amazing sight walking around the old city streets. The last eruption was in 1985.
We started our day at midnight with a cold motorbike ride up the base of this volcano on to see the infamous blue flames. Motivated by our excitement, we hiked up to the rim and descended into the crater in record time. It wasn't long before we had to don our gas masks for the noxious sulfuric smoke. At times, the smoke was so thick It would completely engulf us, inducing a bout of violent coughing. Down near the lake you can see the blue flames from the combustion of the sulfuric gases. It didn't look much different from a gas stove and certainly wasn't worth the smell and stinging eyes!
Despite our disappointment, we held out hope for a sunrise. And boy it did not disappoint! The plumes of sulfuric gas, along with fast-moving fog, created a surreal light show. Evelyn said she got whiplash from rapidly turning her head from side to side, trying to not miss anything. I will have more images to share from this morning to be sure!
Thank you for the visit and comments are welcome.

Irazú Volcano, 46 km east of San Jose, Costa Rica, is 750 meters across and 270 meters deep. At 3,432 meters above sea level, it's the highest active volcano in Costa Rica. Irazú has erupted 23 times since 1723 but tourists can still visit.
Male throat varies from steely grayish-purple to bright magenta; note short straight bill and rufous in tail. Female similar to Scintillant Hummingbird but with dark central tail feathers. Small hummingbird that feeds on small flowers in gardens, second growth, and forest edges, mostly above 2000m.
On both the flight from Bali to Wakatobi and the return, we passed over this volcano. But both times the island was shrouded in clouds, so I could not see the size or shape of the island. So I do not know the name of this mysterious volcano, but I know it has a tall peak and a caldera filled with clouds.
That is actual lava being bubbled out of the Kiluaea Caldera, also known as the Halema'uma'u Crater, on the Big Island of Hawaii. I have been to this location, at the Jagger Museum, a few times but never saw anything like this. The perspective is kind of hard to show, as there is nothing in the photo for reference. I did, however, get to overhear a Park Ranger talking to a few tourists about what was going on. I will attempt to reiterate and paraphrase said Ranger. The crust broke loose a couple years ago and now glows red at dusk and at night. This visible lava does not happen often, in fact, it had been a few years since it has last been seen like this and usually only lasts for a few days. The caldera itself (the hole) is about three miles wide. The lava is bubbling and bursting up about 140ft high. When I arrived there were the two areas here, one to the left and one to the right, and by the time I left there was only the one on the left still going. I had drove up here by myself, from where we were staying in Ka'u, hoping for a clear night to take star pics. I got this instead. Which I am very happy with. The next night I came back with my wife and Mother-in-law but it had already stopped spewing lava. We had actually been planning on hiking out to the Kalapana flow in a couple days so this was a great treat to see before starting that adventure. Nature is amazing. Hawaii is amazing.
Mayon Volcano (Central Bikol: Bulkan Mayon, Tagalog: Bulkang Mayon), also nown as Mount Mayon, is an active stratovolcano in the Philippine province of Albay, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Renowned as the "perfect cone" because of its almost symmetric conical shape, the volcano and its surrounding landscape was declared a national park on July 20, 1938, the first in the country. It was reclassified a Natural Park and renamed Mayon Volcano Natural Park in the year 2000

With this morning’s lunar eclipse, I wanted to capture Halema’uma’u Crater in Volcanoes National Park with the moon above it. I really would have liked the moon to be lower in altitude so that I could have zoomed in more. Oh well, it was an amazing sight to see in person. My photos won’t do it justice. Here’s how small the moon actually looked using a wide angle lens.
