Volcanic lava flow goes into the sea through the community of Leilani Estates near the town of Pahoa on the Big Island, Hawaii. [Seen from helicopter ride.]
Cliffs of volcanic rocks rise along the Canyon of the North Fork of the Shoshone River, west of Cody, Wyoming. The road from Cody to Yellowstone National Park winds through this canyon in the Absaroka Mountains. The rocks exposed here are volcanics and volcaniclastic rocks that are part of the larger Absaroka Volcanic Field in northwest Wyoming and south-central Montana. This volcanic activity spanned a period of about 10 million years during the Middle Eocene (53-43 million years ago). The volcanic activity covered an area approximately 165 miles long and up to 70 miles wide. Much of the rock in the photo is volcaniclastic. These rocks are sedimentary rocks composed of eroded volcanic material. These volcaniclastic rocks formed in alluvial aprons surrounding the eruptive centers. They are made up conglomerates, breccia, sandstone, siltstone and claystone derived from eroded volcanic material. The volcaniclastics were deposited by debris flow, lahars, as well as streams. They are interbedded with volcanic flows and cut by numerous igneous dikes. The area shown in the photo is near Mummy Cave.
An latite (trachyandesite) dike cuts trough volcaniclastic sediments in this road cut along the North Fork Highway (US 14/16/20) in Shoshone National Forest west of Cody Wyoming. These rocks belong to the Eocene Absaroka Volcanics Supergroup which is the remnant of a volcanic field that was active in the Eocene between 53 and 43 million years ago. About 60% of the volcanic material, including the rocks pictured, were extruded between 50 and 47 million years ago, about a 3 million year period.
An Igneous dike is a planar to irregularly-planar igneous intrusion that cut across country rocks in a vertical or oblique orientation. A dike forms when lava pushes up through cracks, fractures or fissures in a host rock. In the Absaroka Volcanics dikes usually radiate out from volcanic centers in swarms. At this location the host rock is a volcaniclastic which is made up of sedimentary rocks composed of eroded volcanic material. These volcaniclastic rocks formed in alluvial aprons surrounding the eruptive centers. They are made up conglomerates, breccia, sandstone, siltstone and claystone derived from eroded volcanic material. The volcaniclastics were deposited by debris flow, lahars, as well as streams.
This volcanic tunnel or cave is a feature of Punta Vicente Roca on Isabela Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
Thanks to a volcanic eruption thousands of miles away in Chile, NZ has been an amazing place to wake up to.

This was the #1 photo by Flickr - Interesting on the date June 14th 2005.
Right before midnight on June 14th the volcanic plume turned pink. The picture was taken from the shore in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Kelimutu National Park, high in the interior of Flores Island contains a volcanic landscape with three crater lakes that change colour depending on the light and time of year. In this close-up overview, two of the lakes can be seen, Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai (left) and Tiwu Ata Polo (right) crater lakes with reflections of the colourful craters in the water. Kelimutu National Park, East Nusa Tenggara Island (Flores Island), Indonesia. Just in case your thinking of going for a swim the water is highly acidic, near boiling hot, and unsurvivable.

Landscape version taken a little earlier than the previous shot.
I'm not sure which I like better. Suggestions? Both are staying on my HDD for sure! Just wanted to ask you folks which would be more suitable for a print!
Thanks ahead folks!
Highest Position: Explore #8.. Thanks again!
The Kerid is a volcanic crater lake approximately 3,000 yrs old (half the age of the surrounding Volcanic features) located in the GrÃmsnes area in the south of Iceland and has the most visually recognisable caldera, red (rather than black) volcanic rock.
It was originally believed that the Kerið was formed by a huge volcanic explosion, but is now believed that Kerið was a cone shaped volcano which erupted and emptied its magma reserve.
When the magma was depleted, the weight of the cone collapsed into the empty chamber. The current pool of water at the bottom in the crater is at the water table level.

The Cascade Volcanic Arc is a segment of the Cascade Range in western North America extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California. A prominent grouping is The Three Sisters with each peak at more than 10,000 feet (3,000 m) in elevation. As we returned from Denver to Corvallis,Oregon, we had hoped to see some of these peaks. At first, there were heavy clouds obscuring them, but the dark clouds lifted as we approached Sisters, Oregon. This revealed middle Sister peaking its pointed top partially behind North Sister.
The Portuguese island of Madeira is a paradise for geologists… Approximately 5 million years ago, the fiery birth of Madeira began deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. As volcanic eruptions occurred, molten lava, ash, and rocks were expelled, gradually building up the islands' foundations.
One of a few photos taken from my recent visit to the Canaries, this one is Lanzarote which is one of the most lava prolific volcanic islands. See large for greater detail.
Rainier finally erupted this weekend! The wildlflowers aren't great this year, but I found a decent patch of them at this location. I think my favorite part of the image is the tiny red sun dipping below the spine of the mountain. It's a small detail, but there are other locations in the vicinity where this shot would not have been possible.
Southern Locomotive Limited's 'West Country' No. 34028 'Eddystone' makes a volcanic restart after taking water at Stafford on 1st November 2025, as it leads The Railway Touring Company's 'Chiltern Explorer' charter, 1Z28 0739 Manchester Piccadilly - Reading around Queensville Curve and joins the Trent Valley Line.

We, being my dad, our two railfanning friends from England and myself, arrived in Binghampton NY in a pea soup fog, and quickly found CP Rs18s 1811 and 1810 kicking cars on the east side of the yard.
They would appear and fade away in the fog as they switched Conklin yard. After coupling to a cut, they let out twin plumes that any volcano would be proud of, accompanied, I would assume, by the signature ALCo burble.
