#Etna, 2016

An almost perfect ring of gas released from the Voragine, one of the summit craters of Mt Etna.

#VolcanoMonday #photomonday #Fotomontag #photo

Blue sky. A white ring with a diameter of several tens of meters at about 3500 m altitude.

#Etna, 2007

A former house that was flooded by a lava flow in 1983. The house was excavated from the lava flow near Rifugio Sapienza.

#VolcanoMonday #photomonday #Fotomontag #photo

A dark gray to black wall that represents the front of the building. In the wall you can see the outline of a door and a window. The door is filled with black lava rock, which entered the house from behind. Parts of the wall to the left and above the window have collapsed and gray concrete and red brick lie on top of the lava in the window. Rusty metal rods peek out from the roof or wall. Large chunks of lava lie on the flat roof. Grass and some debris in the foreground.

#Stromboli, June 2008

Lava bombs ejected from the volcanic crater roll and bounce down the steep flank (Sciara del Fuoco) of the island of Stromboli. With each impact, they produce small clouds of dust. Then they plunge into the sea.

#VolcanoMonday #photomonday #Fotomontag #photo #aeolian

In the left half of the image, a steep mountain flank covered with gray and black debris. Several small dust clouds are moving down the slope at intervals of a few meters. On the right the blue sea. In several places white gout splashes up and around these places you can see concentric waves. At the far right edge of the picture a small sailboat.

May 2009 - Mt Etna, Sicily

Since May 2008, Mt Etna has been producing lava from an eruptive fissure on its upper eastern flank. Temporary vents open again and again, squeezing out viscous lava like toothpaste.

#VolcanoMonday #Photomonday #Photo #Etna

In the foreground a pile of coarse cinder blocks whose color ranges from brownish to black. Above it, one can see a narrow, shallow lava flow, almost black on the surface. This is squeezed out of the pile and moves down the slope over a ramp of boulders. On the sidewall, the lava flow is bright red and resembles an outstretched tongue. In the background ash fields covered with white patches of snow. Here you can see how the air shimmers above the hot lava flow.

July 2010 - Mt Etna, Sicily

The view goes down from the northwestern rim of the Central Crater cone to the vent of the Voragine. Behind it, you can see the strongly eroded boundary wall to Bocca Nuova, another summit crater of Etna. A lot of gas rises here.

#VolcanoMonday #Photomonday #Fotomontag #Photo #Etna

At the bottom of the picture you can see boulders whose color ranges from light gray to reddish brown. The ground quickly turns into a very steep slope. This covers the crater floor. From there a single gas column rises. Behind it a steep, cliffy rock wall, which is mostly illuminated by the sun. The colors here change from reddish brown to brown or yellow-greenish. Along the wall, white steam escapes in some places. Behind it you can see many gas clouds rising from a large depression.

March 2007 - Turrialba, Costa Rica

This volcano is the second highest volcano of Costa Rica with 3325 m height. The view goes from the central crater to the southwest. Behind the wall is the active crater, which showed first signs of awakening during my visit.

#VolcanoMonday #Photomonday #Fotomontag #Photo #costarica

In the foreground a crater. On the right, a part of the crater wall, which has greenish to yellow deposits. Behind it, a dark, strongly fissured rock wall stretches from left to right, reaching its deepest point in the center of the image. White steam escapes from some of the furrows. Debris piles of coarse, reddish or black rubble have poured into the crater. Behind the wall, another crater with steep walls can be seen. White steam rises from it. Above the blue sky.

View from the Cumbre Vieja to the Pico Bejenado and the Caldera de Taburiente.

#VolcanoMonday #photomonday #Fotomontag #photo

In the foreground endimic (Canary) pines. Behind in the valley fog (low clouds). In the background the forested old volcano Pico Bejenado. Behind it the crater rim of the Caldera de Taburiente with steep rock walls. Above blue sky with few clouds.

#Stromboli, June 2008

#VolcanoMonday #photomonday #Fotomontag #photo #aeolian

View over the rocky crater rim down to the dark crater floor of Stromboli at dusk. Glowing material is ejected from two vents. Due to longer exposure, the ejection looks like the fire jet from a rocket. White steam rises from a smaller opening, which is illuminated reddish from below. In the background, the crater wall is partially illuminated by the activity. Behind it you can see the sea with some small boats.

At the eruptive fissure of 2008, Mt Etna May 2009

#VolcanoMonday #photomonday #Fotomontag #photo #etna

A wide fissure runs through the image from the lower left to the upper right. It sits on a row of flat cones. These are covered with black ash, which is partially covered by yellow sulfur deposits. White steam escapes in some places. In the background are snowfields and behind them the Southeast Crater cone which also emits white steam.

#VolcanoMonday #photomonday #Fotomontag #photo #etna

In the foreground you can see piles of snow covered with black ash. Then follow fields of snow and ash. In the background, the summit craters of Etna releasing white clouds of gas.

I have tried to introduce #VolcanoMonday here. Unfortunately, there has been no participation so far, but of course there aren't that many people here who have any photos at all.

Today, once again a photo for #VolcanoMonday :

It shows the 3432 m high Irazu in Costa Rica. It contains an acid lake and is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the country. It is one of Costa Rica's "drive in volcanoes", as a well-built road leads up to its summit. I took the photo in March 2007.

#Photomonday #Fotomontag #Photo #costarica

View down into a crater that has dark, steeply sloping walls. At the ground, a green lake. Behind the crater, a part of the sky with many small cumulus clouds. Vegetation can be seen in the foreground.

Here is a photo that I took on 07.07.2021 showing a short but very violent eruption (paroxysm) of Mt Etna's South East Crater.

#Fotomontag #Photomonday #VolcanoMonday #Etna #Eruption

Orange-red lava fountains shoot from the breach of a crater covered with red-hot material. Next to the lava fountains rises a reddish illuminated column of gas and steam. In the foreground, the black siluette of an ancient cone.

How about a revival of #VolcanoMonday in the Fediverse? I will start, of course with a photo of #Etna: the South East Crater from the south flank in June 2022.
