From October to March large numbers of Adelie penguins are seen on rocky Paulet Island, Antarctica. A volcanic cone is visible in the background.
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.
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.

For R.T.
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!
This is a vent that was drilled to reduce volcanic pressure at Twin Lakes, near Mammoth, CA There are several other similar vents in the same cliff face that skirts Twin Lakes. The volcano is dormant, but it’s possible (though not likely) that it might, at some point, start to become active again. If that happens, hopefully these vents would keep it from blowing the top off the mountain.
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.
Back in 2002 and with my first new 2 Mp digital camera in hand, I took a trip to Warrumbungle National Park, a comfortable 5 hours drive north west from Sydney. The national park is based on the geographical Warrumbungle Mountain Range, sometimes shortened to the Warrumbungles,
The Warrumbungles are the remnants of a large heavily eroded shield volcano which was active from 13 to 17 million years ago. The volcano is estimated to have been 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) high and 50 kilometres (31 mi) wide. It formed as volcanic explosions occurred over millions of years. The remaining complex rocky formations are what is left after millions of years of erosion.
In this shot you see The Breadknife, a 90m high narrow rock wall formed when magma was forced through a crack in the earth's surface and intruded vertically into volcanic tuff and breccia. It cooled and set into a hard, narrow mass with numerous contraction joints. Erosion has left a long sliver of stone exposed which is hundreds of metres long and only several metres wide.
To the right of The Breadknife is Bluff Pyramid, a lave dome formed when lava bubbled to the surface and clogged up the source vent. The plug formed below the surface and blocked the vent. The resustant plug is prominent now as adjacent softer materials have eroded away.
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.
